Before the chi-fi explosion, multi-driver IEM's were the domain of companies that knew how to tune an IEM, and multi-driver IEM's weren't usually dirt cheap like they are now.
As for the good or bad dilemma. I like a harman tune with a tamed pinna gain (google it) from 2-5K. Some people will tell me that it's bad, but it's just not their preference. Unfortunately, finding this out takes quite a bit of buying of IEM's, and that's the problem with online reviews. You need to try it yourself. But I would not start with these westones as they appear to lack any pinna gain over the midrange. It's just very uncommon to find IEM's tuned this way after 2017. If I was starting fresh, I'd go with any of the Etymotic IEM's. Whichever one you can afford. I love mine. I also love the Thieaudio Legacy 3, but I hear there are tuning differences with newer produced sets.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that the etymotics are really deep fitting IEM's, and it's not for everyone. It took me a few days to get used to it and switching to a larger 3-flange tip to the feeling to normalize.

I would not touch W60 at $999, but at $399 grab it, if you have the funds.

Thanks for your input! Upon looking further, I think i will stick with the b50. It was $270 after tax while w60 will be $440. I listen to pop using my phone at work. Not sure if going to w60 will actually offer benefit in my case, since I dont have dac on me most times
