well I may as well stop posting altogether then; since 99% of any posts made on here are subjective view on a product. I have read the rules and I took it to mean that I cant make a subjective review or comment pertaining to my own or my competitors products. I make LODs, IC,'s mod ipods etc. I have asked for a custom tag under my avatar to show what my company is; the fact my sig is full of DIY cables isnt enough it seems. I will have to clear this up with jude; I actually did talk with him about that very rule you speak of, I will have to check my communications with him as i'm sure I had asked about that, because it stuck out to me. the MOT rules as posted, were copied from another template, from another forum and some of them dont apply very well to this forum; all the same I will follow up. If I cant comment on anything, regardless of the fact that it has nothing at all to do with what I do, then that creates a large problem. I'm in the same boat as you guys, trying to find my own audio nirvana, if it means that I cant participate, then that is a rule that should be reviewed IMO; as without the ability to discuss the pros and cons of the gear I have and want to buy, then that puts me at a distict disadvantage

It is slightly blurry but present whereas W3 it is a little siblant and clearly recessed. It is neither one's strong point but at worst I would call it a wash (even). This is personal preference but I MUCH prefer fit and comfort of TFPro. Much easier and faster to take in and out and only tip portion is touching your ear canal versus entire fairly large housing of W3 being mashed up against your entire ear canal.

I have no affiliation with any of these companies that are being discussed here; thats why i havent posted in the cables forum since I became an MOT. I am just a consumer when it comes to headphones etc. in fact if anything, if I recommended TF10 you would have been closer to the mark, as its the only one I can make a cable for. your experience with W3 is the oposite to mine and you are the FIRST person I have heard to prefer the fit/comfort of the TF10 over W3; I find that utterly confusing, but each to their own I guess. I felt like frankenstine with them on; even with the flip flop mod, impossible to lie down, wear a beanie or many hats and they are HUGE/ugly. the stock cable is a POC; stiff, thick and mine failed after having them for only 2 weeks, so I had to send them back for RMA exchange for SE530, which I preferred in every aspect. the sound with UM56 on W3 is very good IMO and not at all V-shaped; there is still a tendency towards the midbass, but nothing like the horrid grating highs I found the TF10 to have and the mids on TF10 were as you say; blurry and that is unacceptable to me, since the mids are where its at IMO and the reason why I still prefer the SE530 with some music. I also didnt have much luck EQing the TF10, the W3 on the other hand responds very well
rep for westone OMG I wish; then I could have a set of ES3X that i'm saving for/lusting after, for free.
