[QUOTE="David Karol, post: 56555, member: 3"] re: Decent Budget Ear Buds for Under $150? I think I'll try those out. A set of UM1s came today. I'm actually pretty un-impressed with their sound; I plan to send them back. They're not anywhere close to accurate in terms of reproducing the source audio at all. Very low-mid heavy, and the highs roll off pretty quickly. To get them close to where I'd like them, I need to make a large cut centered around 250Hz, and lift the highs a significant amount. They don't go low either, but I wasn't expecting them to. With that said, the noise cancellation is great, and handling noise with the wire isn't bad at all. I'm definitely new to in ears, but I expected a lot more out of these. Is this a 'you get what you pay for' situation, or do other products in this price range, such as the HF5 do better? Has anyone who has used both? [/QUOTE]
