    Best IEM for Jazz, Vocals, rhythmic stuff, for around $400-500 ?

    I'm looking for a new IEM.......my Westone4 got damaged, so that's a pretty sad story. Was an old faithful for years.    So, what would you recommend as a replacement? Weston W40? Grado GR10e?    I'm not an expert so would value input from you experts ! Thanks.

    Upgrade recommendations from Westone 4?

    Westone 4 Impressions and Reviews Thread

    Hello folks, Just received my W4 in the mail. (thanks for the quick delivery, earphonesolutions !). The sound is so much better than my Q-Jays, which has always sounds clear and crisp but left me wanting as it always sounds a bit "thin". The W4 has a richer, more complete sound that covers...
