14 DAY TRIAL // There was a time when earphones didn't have even half of the benefits of headphones with earcups, but Westone once again shows that those times are long gone.
The Westone W-Series, from the powerful W40 to the entry-level W10, use the company balanced armature drivers, for higher sonic purity than on other in-ear audio output devices.
They also have the EPIC cable (easy to replace with custom cables), an Apple MFi cable with 3-button controls and integrated microphone.
Then, there's the True-Fit technology, which makes the earbuds fit well without causing discomfort over time.
Truly, the number of armature drivers is the only trait that sets apart the W-Series. W10 is made to be compact and ergonomic, W20 is more a professional tool, W30 is for artists, and W40 is “the premier 4-driver system with 3-way crossover that yields the finest audio available today from any earphone.”
In that order, the prices are of $200 / €200, $300 / €300, $400 / €400 and $500 / €500.
