Your new studio consideration?

Hey folks! Guess this would probably be my first proper post.

I'm a person who's rather obsessed with in-ear monitors (musician level earphones). Ever since I bought my first one, I've rarely listened to the music on my MP3 players with regular earphones. In ear monitors are especially useful to musicians. A well designed in ear monitor comes with a great noise isolation capability, allowing the musician to pay attention to his music as he plays without having it muffled by the noise from the crowd. While those with bigger wallets go for custom acrylic moulded in ear monitors, the rest of us prefer the universal ones (fits all ears). I am a huge fans of the Westone's in ear monitors. I've tried every one of their models, the UM3x being my favorite. When I listen to my music with Westone's monitors, it's so much easier to distinguish each instrument in a song. For entry level musicians, or a person who's looking for a dynamic sounding, comfortable earphone, I recommend the UM1. To those wearing these for the first time, you'll be surprised at how well these fit in your ears (after a minute or two to figure out how to wear them properly). The sound quality for these, well worth the price, they're built for clarity, detail, precision. Listening to these I found that the dynamism in my music was enhanced, or to say it simply, made more "fun". The UM-1 comes in various colors, and now they come in packs of 5 too, Westone calls this the Jamhub (above). I love this idea. For those of you who wanna get your monitors as a band or build your own studios, these're probably a good option. The color variety makes it easier when you link up your earphones to the various ports, avoiding mix ups here and there (a huge time waster when you're jamming). You can check Westone's website for more details.

Well that's all from me for now, Happy New Year!
