would you guys say that the W2 is good for classical, rock, electronic, and pop music?

I can't really point to any single aspect about it that is even average or below. Bass, midrange, treble, soundstage...all are "very good". The only thing the W3 has on it is a little bit more extension on treble and bass but many would consider W3 a bit more unbalanced because of this. Yes, I still prefer W3 by a small margin but if I were going away for a month somewhere traveling, I would be completely content with the W2's. |

Probably the most comfortable, detailed and clear IEM's i've owned. Best £180 i've spent. Listening to them as i type with Scratch Perverts, and although the bass isn't quite as deep as i would like the sheer clarity of them more than makes up for it and makes them so easy to listen to. |
