I will just add this: Don't get hung up on tiers. Two iems can be of the same tier, but doesn't mean they're equal in technical capability and sound quality. There are several top tier iems, for example, that I and and other experienced iem users like more, less or better than the other ones for a variety of reasons. I think we may all agree more on what is and isn't top tier than we would agree on which is better or has the best sound. With that said, yes, I would say that the Copper is a top tier iem just as the W4 is. Does that make the Copper equal to the W4 to my ears? No, not at all. Fun sound or not, if you want the best performing technical or best performing iem between the two there's no question in my mind that you should go with the W4.

The posts have really been helpful and have gone a long way to making my decision, but I still have a few more questions.
1) Are the coppers in the same tier as the westone 4s? I am mostly content with the way my IEMs sound, but I would really like a portable upgrade. I'm not sure the update to $400 Westones is worth it concidering I got my Coppers for $250.
2) What genres are best with the W4s? I am a big metal head, are great for metal and hard rock or do you recommend another IEM?
3) I have a iBasso T3 amp. What amp do you reccomend to pair with the W4s.
