Review of Westone 4 earphones

Westone not exactly a household name, even if the headphones in the universe. But what the company is not recognized, it is more than offset by the quality. If you recall, we had to listen ES5 custom ear monitor earlier this year, and even though they cost a whopping 950, managed to melt our brains, and it completely ruined in the process. Fortunately, there is a budget option for Weston 4 Of course, up to 50 percent off the land they still right around $ 449, but many audiophiles claim that this is a small price to pay when you consider the quad-driver , three-way crossover insanely solid and set of headphones. There is no doubt that these guys are intended for professionals in the group and if you are seriously interested in strengthening your phone to listen to the game, you have yourself a look at everything again. E 'after the break, it is customary.

In reality, there is little competition at this level in the headphones and monitor the world in the ear, Westone but has managed to build our little niche, 4s offer four balanced armature drivers and a custom set of points that do a better job noise canceling some active models we have heard. In cracking open the box, which immediately noticed how light these guys are. There is a classic braided cable (which work better than decent to avoid clutter) and modules for the drivers than average. Sure, Weston expects you to use them much as a monitor in his ear, to the extent that the size of the loops in his ear. Yes, it requires some precision when inserted, but as seen later, it's worth doing well. The company also includes a hard case with a zip-line volume control and a bag full of various bits (not to mention a cleaner edge.)

Outside of that, you can not find the bells significant and / or whistle. Not in line with the iPod at a distance, without a microphone and a cord. It 'clear that the crowd focused on energy shares to vote, and you'll understand once you try them. Left / right cable is divided into approximately 11 cm from the tip of the ear, which is only enough space to wrap the top of each ear and placed his ear. We would have liked a little 'relaxation in here? Sure, but it's not like wearing the "gems in this way is difficult at all.

Importantly, these vessels with a small set of gray foam tips, which are the best after it crashed shortly before insertion - I earplugs, and assimilate the concept. Moreover, as earplugs, it takes about 30 seconds for the foam to recover once in your ear and create an airtight seal, but once the seal is formed, you're in luck. Honestly, we had a very difficult to hear any external noise once it fills our ears, and if you buy a set of headphones ideal for your lifestyle of jet-set, we believe that these aircraft would be perfect on the plane .

The real question however is: Is $ 449 a pair of 'buds manage the music? In a word: magical. In a trifecta of them: a crazy, all right. There really is no reason to complicate things here - regardless of gender, 4s Westone able to carry out accurately and instantly became our favorite headphones in the subdomain of $ 500. Are seven tips to the company including, without adjustment of our channels and the foam stock tips. Certainly, those who have ears larger or smaller can see the different sizes and shapes (including a rubber flange triple), but the seal and the sound came from the foam mattresses.

If you press to describe the sound, we'll look at 350 million Klipsch X10i in many ways, but without the iconic Klipsch bulge in the middle / high end. Frankly, we were totally overwhelmed by what level they felt. We do not feel an iota of distortion, and we do not feel they had been leveled at the factory to provide a certain range of frequencies. The music sounds exactly as the manufacturer intended, and we could hear the layers of jam from limousines to Lupe Fiasco Mumford & Sons that we missed with our bottom line. Overall, we believe that the helmet completely flat until the end lacks a little low in the department but we are absolutely delighted to announce that it is just different with 4s. Midrange, highs and lows were all-powerful, crystal clear and easy to spot. If you have any doubts about noticeability of these four drivers who are not.

We also pushed the volume to almost uncomfortable levels, and never heard a peep distortions. Of course, this seal crazy, you can keep the volume at a reasonable level, but those who have to destroy one of the most important ways you will definitely enjoy the ride. We also found these guys is very comfortable even in long sessions - three hours straight of listening to ear left no worse than they were before.

Frankly, it's hard to justify $ 449 for a set of headphones, especially a set that doubles as a microphone and the text is not exactly right for the sport of rats (though no doubt will remain planted if you choose em sweat. ") But if you put a ridiculously high value on accuracy and convenience, and prefers to listen to their music than the roar of the engine light aircraft in flight, we can not but highly recommend the Westone 4s. Are they better than the $ 100 Klipsch announced X10i? Probably not, but if you're dead-set on getting a couple with a type of monitor to the ear fit, the search ends here. Unfortunately, these rates are not shipping yet, but until "Q1 2011" estimation is legitimate, should not be too long now.
