How’s your experience so far with the Westone W80-V3? Was the Timeless AE any better?Blessing 3's came today. I do NOT like them. Uncomfortable. Sibilant. Not very pleasing to listen to. High notes were very fatiguing while listening to a hi-res SACD rip of "Chameleon". I'm not sure if I'm supposed to like earphones that apparently graph well to the Harman curve. I could hear details pretty well (eg cymbals decayed nicely) but they didn't feel good, is what I feel. They may or may not graph well, but the listening experience felt Chinese.
Returning the Moondrop Blessing 3
Will see how the Timeless AE's are when they arrive.
Moondrop Blessing 3 has a FR of 10Hz-30kHz
Westone W80 has a FR of 5Hz-22kHz
Definitely felt like the W80 had better low end and that I could maybe hear more from the high-end in the Moondrop Blessing 3.
The Timeless AE has an FR of 5 Hz – 40 kHz. Shall report back when they arrive next week. Likely to return the W80's as well since the Blessing 3 made me appreciate the seemingly greater detail
Thanks, will give this Bondic UV glue a try, seems better than a glob of super glue ending up in the wrong spot and dealing with that. Got a new W80 on sale and so will use the broken iem as a project, less pressure. Nearly need a microscope to as the bits are so small though... good idea, thanks.Try Bondic UV glue - https://www.amazon.com/Bondic-Activated-Waterproof-Resistant-Adhesive/dp/B018IBEHQU/
I've actually used it to create a new nozzle stem on a JH IEM. Superglue might also do in a pinch, just be sure to use one that is safe on plastics.
That price is probably around where it actually should be IMHO. I'm tempted by the MACH 70 at £648 too. I already have the 80.Bought the Mach 80 today here in the UK, just under half price at £748 and a further code brought it down to £711.
Used to really like my UM3x and W4 but that's going back a few years ago now. I don't think I ever found a set of universals that fit so well as my old Westones, that's why I'm giving the Mach 80 a try out at this price.
What’s your take on the W80? Worth it?That price is probably around where it actually should be IMHO. I'm tempted by the MACH 70 at £648 too. I already have the 80.
I've seen posts here that it can be obtained for £$Euro 399 now, for that price yes, its a great compact IEM that I can wear for hours as if its not even there.What’s your take on the W80? Worth it?
They don't have any bass though )Really enjoying the Mach 80, neutral flat sound that is excellent for guitar driven music.
timeless ae never got delivered because amazon canceled the order on their endHow’s your experience so far with the Westone W80-V3? Was the Timeless AE any better?
I recently got the AKG N5005, good all rounder but I might return them and try out the W80-V3 instead.
They do if you own a Mojo 2.They don't have any bass though )
In the brief time i had them, i was constantly torn between "this music actually sounds pretty good" and "this is terrible, 100$ iems can do better"
