My Westone 4 don't have a treble spike or harsh aggressive highs and they are certainly not fatiguing at all, in fact the highs are very detailed but yet smooth as silk. I really hate phones with spiky highs, like my HD800 or the ATH-CK1000 Pro and SE 535 special edition that I've heard, they are painful to listen to IMO.
My UM3x have got a very loose connection too, in fact I nearly lost the left driver a few times. I bent the metal connector pins outward recently and it doesn't come off so easily now. My previous 2 pairs had no such problem, only this third pair has.

Concerning the W4s, I can see how people can see the highs as being harsher/aggressive (they had a slight aggression to them when I reviewed them, I currently don't have them on me though since I sent them back to Westone as they wanted to see the connector, I had a 4R with a loose connector).

I also had a loose connection with a previous pair of W4Rs which i returned to the dealer and got another pair. Im curious as to how Westone is covering this problem seeing how it may be a common one. Let me know what they do for ya!
