Westone Audio Pro X20 IEM Earphones - Dual Driver Noise Isolating Musician in-Ear Monitor Wired Earbuds

I enjoy small details composer added to their music. I had been using headphones/earphones with dynamic driver other brands like Apple, Bose, Sony and monitor by Shure. Everything dynamic driver I used so far was good, and delivered very good balanced sound that is pleasing to ears.And then I tried Shure 215 Ionic monitors, and it changed whole game. I started noticing minor details in music that I had never felt before. But one issue with Shure 215 is static noise and it was not that comforting for extended duration.And then I tried this monitors from Westone Audio, which fixed issues I had with Shure 215. And I felt it sounded better as well.Foam tips are great for cutting out external noise. I use it in quiet environment at night anyways.Monitors overall does not deliver sub-bass like dynamic driver so that is one compromise. However this WA monitors delivers decent bass to my satisfaction. If I want more bass I just switch to my stereo system - vintage Bose SE-5 (Made in Japan) - still performing like it’s new.Replacement Cable with T2 BAX connection is expensive. And currently there are no other alternative brand that makes these cable. And it’s looks very fragile, really needs extra care with handling.Overall I feel it’s very good product but is overpriced.

I have REALLY tiny ears and these are perfect! I use them for every service at church and these are great! They stay firmly placed in your ears and have about a million inserts so no matter if your ear canals are a little bigger these will fit! The sound quality is amazing too. I will say they are a little heavy on the bass side, but I prefer that anyways. So these work perfectly for me!

Sound quality is great from these. The cable will tangle on everything and feels like it could break at any moment. Not to mention it has no ear guide to wrap around your ear. Personally I’ll be upgrading that cord asap.

I’ve tried Apple ear buds ( second generation), and Shure 215’s. The Apple kept falling out of my ears, and the Shure’s were not only near impossible put in, but had no bass that I could detect. Maybe I just have funny ears.I bought the Westone’s with great hope but little expectation. But what a surprise! They actually fit, and the sound was great! They aren’t totally sound cancelling but almost, which is fine with me. A little room awareness is good for my purposes.A small nitpick: I am using the foam covers for the earpieces. The foam separated from the hard plastic sleeve that is attached to the foam. The easy fix was to use a small amount of GOOP adhesive to adhere the foam to the sleeve. Tip: Be careful not get any adhesive inside the “tunnel” through which the sound travels. Best way is to put a small amount of adhesive on the outside of the plastic sleeve only. Let it dry overnight.

Since writing this review,Westone has corrected the problem for me . So I have to preface it by saying that I contacted “Westone Audio” , the manufacturer of this product, and they have stepped up and completely rectified the situation. This review is NOT to say that “Westone is NOT a great company , or that they don’t have quality products,they in fact have excellent products , just not this particular one. Their representative whom corrected the issue was nothing short of kind and professional . I wouldn’t suggest this product to anyone , in hopes that I’d be saving them from a lot of frustration. I bought this product after trying other cheaper and less popular Name Brands . When I opened the package I noticed that the ear monitors didn’t have a rigid “ear hook” to hold them on my ears . I will say that instead they have a zip line that allows you to cinch the cable up to the bottom of your head .unfortunately, I didn’t use them for over a month because I was on vacation. When I returned, I used them at a live performance and spent the entire 1-1/2 show having to put the cable back around my ears during every song , making it difficult to concentrate on playing my instrument and the song that I was in the middle of . I can’t for the life of me understand how a company specializing in this product would manufacture it this way , avoiding the very design feature that makes this item USABLE . Needless to say , I didn’t notice this problem until it was too late to return it . I will mention that I do like the in ear monitors themselves , I just can’t keep them on my ears , rendering them completely useless , and I’m out the money for them . Completely frustrated and disappointed!

These are great. Nothing bad to say about them. Sound is very balanced. Don't expect big lows or highs. These are definitely meant for live sound applications where you hear everything. If you like louder lows, you can use an EQ on them. But for balanced live sound applications, this is what you want.
