Hello Head-Fi community.
Following up on the 4 regional MACH launch tours (2 in US, 1 in EU and 1 in Asia & AUS), Westone Audio decided to have 1 additional regional tour. This time, to augment the MACH 10 & 20 tour in Asia and AUS - we'll have a flagship Asia tour of the MACH 70 & 80.

The rules are similar:

• Each tour member gets to audition the IEMs for 1 week. If you might be too busy and cannot commit to finish within 1 week – please do not sign up!
• Westone Audio expects the tour members to post impressions / review on Head-Fi within 2 weeks of receiving the IEMs. See note below on that one.
• Each person is responsible to ship (with tracking) the IEMs to the next person in line. That means you'll have to cover the shipping cost, which could be international.
• Tour members will need to provide (using PM) their full name, shipping address, email and phone number (for shipping purposes). Those will not be published, but each member will receive the info of the 1 person they need to ship the IEMs next.
• Westone Audio is asking for your honest feedback. Period.

Note on Westone's expectation of timely reviews:
I have been spending a lot of time and energy chasing some people to fulfil their own commitment to write impressions / reviews. Saying that "it is not cool" is a huge understatement. Some of the lessons learned from this bad experience (for me)...
Biggest change would be: I will not include people who never wrote reviews before. That sucks, I know, but that is the result of me taking the chance with 1 person in the EU tour, and to this day he won't write any review / impressions. I have been chasing him for more than 2 months!!! Shameful behavior. Sucks that 1 bad apple spoils it for many others...
To clarify: other reviewers (in EU and other regions) needed extra time, and have been communicating with me.

To apply for the tour please post the following details:

• Your location (City & Country). No full address for now!
• Source gear you intend to use for the review. That includes: DAPs, DAC/Amp dongles, desktop DACs / Amps, etc.
• Link to your other reviews. As mentioned above - this will be a requirement!!
• List of other Westone IEMs you reviewed, own or used to own. Useful for comparisons to the MACH 70 & 80.

There is no official closing time for registration. We are trying to get this tour started ASAP.

Edit: I just realised that it is Asia tour without mentioning Australia. It’s fine you can’t include me in the tour. No worries!

The tour is actually starting VERY soon, but a couple of slots are still available!!
Don't miss your opportunity to audition and compare the 2 top IEMs in the MACH series.
