The great thing about W4R is that it performs well for every genres of music. It's light, durable, and an exceptional fit for a UIEM.
Did you get the "star" tips with yours? Shocked to hear the old silicone olives would be better than the star tips.
Has anyone heard "Hotel California" by the Eagles with these things non EQed? Crazy awesome and I don't even really like that song. Still can't get over Metallica's S&M album with these. Rock is not my favorite genre but I keep going back to it. Soundstage, imaging, and separation rock.
I have heard "Hotel California" with the W4...as a matter of fact the Eagles whole library seems to be mastered beautifully and brings out the best of the W4. Also Steely Dan.
THE VEIL
Would love to talk with a Westone design engineer regarding what made them tune the treble so soft where it almost seems veiled? Yet, the detail retrieval is still pretty amazing and actually BETTER than many IEM's that are brighter sounding. Like, how can that be?
The exact opposite would be like a ER4. Anybody have any idea why it's tuned this way? So refined and overly smooth? With 4 drivers and not overly bass heavy you'd think it would be razor sharp detail..
But I DO still love the sound of the W4.
1 word. Fatigue.
