Hi!
I have no side by side comparisons but from my time with the W60 ( a few weeks) and now with the W80 for a few weeks, I can honestly say that I think Westone finally nailed it (for me).
I really liked the W60 but I personally preferred the UmPro50 to them though. They were my current favorite from the Westone universal range.
The W80 has now really stepped up the game for me. Bit more oomph in the bottom end and definitively a sparklier, enhanced treble that still causes no fatigue. So, to my ears, Westone has done it and removed my personal biggest criticism (treble energy/sparkle) without sacrificing their core values (natural sound quality, fatigue-less, comfortable, able to listen for hours on them).
While I liked the W60 and UmPro50 - I never bought them. Now, with the W80 - I am very seriously thinking about it. I find them brilliant and certainly worthy of the flagship title. I currently like them more than my Noble K10....
Cheers!
