thx for the advice
but if u had only those 2 options...what would u choose?!
Quote:

Neither of those are good prices at all. For around $325 you can get the SM3, which some members believe is the best universal IEM that can be purchased before one must turn to customs. The SM3 is definitely ahead of the W3 and TF10.

At those prices I would save my money and not buy new IEMs. I would buy neither of the two unless you get them at $150-200. But, of the two, it would probably have to be the TF10 personally, because it suits my preferences more. I think you'd prefer the W3.
But I would really encourage you to save your money at those prices, you can do way way better for your money. You're basically paying the exorbitant retail prices.

Westone 3............

 

[Spyro]

W3 by a longshot !!  Not even close.

tough decision ,both w3 and tf10 are reat sounding iem's,but i think i would go for the w3 ,personally i am beging to think i like it as much as the SM3 for rock music, although the SM3 is the better all rounder for most types of music

electric guitar sound nice on the tf10 although its a lighter sound  than the electric guitar on the w3 ,which has more bite and to me sounds more realistic , i do own a epiphone gibson electric guitar myself and the w3 sounds much closer to its sound than the tf10 

 

[stoneshadow]

thx)...so the w3 is worth the extra 70$ over TF10

 

[lucozade]

westone 3 also have much better cable and they sit flush in the ear instead  of sticking out of your ears like horns and they come with a lot more tips than TF10

 

[stoneshadow]

)))...yes, i'll look funy with the tf10 sticking out
one last thing...i'll be using a sansa clip +...without an amp...and i like to listen at really loud volumes...will westone be able to sound loud without an amp?!
...''i also have a fiio e3''...or i'll have to use the fiio )

 

[lucozade]

i don't have a sansa only ipod classics but the w3 is one of the maybe even the loudest iem i have and can reach volumes you can not listen to even without an amp 

 

[goodvibes]

Sansa fuze/clips tend to have a slightly v shaped sig so another v shaped sig as strong as the TF10 is probably not the best here. I know you said only these 2 but a se535 or SM3 may be a better match with a clip.
