Westone 4
« on: December 15, 2010, 12:06:26 PM »
something to look forward to next year:



Quote from: official Press Release from Westone
"Westone Music Products is pleased to announce the release of the Westone 4 True-Fit Earphone. The new pinnacle of the Westone Series, the 4 features four balanced armature drivers with a three-way crossover network for breathtaking clarity and realism. The Westone 4 is the clear choice for the serious audiophile and music enthusiast.

The Westone 4 will be revealed at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on January 6, with product shipping early in the first quarter of 2011."

The way our bro  posts is akin to a caffein overloaded Energizer Bunny on steroids who suddenly decided to pop speed pills while downing a dozen bottles of Red Bull! ;D

And so the driver wars once again commence!


I think I know another brand that's cooking up their own 4-driver universal as well  ;)

Finally, a worthy upgrade from the TF10s! :) [Buti na lang hindi ko inubos yung bonus namin this year for my other hobby. Hahaha :D]

Nitpick: this needed a replaceable cable. But I guess they're reserving that capability for their UMxx line.

Black and orange, nice. I'm expecting them to finally come to a Earsonics SM3-ish balance - the W2 was too polite, while the W3 was too brash.

Let's just hope W4s wouldn't be delayed by 4 years. LOL

Seems the W4s aren't an upgrade from the TF10s at all, at least based from what I read over @ Head-fi. This IEM, according to the reviews and impressions, will appeal to those who place a high premium on a flat SQ...which I think isn't consistent to what I've been hearing from the TF10s.  :-\

I hope someone here @ Headphiles will take the plunge for these IEMs. Haha :D
