True. As an upgrade from unamped cheaper iem's the unamped W4 will perform great. You could always save up to an amp later if you feel like going further.
God I'm sick of these... this is the 2nd time this **** happened to me this ear.. guys i guess u ppl knw that i had a issue with my right driver unit 3-4 months back? and i gt a new pair frm westone.. but i had to pay 250$ and get it.. they worked okay.. but since then i had this issue again here and their but i didn't care... yesterday i tried the ISO-mod on my IE80's.. after listening to it for a while i cant stand but i can feel that the details in my w4's and very much panned toward the left driver unit... but slightly.. specially vocals and bass. can any one who own the both or a person who had this kinda experience : will be able to help me/?? r8 nw I'm trying to admit that this is a isolation issue.. but i tried 3 sizes of shure olive and yellow shure tips + sm silicon tips. still i find left has pretty much power than the ri8..
or is it just different presentations of iem's...???

It's probably the fit, I had the sound pan to the left before, until I spaced the tips so that the right tips is further away from the base than the left. Despite the W4Rs boasting its +/-1db driver match, its most likely not a driver imbalance issue. Some people have differently shaped canals on either ear, the W4s have a pretty shallow fit, which can lead to these issues.

Yeah it's exactly the same, both in shape and sound. But the 4R is more annoying because of the memory cable but I prefer it more because it doesn't come off

I belive 20-25%(depending of the current cupon code, just google it) off the retail price (499$), over at earphonesoulutions.com is as good as it gets. Then you got the extended 2 years warranty as well if you decide to register at westone.
I am about to pick up a pair of w4 for $250.00 (not the 4r) at a local shop on sale (new) With tax itll be 275.
Is there something i should know? Is there a price drop coming due to the 4r being out or is this as insane of a deal as i think it is?
Nope The 275 total (if all good) is a fantastic Price, and you could easily re-sell em if you don't like. Very Very nice phone have fun. I would not buy the 4R as comments on comfort are enough for me.. Westones are extremely comfortable in general, and The RC is a great idea but not good at execution
