Uber,
Unfortunately, not having a flange on the W60 is an omission in my opinion. When I removed the W60 a couple of times (to be honest, it was an unusual occurrence) the Star Tip remained in my ear. While I sympathize with Spyro and a flange damaging a tip that is in my opinion far better than having to take tweezers and extracting a tip from my ear canal.
I do agree that sound is far more important so I do not want to derail this thread.
Please keep in mind while I prefer the 846, I truly enjoyed the W60 and think it is a well tuned, polished sounding IEM.
And that is surprising and unfortunate that you've had the tip remain in your ear like that! If I ever have something like that happen to me, I will immediately post pictures and also contact Westone. I imagine it would take significant force to cause that to happen, so the suction of your seal must have been pretty strong.
