Here's a quick and short review of the LiveWire In-Ear monitors (IEM) after a few weeks of good listening. Initially, I felt that there was a serious lack of bass, but I soon realised that I was not wearing it correctly. As the LiveWire was my first pair of custom IEMs, I did not know how to wear it and could not get a good seal between the IEMs and my ear canal.
After a little trial and error, I manage to get a perfect seal. This is when the true colours of the LiveWire come out. The bass was tight, without being bloated. The mids and highs were detailed, and the sound staging was airy. Overall, the sound quality seems rather close to the Westone UM-2, but with more detail in the mids and highs. Bass though, the UM-2 is still better with a deeper more punchy delivery. To nitpick, I would prefer it to have a little more bass to add more impact. The LiveWire has a high sensitivity and can be enjoyed un-amp. However, it sounded better with a good amp set at low gain. I will rank the LiveWire 7.5 out of 10 points. :-)
