Where to get the faceplate for gen2?
Email Westone?Where to get the faceplate for gen2?
Yup, emailed the distro and shop. Waiting for reply.Email Westone?
Does this link work for you?Does anyone know if Adorama has that crazy sale going for these? I think they were selling for $399 at some point. When I go to their website its selling for $999 at the moment.
That totally works. What wizardry do you possess?Does this link work for you?
Awesome - thank you. Why didn't I think to look there?slickdeals.net gave it to me when i've searched for westone w60
Got the W60 r2 in recently and really liking them. Fit is amazing as always with Westone. They are a huge improvement over my old W4r. So much clearer in the mids, tighter and more powerful bass. Quite a bit more spacious sounding as well. I'm using an Ibasso Dx160 and Helm Bolt as sources using USB Audio player + Qobuz. I have a 4.4 balanced audio cable that I'm comparing with the silver 3.5 cable it comes with. No thoughts yet on balanced vs. single ended yet.
One thing to keep in mind when you are comparing 3.5mm to 4.4mm is too many different variables. The stock 3.5mm cables that comes with W60 v2 is silver plated copper. So, a true comparison will be against the same material cable with the same thickness wires, otherwise cable impedance might be slightly different. Also, I went back and forth many time with DX160 and 3.5mm vs 4.4mm, using the same balanced cable with and without adapter (the only variable in this case), and I always find 4.4mm in DX160 to have a wider soundstage and blacker background.
Did you ever get them? and what do you think of the W60s?Got a pair of unused gen 1 w60 for $160, waiting to receive it and compare with my favorite w4r
