Fremont, USA
I prefer natural neutral tuning
Source gear: iphone dongle and Hifiman HM802 DAP
I reviewed W60 on my youtube channel:

and the W80 on adorama’s website (titled A solid step up…)
https://www.adorama.com/r/we80v3bt-reviews
I currently own W60 v2 and W80 v3. I used to own w4r and um pro 30 v2. Long time Westone fan here. As someone who is intimately familiar with the Westone house sound, I shall be able to provide valuable opinions on how the new mach series compare with the old W series.

Good luck to everyone with getting onto the tour. I await your reviews keenly.

I will be getting the MACH 80 in any case but will be reading and watching your reviews. Its to replace my W80 which is a few years old now but still going strong and sounding as awesome as ever. :)

Would be very interesting to get your take of the very familiar W80 to the new MACH 80...
Why don't you join the tour?

Well I could, or alternatively I could use my day's holiday in early June, make a day of it, visit my local retailer, Hifiheadphones and see what I think. :wink:

I will be taking a pencil and paper on the day to jot down my initial impressions, so if I have anything useful to share, here on Head-Fi, good or bad I will do so.

Until then I will look forward to reading other's reviews and impressions, whilst trying to keep an open mind.

  • I haven't reviewed a Westone IEM, but I have heard a few models of their lineup at CanJam, so I'm interested in hearing these new ones! I have heard most all of the current Etymotic IEMs and reviewed the ER2XR and EVO.
