Most welcome.
I should add that I did a specific A/B test between my ES3X and W2 today using music from Queen, Olivia Ong (jazz/easy listening), 90's pop (I am from that era) and when I switched back and forth from W2 to ES3X I felt that what the W2 was clearly cast from the same mold, only smaller slightly in a way that I noticed only because I was going back and forth. The ES3X is still an altogether more complete experience to me. The W2 is not far behind. I do not want to give percentage figures like 90% of ES3X but I will say I clearly felt that I was not being shortchanged by the W2 and, as a result, am so grateful for the product from Westone that I registered just to post about the W2.
I think I am fairly experienced with IEM's and headphones having a Grado RS1, ESW10(ltd), MS1, c-jays, q-jays, ER4P, TF10, PK1's. OK1's,OK3's, IE8, ES3X, a few v-moda's and senn's for exercise, H2O Audio Interval for swimming. Tomahawk and MF amps (my comments relate to the W2's amp'ed and unamp'ed and the same for the ES3X. They both really do not need an amp).
The W2's are the best buy in my collection.
I work in the real estate industry in Singapore not Westone.
