Yes, Westone's foam. I used to have to replace the Comply foams I used with my UE IEM every 3-4 weeks. Not a fan of the star tips, but that's just a personal preference, I don't care for non-foam (like silicone) tips in general.

After nearly a year with my Westone 4r, I am a very happy camper. I have used these almost every day, mostly when riding the subway and walking around town, with the headphones in and out of my pockets multiple times every day.   The cable is as good as the day I bought it. No fraying or signs...

The new W40 is going to use the mmx connector? Good Lord. I guess Westone management walked through the customer service floor, noticed everybody was smiling and happy, and decided to change that.   After 9 torturous months with the UE900's mmx connectors... Never. Ever. Ever. Again.   Since...

  Well the vendor replied and confirmed it is the actual Westone tips. They seem to be a real A/V shop out of California.

  Two hours of Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Mozart, Beethoven, Iron Maiden, The Incredible Bongo Band, Tori Amos and Dido... I am in love with my music and my iPod again.   With the smallest True-Fit tips, the blues and greens, I forget they are in my ears. You can tell they really...

  Since my $500 Shure SE500 experience, I've sworn to never purchase any expensive IEMs unless they have removable cables. Yes, Shure, I lost the receipt, and the authorized dealer went bankrupt, but of course I'll follow your recommendation and go ahead and spend another $500 to get a new pair...

Hello, I'm not sure if this is an appropriate question in the forums, so kindly forgive me in advance if this is not the case.   I've found a vendor online who sells the Westone True-Fit tips in bulk, 200 for $119.98. I don't want to post a link in case this is not permitted. They seem to be a...

  I just got these, great price and superb headphones.

New Westone 4R convert here. I just received them, and I suspect I soon will be head over heels in love with them.   They fit well. They are easy to place in the ears. They sound amazing to my discerning but non-audiophile ears. They feel and look solid. And the foam eartips are better than...

I just received my new Westone 4Rs.   1. They seem more solid than the UE900s. 2. They fit better than the UE 900s. I was able to twist the memory plastic, and it maintained the shape. This was one of the most annoying things about the UE900s. I was constantly fiddling with the memory...

  Fact is, basic testing would have caught these issues. Ten beta testers in a room for one weekend with 20 sets of headsets, they would have caught this glaring issue with the connectors and addressed it before releasing to production.

I remember all the fanboys pouncing on me when I dared to criticize the build quality of these IEMs. I'm on my third pair, and they just fell apart the other day. Should the casing of a $400 pair of IEMs come apart after 4 months? My assortment of crappy $20-$60 sport headphones, which I have...

My original UE900s were from the bad batch, RMA'd them for a new pair, which seemed fine in the beginning. I have noticed that after a few days one or both earpieces begin to experience the same issue, with the sound cutting in and out. Removing and reinserting the cable seems to resolve it, but...

Bought these from an Apple store in late December. PID on the cables says 1243. I have experienced the right driver audio crackle/cutoff issue since day one, but it was intermittent and rare enough that I did nothing about it at first. It has worsened in the last week or so, so I just got them...

I bought my TF10s for $150 (with the vi cable), a good price IMO.   My issue with expensive IEMs is not the price/performance of the IEMs, but the cables. I have had my TF10s for about a year, and am well into my 3rd cable.   This is also why I will never consider IEMs without removable...

Devil's advocate here... My Shure SE530s are awaiting a recabling project because I can't find my receipt... My SA6s are waiting for replacement cables, as are the SA6s of dozens or hundreds of other owners... Meanwhile, my cheap-as-crap Sony behind-the-head headphones that I have been...
