Etymotic & Westone - Discussion & Impressions (index in 1st post)
Apr 19, 2024 at 1:15 AM Post #406 of 412
I am looking for an IEM from this manufacturer and in your opinion what are the best IEM that they have developed for the past 10 years. I have no limits for the budget just want good sounding quality.

For me, that would be Westone's ES80, easily.

I like the EVO's built quality... and of course, how it sounds. Especially the passive sound isolation.

Unfortunately, I have lost one side and Etymotic cannot sell me the missing driver. :frowning2: Which makes me quite frustrated at the brand. They offered me a small discount on a new pair... but at this moment I have a dead weight sitting in my drawer... :frowning2:

I owned a pair of W80 v2 a few years ago and I really liked them a lot (but had to sell them for some reasons). So, I was considering buying another pair of W80 (whatever the version), then I saw this interesting thread about the newer MACH lineup… Anyone had the chance to compare W80 with MACH 70? It could be very useful for me to have some information about their differences since I’m on the fence between these two models… Thanks a lot in advance!

The MACH 80 is nothing like the W80 soundwise. I would try and buy a W80 if you can, my one regret is not buying a new W80 for cheap when I could.

I've never heard the MACH 70 so can't help you with that comparison.

Yeah, from what I've read so far, the MACH 80 is not on my radar...

Anyone who has been able to compare the W80s to the MACH 70 (or MACH 60) can provide a brief comparison?
