RadTech Westone UM Series
RadTech has announced the Westone UM Series in-ear monitors with True Fit technology: "Experience the best sonic reproduction possible, with noise isolation far surpassing that of cumbersome and complicated active noise-canceling phones. External isolation is a noise-silencing 30dB, allowing listeners to hear the full dynamic range of recordings without having to play them at unnaturally high volume levels." The company says that the True Fit tips are constructed from a softer and denser material that blocks outside sound and noise much more efficiently. Two tip sizes are included to fit all users, and UM Series monitors can be fitted with custom ear molds at any time. Two models are currently available; the single driver UM-1 with a frequency response which matches or exceeds that of most high-end phones; 40-16,000Hz as well as the premium dual-driver UM-2 that offers a response of 20-18,000Hz. The UM Series Monitors start at $101 include four pair of True Fit eartips, a zippered storage/carry pouch and a sound conduit cleaning tool.
