Hey guys,   My Westone 3's recently started acting up.  The right ear will now cut in and out.  I need to fiddle with the wire close to earbud in order to get the sound to come back, but if I move around too much it will cut back out.   Any suggestions?  Does anyone here in the forums do...

hi guys.   was just wondering if this is normal or my w3 are faulty, i started recently using my w3 on high gain with my alo rx paired with a 3rd gen ipod touch and when i go above half the way up on the volume on the rx the w3 starts distorting and gets worse as i turn the volume higher so...

I've been reading lots of great reviews on the RSA protector, and I've noticed the really sleek Pico Slim recently. I have JH-16s on order in a few weeks and I really want to enjoy true audio heaven =) while maintaining the most portable setup!   However, I'm very curious about this.. how...

Basically I wanna upgrade from my C710s but I don't know what to upgrade to. I was very happy with how they sounded and would like something fairly similar, but obviously better. I'm looking at the JVC-Victor FX700s or Westone 3s, but I'm interested in Shure SE535s as well. The Shures appeal to...

Hello, I want to buy some high quality earphones, but sound isolation is also an important factor. So am finally left with two choices. The SE535 and Westone 3. Based on the specs of the SE535, the earphones have "noise attenuation" of 37 dB Westone 3 earphones provide "up to 25 dB of...

  Ok I have a few questions about Comply Foam...   First what type of Comply Foam does the Westone 3 IEM come with? Because It looks like you get three sizes, one is like short and standard width, ones long(er) and slim, and the other is the same long(er) size with the standard width...

Hey all. Just wondering if there were some place, perhaps even a wiki where it was listed with all the known DAP+IEM pairings, or DAP+AMP+IEM pairings that work well? I'm particularly interested in IE8, W3 if that helps    Maybe if there isn't anything like that it could be a potential idea...

I am moving up from the Panaosonic HJE900's and have narrowed it down to W3, MTPC.  I am looking for a good amount of bass like the CZS have, but also more detailed mids which is what the HJE900s lack, isolation would be good but not as important. I took a look at the SM3 but build quality has...

already owned a pair of EW9 and go to shop to audit Westone 3 because might want to get one high-end IEMs for commuting use. so I went ahead to listen to Westone 3 and was not impressed at all still find EW9 is much better in term of soundstaging, warm and very musical.   Am I crazy???  

Does anybody know anything about the W3LE IEMs? I have not found any definitive reviews about them. On their website, they claim that the components are hand picked, does that mean that they are just very balanced W3s? Or do they actually use different, higher end, components?

Thanks to the guys over at ZePhone Beijing (北京泽丰）for allowing me to repost these images here. They were trying to recable a W3 so they took some photo and posted them at erji.net. I didin't link all of the photos but those that are more interesting. You can check out the rest on the original...

Well folks. As many of you have read, I love both the Westone 3s and the Sennheiser IE8. Innitially I thought I prefered the IE8, but quickly realized I prefered the W3. Now I'm beginning to wonder if that's really the case as the IE8 keep proving to be an enjoyable listen over and over. I'm...

Hey guys,   I just got my pair of Westone 3's and to be honest i'm quite dissapointed.   Before these I have had my trusty RE0's for the past year, and well they are brilliant, even if the build quality isn't the best.   Anyway I love my RE0's, the clarity is just superb ! The only...

Hey everyone, I was just wondering what a good, relatively cheap IEM is for metal? Because of the way metal is suppose to sound, I would presume a harsh sounding IEM would be great, I like the harsh intense sound in my ears anyways, I don't like laid back sounding IEM's,   Now don't get me...

Been out of the audiophile scene for awhile, and I've been using my Cowon D2 in conjunction with a RSA Predator amp and Westone 3's. Love the combination, but I'm thinking of getting a new player that has actual line-out capabilities (to use with my RSA Predator), as well as SD/microSD card...

They were soo hyped and praised at first.   But did they really hit that hard? The problem with IEMs I guess, is there are so many of them.. So many to try, so many different profiles, so many similar setups. How to go about choosing the right one for you.   When I was looking for a...

Unfortunately I seem to have lost my UM3X on the bus this week which really sucks for me since they're only a year old and I loved them. Well, you know what they say: "Out with the old and in with the new!" It's time to get a new pair of IEMs and I want to know your opinions on what to get based...

I love my Westone 3's but I use them at the gym and I just can't seem to get a good tight seal.  I know that everybody's ears are different, but I am getting really frustrated.  I have tried triple flange, foamies, the little rubbery tips ... all of them just work loose after a few minutes of...

What are the Top 5 IEM's you have heard or want to hear? I'm thinking about getting a bit of a collection going and I want a few suggestions on what to choose.   Have heard:   Ortofon e-Q7 Ultimate Ears Triple.Fi 10   Want to hear:   Sennheiser IE8 Westone 3 Audio Technica...

I want to purchase In-Ear monitors but I am stuck on what to choose. My budget is under $350.00 and I listen to mostly Techno, Hip Hop, Rap, R&B etc. I love bass. I also perfer to get iPhone controls on the wire if possible. Here is what I am looking at: Monster Turbine Pro Copper or...

I'm new to the forums and am trying to soak up as much info as I can. However, after reading through the first 3 pages (and some searches), I couldn't find anything that addressed my issue, so I thought I'd give a new post a try. Some background I love bass. I listen to a lot of electro and...

hey all! which custom fitted in ear monitor are you using currently? 

Had to start it, just absolutely blown away by the awesomeness of these earphones! Using Shure E2C flex tips, just wow, cant explain the awesomeness! Leona Lewis is fantastic on these, great mix of highs, bass and mids in most tracks! edit: for anyone that reads this first post, i have...
