First I would like to say that my comments in this post is that of my own findings & is not intended to be looked at as promoting a product for profitability. I have mentioned before that I have only met the guys from Westone in one of the Colorado meets & seen Doug once in a National meet.
They don't promote my product either, so I am only posting this short review as a head-fier who is thrilled with a product he or she owns.
Please do not turn around and make this an ugly thread just because I had a word or two to say about a product.
Now I do have many custom IEM's from both the Westone & the Ultimate Ears, ES2. UE10 & UE11, Which I enjoy every minute of listening through these expensive monitors. They are the cream of the crop. But to have a universal IEM that can prove to be almost as good & so enjoyable with fraction of cost of the custom, would be hard to believe. Name it I got it, talking about Universal IEM’s, and I was happy to find out how they all sound, some great sounding & some ok, but to find one that can go beyond the universal IEM's limits in sound reproduction & sound so good was hard to imagine.
I believe in burn-in, please don't jump on me on that one, I have had my Westone III for about 10 days now. I never wanted to comment on the sound of any audio components unless I have easy 100-200 hours of burn-in on it. So the time to listen to these little monitors was on hand as I took some time away from my busy schedule to relax & listen to these tiny little phones. My source was Meridian 508, 24 bit CD player.
I reached for Bella SunOS CD that has plenty of the shaking sub bass & great recording electronic instruments. I was truly left with one thought on my mind, what the heck I am listening to?
These tiny monitors presented the sub bass in tight clear defined control that only comes from monitors that are three times more expensive. The mid was smooth & had great presence; the highs were extended & sweet. Listening to Dian Krell, a Girl in the other room was like you are listening to new song for the first time. Carla Bruni's CD, puts you in a trance as you can hear her sexy voice coming out so delecate & smooth with her breath touching your senses, I can swear that they have used Newman mike to record her voice in the recording Studio As I used to own one in mine & was very familiar with the tonal characteristics of this microphone.
In summery I would like to say, if you dream of that expensive custom IEM but can not afford one, you won't miss much once you own one of the Westone IIIs.
I have no affiliation with Westone neither do I look for freebies, I thank God that I can afford any thing my heart desires by paying for it.
