Good to know I'm not the only one, my order has been pending/expecting shipment since the 23rd...

25% off was pretty epic (-$126), I snagged the 4R on Thursday... Now, I'm curious when they'll ship. Westone's homepage said they'd be ready Nov 25...

Anone has added 6 drivers or more to a westone 4 before and change the cables? Lol

FWIW, I ordered a Westone 4 + Shure Olive tips yesterday and they already shipped (well I got a USPS tracking link).

Why don't these come standard with removable cables? Even my $100 super.fi 5 pro had them back in the day.
 
And I'm looking at UM3x removable cable and even charge a premium for it?!

 

[steyrshrek]

I hazard to guess that if the others offered both fixed and removable cables they would also charge for them. There are 4 connectors involved and extra work, so I'm not surprised they charge more. As for if it is worth it that's a personal judgment.

I'm guessing they had w4 is stock in their warehouse... I wonder if they'll ship the w4r directly from westone... meh, I should prob just send their cs an e-mail if I don't hear anything by Monday
 
edit: I went digging through my drawer and I still have a few olives. So is the Westone stem the same diameter as Shure?

I think officially they are. Earphonesolutions recommends using shure tips, etc. That being said, I had a very hard time fitting my Shure olives on the W2/W4 stocks. I personally wonder if the stock isn't just a smidgeon thicker than the Shure stock. I tried the freezer trick last time and eventually had to cut them off.

The left driver on my beloved W4's went kaput today after just 8 months of mostly weekend use. Hopefully Westone warranty will take care of it.

One of them or all 4? I'm sure they will remedy it.

I don't use the Shure Olives on my Westone 4's and UM3X's anymore because it freaks me out how difficult they are to remove.
 
With the 4's, I have started using the Comply Ts-100 spherical tips.  I feel like it brings out a bit more bass, and my only gripe with the 4's is that they are a tad bass-lite for my particular listening preferences.  And they give me a great seal.  Has anyone else tried these spherical Comply tips?

I had this happen to me with my right side a month back. Some of the drivers went out for no reason. Just call them up, fill out the RMA info email you, mail your broken W4 in, and in 1.5 weeks, you'll have your brand new replacement pair.
 
GREAT service.

How is the bass of the W4 if the equalizer is set to boost it up a little ? Will it equal the SE535's bass ?

One of them or all 4? I'm sure they will remedy it.
 


 
 

I assume all 4 since there's no sound from the left side at all.

Can anyone tell me if the bass of the Westone 4 can equal the bass of the SE535 ? Thank you!
