What customers say
The Westone UM Pro 30 is highly regarded for its exceptional comfort and detailed sound quality, ideal for extended use. Its ergonomic design ensures fatigue free listening sessions while providing excellent passive noise isolation. Sonically, the triple balanced armature drivers deliver a remarkably neutral and analytical sound signature.

The overall perceived quality and reliability confirm the UM Pro 30 offers strong value relative to its high performance.
Know before you buy
Balanced-armature drivers are designed for precision and efficiency, allowing for a more detailed, nuanced sound profile. By using three separate drivers paired with a three-way crossover, the UM Pro 30 can dedicate specific components to handle lows, mids, and highs independently, resulting in less distortion and greater clarity.
While they are engineered for the rigors of studio monitoring and stage performance, their balanced sound signature is excellent for audiophiles who prefer an accurate, uncolored representation of their music. They are a great choice if you value sonic detail over the boosted bass found in many consumer-grade earbuds.
Routing the cable over the top of your ear provides a more secure, stable fit that prevents the earpieces from falling out during movement. It also significantly reduces microphonics—the distracting cable noise that occurs when the wire rubs against your clothing.
Yes, the UM Pro 30 features a removable MMCX Audio™ Twisted Cable. This modular design allows you to easily swap out the cable if it wears out or if you prefer to upgrade to a different compatible cable.
No, these use passive noise isolation. By utilizing Westone’s True-Fit technology and a proper seal in your ear canal, they physically block out ambient noise, which is often preferred by professionals for a more natural, hiss-free listening experience.
This specification ensures that the left and right earpieces are matched to within 3dB of each other across the frequency range. This high level of consistency provides a balanced, centered stereo image, which is critical for accurate mixing and critical listening.
