Westone W1 Review - Page 2

Could you offer any comparisons between the W1 and the A151? I have the SE215, but find myself missing the BA sound of the A151. With your comparisons between the W1 and SE215, I was wondering if the W1 might be a worthy compromise between the A151 and SE215.

Perfect, thanks. Was tempted to get the W1 for a bit there (see what EQ could do to it), but if it sounds anything like the A151, then goodbye.

Really detailed review as usual and i have a question about comparing se215 to W1.Since you have enough info about se215 and W1 AND fiio E6,my question is: Will W1 have the bass of se215 if i use E6's EQ2? I'm ok with carrying W1 and E6 around if it will definitely give me the punch of an unamped se215.My source is sansa fuze v1 rockboxed.

no

 

a single BA driver will never move the same amount of air.  it may have the wave amplitude but it wont have that visceral quality that only moving a larger volume of air can.
