Bump

Hey guys I have a pair of Westone 3s that I recently dug out of my closet. They have been broken for the past 2 years, the wiring is pretty much destroyed and the the shell housing is cracked on both sides. Essentially what I am left with are the drivers which still seem to work just fine. I...

Has anyone had any experiences dealing with Heir Audio for warranty? I have a pair of 2nd hand 4.ai that I purchased from ebay and one of the channels started getting worse until it completely cut out today. According to their website, their 2 year warranty is nontransferable...

Hey guys I'm looking to get my Westone 3s reshelled since the cables have cracked almost everywhere possible and the casing has been superglued to no end. Can someone give me a general outline of how the process goes and recommend me some cheaper reshelling services that have a quick turnaround...

I recently tried the apple earpods and they're not bad. They're a bit bass boosted and they fall out a lot but nothing else to complain about.

I think the W3 best fits your descriptions. It has the bass, soundstage, and sparkle that you're looking for in electronic music. The SM3 has slightly recessed highs and the soundstage sounds a bit unrealistic. I have not heard the others but I would assume from reviews that the EX1000 is the...

So the gold edition just a better tuned version of the W3? That sounds pretty awesome! The W3s are one of the best universal IEM I've heard (out of IE7, TF10, UM3X, SE535, SM3, MTPG). It has a good U shape that isn't too out of control  for me, and switching between these and my desktop setup...

Quote:   Ah thanks for your response. Do you have any other recommendations for non-custom alternatives to the Westone 3 (preferably with good isolation)?

Hey joker, I'm coming from a really old pair of Westone 3s and I'm looking to get something new before the cables break. I'm currently debating between the Earsonic SM2 v2 and the Rockit Sound R-50. I know these have pretty different sound signature but I was wondering if I'm coming from the W3...

W3 will better suit you. Going from a bass heavy IEM to something like the UM3X will give you a hard time adjusting

He-500 and it's not even close!

HE-500 definitely sounds way more refined than the LCD-2s, especially for classical music and live performances. About the only time when I pick up to listen to my LCD-2s is when I find a rock song too bright on the HE-500s. Aside from the whole cable fiasco, I haven't really had much to...

Quote: Same thing happened to mine a while back. The connector really makes it a b to solder and maintain the proper connection.
