Westone W80 , what is next ? !!!!!!!!!!!!

[zidius]

i own a W80, and consider them to be my "endgame" IEM ( i normally pair them with Dragonfly Red)
i should be happy, well i am kinda super happpy!
but the inner darkside of me still looking for more

is there any UIEM out there that you guys think are significant upgrade to the W80 ?
comfort , size are major plus for me

There are plenty of higher end UIEM but most of them are extremely large and can be rather uncomfortable, especially if you have smallers ears like I do. Most of them are just universal models of already existing CIEM though. If you're still interested, some notable ones are Kaiser 10 Encore, Zeus XR or maybe something from JH?

i always want to try Encore and Katana but i don't think that they gonna be a significant upgrade from the W80, the JHs are huge

I think W80 is on the warm, relaxed side. You may not be able to find a "better" IEM but you can certainly find different sounding TOTLs. I recommend Earsonics S-EM9. Very fast, musical, technically superb IEM. It will give you a different flavour than W80.

have you try the popular models out there? shure 846, campfire, etc... I dont think you can get much better in term of ergonomics, I pick ergonomic over sounds any day of the week.
