Member Reviews: Westone 4R with Removable Cables

I have had many in ear and,on ear phones over the years.I currently use hd800,and also the 4r. At 72 years old,my hearing has changed,so my thoughts might not be the same as yours.I found these needed burning in to get the best out of.Before burning in,i could not get comfortable with them,because of the plastic sleeve supporting the cable So having (VERY CAREFULLY!.) removed the sleeve,leaving about half inch for support,they are now,the most comfortable in ears ive ever had.The bass at first,seemed a little lacking,but blends very well into the mids without any noticeable overhang. The mids again blend well into the treble without any bleed. Having used a few different buds,i...

I had these for about 3 months now.  I can say that this is an eye-opener for me.  I had lower tier IEMs before, namely Sennheiser CX-300, Beats Tour (aweful build quality), Klipsch II, Brainwavz M3 etc.  and I liked the sound of those for their price, except for the Beats.  I always saw the higher priced IEMs like the Westone series in stores and always shrugged off the idea of them sounding that much more in relation to the price increase.  That was until I caved in and bought a UM3X. Honestly, I was disappointed with the sound because I felt it was congested and has too boomy bass, that was until I got my brain wrapped around the sound and it became awesome,...

it is the best headphone i have never had! It is a perfect headphone!

Great universal IEM. Highly recommended.

DISCLAIMER: I am not an audiophile. I am an audio appreciator. I hope.   VALUE: Overall I'd say that the value for these IEMs is pretty good, given how it sounds and what it does.   AUDIO QUALITY: Highs - The highs for this is clear, crisp, and it sounds really good. It's not distorted at all no matter how much is going on, and the separation between the highs and mids is clean. Mids - The mids are full and neutral. Its detailed without being flat, but there doesn't seem to be much coloration to it either. Bass - It's there, but it's not in your face. If you are wanting "boom boom" or like to 'feel it' then these will be lacking in the bass department for you....

Amazingly detailed and never fatiguing *sweet highs intimate and detailed mids bass is excellent for me but mostly may not be for some but amp will help
