But first, let’s look at Westone and the W80 you can win.

About Westone

I’m convinced everyone knows the Colorado based company from something. Westone isn’t only well known for their earphones, they actually also are famous for their hearing protection, hearing healthcare and military products and all that since 1959. Westone probably among audiophiles is most known for their W-series of universal IEMS, with the W80 as the flagship.

Did you know that Westone already back in 1985 introduced the first custom-fit earpiece for the Sony Walkman style earbuds? Check out this page to learn more of Westone’s history: https://www.westone.com/store/music/index.php/about-westone

Established in 1959, Westone Laboratories has more than 55 years of experience delivering premium in-ear solutions for critical listening applications. Westone is the largest manufacturer of custom ear pieces in the world and was the first to design and manufacture a balanced armature driver earphone. With hearing healthcare and music specialists on our research and production teams, Westone invented the most ergonomic monitor design which provides the most comfortable, best fitting and quietest earphones on the market. The largest names in music turn to Westone in-ear monitors for on-stage use, just as U.S. Air Force fighter pilots depend on Westone’s ACCES® in-ear communications system for mission-critical noise isolation, hearing protection and two-way communication. It is our experience, our products, and our people that make Westone The In-Ear Experts®.

The W80

The dedicated W80 product page can be found here: https://www.westone.com/store/music/w80-earphones-3423

The eight driver W80 makes no compromises delivering reference level audio by integrating full size dual bass drivers with dual mid and quad high drivers. The result is an exceptional delivery of extended range and harmonic content that has never been heard in a multi-driver earphone – until the arrival of the W80.

TRUE-FIT® TECHNOLOGY: 60 years of experience designing products for the ear, has resulted in a universal-fit earpiece that is compact, low-profile, lightweight, and extremely comfortable. Our proprietary eartips enhance the performance of the W80 by ensuring a great fit and seal, right out of the box.
