Well said HeadphoneAddict !  maybe they will be more like an HD600 and an HD800 then.. even more interesting. Either way, I have enjoyed the W3 so much and respect Westone for taking the time to produce quality that I will most likely be in line early for the W4.

i am guessing it will be similar to the Senn HD 600 and then the HD650. I own both and love both, just different enough to be intoxicating. The HD600 is ruler flat IMO and the HD650 has the bottom fun factor, I am hoping that the W3 and W4 are simliar. Some folks already think the W3 is too...

Interesting to see people not wanting to buy a W4 because of cable failure.. non detachable cables etc.. I have punished my W3s now for over 2 years, 4 hours a day and not a single hairline crack.. My Shure 500s went through TWO cable sets, My Klipsch 1, my Etys 1... but the Westones.. nothing...

I have several MBPs running SL. My unibodies all ran super hot after SL with either GPU, the new 10.6.1 seems to have fixed that. The non-uni body MBPs never had the issue.

without the analyzer you have no way to accurately measure the pink noise to even make the adjustments. There would need to be some kind of a Mic to capture that output. I am not familiar with your application, but maybe someone else is. The formal application for pink noise is what I was...

pink noise is used in conjunction with a spectrum analyzer to adjust sound reinforcement venues. There are other applications, but this is probably the most popular and the one your referring to . I use it for adjusting the acoustics of a concert area as the people come in and fill it up...

find a used RSA Tomahawk up here, it pairs very well with the W3s and the battery life is amazing.

from a pure musical and quality point of view, I would have to vote for OFF THE WALL I think it represented the talent Michael had, with quality engineering, Quincys brilliance and he had not hit the top yet and so the commercialization of his skills were not yet exploited on this album...

It never created one on my Unibody 15. I guess it didn't find anything. Overall it does seem snappier, but I will tell you my MBP does run MUCH hotter than it ever did before. All the settings are the same and I use the Better Battery Life setting...

I have used my W3s now for about 3 hours a day, 3 days a week and some on weekends, since they first shipped, straight out of an IPhone 3g. I play all kinds of genres through them in addition to the evening news and some talk radio. I see questions up here about the durability. I got these...

treble boost for my aging ears and my Westone 3's fits the bill perfectly on the train. I tend to turn it off when I am not on the train or in a area with a lot of ambient noise going on.

California is all over the map on weather.. No Cal and So Cal usually run about 10 degrees apart with So Cal running warmer. Inland it can get really hot in either the north during the spring and summer. Cool and Consistent is the norm for the coastlines again with No Cal usually cooler but...

Not a Christian Rock band by their own admission, but Christian background and with a baptist father growing up.. they cant help but "Shine" Collective Soul. If you have not experienced HOME their DVD or CD its a concert worth watching. They partner up with the Atlanta Youth Orchestra for a...

I am finding some nice bands out of this thread. For those of you that want to drop back to the 80s and you like the slow driving metal beat of an Ozzie or Sabbath.. (I know sacrilegious) I have one for you The Seventh Power, with an album by the same name, start off with the first track...

Pillar "Where do we go from here" is one of my favorite albums for rock of any genre. Skillet "Comatose" Kutless , its all good. Rebelution "Courage to Grow" is one I listen to a lot these days, not as driving rock centric as the above bands, but more reggae with a good solid message...

Here in So Cal, one of the best shops for hot sauce, online or inline is Welcome to HotHotHot! The Internet's Coolest Shop Since 1994!

this may be what your looking for, I use it with ITunes on both Windows (Vista 64) and Mac OSX. TuneUp - Your Music Collection's New Best Friend superb product! connects to ITunes (so that is a given to use) and then will scrub your music for album artwork and all the metadata that it can...

clearly you have a unit that needs Apples attention. Just take it back to the nearest Apple store and compare it to another one. My space bar fits both of my thumbs perfectly, the lid closes with the percision of a swiss watch and the touchpad is completely silent. My MBP 15 is the finest...

That is an excellent point, Quality of Life is key.. I find that reading is far more beneficial than just cruising the Net which I have been more prone to do as of late. I am not much of a TV or Movie person, outside of The Discovery Channel etc. Listening to nice audio rigs is also high quality...

one more caveat... to be honest on both sides. I just finished a book by Tony Dungy of the Baltimore Colts (Quiet Strength) excellent book if you like inspirational stuff with a Christian center. I was telling some people at work what a great read it was.. and then it dawned on me when they...

Bought one a couple of weeks ago, my wife took one look and 30 seconds later I was ordering my 2nd! so much for the first one! Overall, I am not a big reader, but take the train to work and as such need to occupy 3 hours a day.. and I do listen to my various audio rigs, but wanted to see how...

I used the 530s with the black olives to get the best isolation I use the W3s with the med flex tips Over all, for me, the W3s just have better isolation, maybe its how they sit in the ear? It may not be an answer you can get without trying both. I am also guessing its subjective to...
