I have owned the Westone W4's for about five years now and have loved them. I like the fit and sound quality. I bought the Shure SE215's when they first came out, only to try their fit. Obviously they were a step backward from the W4's in sound quality.
Bought them mostly for mountain biking. Ended up giving them to my GF. I struggled to insert them in my ears and hated the way the stiff cable felt around my ears. The wire would rotate and I just had difficultly inserting them.
I purchased the W60's this week and using them now. At this time I'm loving them. They will need a few weeks for burn in. I really find no issue with the build quality, and my W4's are still going strong. I really never abused them for that fact. So maybe that's why they have held up so well. They probably have a 1000 hours of use on them.
I probably need to buy the SE846's and compare them myself, then sell the ones I don't like. I just hope they are not as difficult to insert as the other ones I had, and fit in my ears well. I use the Comply foam tips and have had positive results from them. I would use the same with the Shure's I do like the idea of being able to customize the sound signature on the Shure's
I just received my OPPO PM-3's a few hours ago, so I'm listening to them as well. This could the best portable closed headphone I have heard.
