Westone’s new 3 – The first true three-way earphone made for music lovers The Westone 3 is the first true universal fit three-way earphone designed for personal listening. Its balanced armature drivers and three-way crossover network deliver powerful lows, lush midrange, and crystal-clear...

Hey guys, Can anyone tell me if the Westone 3's are going to be a huge step up over the X10's? I love the X10's(probably my favorite of the iem's that i own). They have great clarity, build, and overall sound, but I've been itching to try out a pair of Westone's, and the 3's are currently at a...

Hi everyone,    The advice here is always great, so I thought I would ask since I'm about to jump to something new.   Currently what I own are   TriFi10s with Fiio cord and Comply tips Etys hf3 I think. Audio Tech M50s (the straight cord)   I've problems will all of them, the...

I've been searching for the perfect IEMs for a long time.  I currently own a pair of UE 900s that are superb but for the fact that they have a very subdued low end.  I am a bit of a bass head but I also love the clarity of the 900s.  I also recently tried out the Bowers & Wilkins C5s which, to...

I seek headphones/earbuds specifically for listening to binaural beats and relaxation programs while lying in bed, which will inevitably include lying on my side, head on a pillow. Would you be so kind as to suggest some models with this specific attribute? My budget is flexible and sound...

I decide to buy armature for my ipod 4g. I own Brainwavz M2, but sound is very deep and highs are not clear too.(I dont know how to describe it). Meanwhile, Senheiser IE 4 sounds better: cleaner and closer, but only at Huawei (smartphone). On ipod it sounds a bit better that M2. I chose...

Hey guys, so I've gotten a lot of use out of my Westome UM2s and am ready to upgrade. I'm looking for some IEMs that deliver deep bass that hits hard but doesnt take over the music (ya know, like the b word). I can sacrifice some mids, but trebles and highs would be ideal to keep (I listen to...

Hi,     Bought these earphones in August 2009 and they've never been outside - turns out that apparently the left cable is cut at a stress point (?) and they can't repair it.  How long do Westone 3's usually last?  I was expecting a lifetime a little longer than 4 years for 350$ earphones...

hello head-fiers..   My first post here. I have been trolling the forums as long as I can remember and owe my audio purchases to you folks. many thanks! I currently own the sony mdr ex 1000 and though a lot of opinions suggested how the iem may not be best suited for metal music, I...

I'm thinking about saying bye bye to my SE535's. I have read too many positive things about Westone. Only challenge left is W3 vs. W4. Music I listen to is metal and hard rock but I also listen to prog and bands that can really play (like Rush, Dream Theater, etc...) so I like some instrument...

I FINALLY registered and became a member after all these years of reading threads, reviews and articles on all kinds of things. From In Ear Monitors to Full Sized Headphones, portable amps to Desktop Amps and all sorts.   My place got robbed just a few weeks ago. So, a majority of my gadgets...

Hi,   So I'm by no means an expert audiophile or anything of the sort but am slowly becoming obsessed..   I live alone, and easily spend 12-14 hours a day listening to music using in ear headphones. I previously owned the Kilpsch S4's which I lost, and ended up buying some UE 900's from...

I know these IEM's have been compared a lot already, but I cant really find which are best for electronic music.  I love bass, but dont want it to recess mids and highs. 

After browsing around all day and looking at recommendations and impression threads of high quality IEMs I just can't make my mind up about which IEM would be the best for my musical tastes and with a price range of $200-$300 I am not looking on blowing my money on something I'll be disappointed...

Hello, Got a couple of questions i had a Westone 3 for couple of years. When i connected the Westone 3 to my phone the sound was better then all the earphones i ever had. But when i used 6.35mm Plug to 3.5mm Jack Adaptor en connected it to my receiver the sound was beyond amazing. So much...

Hi guys. Firstly, I'd like to sorry for my English, if you don't understand something, just ask, I'll try to explain in some other way.   I'm looking for worthy IEMs for my set-up (Fuze->fiio e17 through lineout) around 300$ in pricerange. The preferences are... Well, I want to be able to...

I lost my TF10s two days ago and after two days of intense crying I've decided to pick up the pieces and carry on.   As a college student, I'm going to have to starve for a month and a half to recuperate my losses, but I'd like suggestions on what to do now.   I bought my TF10s for...

Hi guys, as the title says, I'm trying to decide between these 2 for a new pair of IEMs.  Any opinions?   -edit- Dont know if this changes anything but, I have (and plan to keep) a pair of TF 10's. Also, W4s are an option as well. 

First off, I know there are already a bunch of threads like these but hopefully mine is a little more specific, so anyway... I've been lookin around online for a new pair of in-ear headphones recently since my most recent pair blew out on me. This would be my first higher end in-ear purchase...

hi, iv seen on ebay and other places selling westone 3's that they now provide a free amp along with the iem's themselves. i may sound really dumb here but what is the purpose of a headphone amp and is it worth getting?? 

Hello,   I am looking to get some in in ear headphones. I listen to mostly electronic music, more specifically house and dubstep. Price is not an issue. I have always purchased cheap earbuds and I am tired of them breaking. As such, durability is very important to me. Most of their use would...

What headphones/IEM's would you guys say are "Fun" to listen to?   So far I have owned:   Etymotic ER-4S   Spyder Realvoice   Superlux HD 668B   PX-100   Philips SHE3850   Of those, the only two with "fun" sound signatures were the PX-100 and the Philips SHE3850. The...

I'm looking for an IEM which is the closest thing to the Denon D5000s as possible, since I like that sound so much. Is there such a thing? These will be paired with a Cowon X9, if that helps with synergy...   It would also help if it's one that fits well and doesn't require much tweaking and...

hi, i used to be the proud owner of a pair of westone 3 IEM's. Unfortunately i lost them and now im looking to purchase a new pair. Initially i have chose to stick with westone 3 because during the time had them i thought they were amazing with there detailed sound n punchy bass. I listen to...

I already have the Shure SE215, and I really like the punchy bass on those. However, I want to upgrade, I recently bought the Grado GR10, love it for instrumental, but it lacks to much bass.. I really love the punchy bass and an overall good sound balance. which one do you recommend me??
