If made in Cali, I'm going with We-stone(d).

In ear monitors is one use case. Bluetooth has too much latency.

Quote from lmedrano78 :
Anyone have experience with this brand, comparing to KZ better models or Audeze in ears?
I've had two Westone IEMs break. The original was pretty durable but the replacement only lasted a couple of years of occasional use. Granted, using Bluetooth earphones has made me more forgetful about the cord and it's seen more abuse in recent years.

They also cost far less than they did when I got my first pair, and I suspect the quality has decreased with the price point. They're still a good deal compared to brands like Beats or Shure at this price level, but there are definitely better bargains available unless you're a hardcore audiophile.

I have a pair of custom mold iem's from them that are over a decade old and still going strong.
In my local market, there is a group of doctors that specialize in speech and hearing. When you go to them for some custom molded IEMs, Westone is the company they order them from. They make your mold in their office, send it to Westone, and order you up the IEMs of your choice. I always thought they were the "standard", the "medical grade" equipment, so to speak. I have the very non-custom UM1 model (lower end version than these), and they are my go-to for weekly 3-4 hour band rehearsals. No others I've tried remain comfortable for extended periods. These are tempting.

Man Westone shills this every month on SD, theres a reason why the company isnt doing well anymore.... Unlike UE, Ety, Shure they didn't recognize chifi as a threat and a now they're getting mauled over... For $200 you can buy wayyyy better tuning in chifi than the current situation happening @ westone~

They're an bad deal compared to its actual competitors products from Shure or Etymotic, but they're an abysmal deal compared to something like a Moondrop Blessing 2 or Aria....

I still have my Westone UM2 dual-driver in-ears which I bought on eBay for $280 back in 2008. They are utterly fantastic.

The sound from Bluetooth IEM s will never be as good as wired IEMs because of the limitations of physics. The people who work in the music industry use wired IEMs professionally because for some reason sound reproduction matters to them. Yes you can make sushi with a meat cleaver but it just better to use a sushi knife.

I bought these a couple years ago after my beloved W3's went down.

These are even better. I expected the BT to sound awful (mostly due to reviews from audiophiles) and they are great tbh!

It probably is very tiny, when I was looking for a pair of wired earbuds earlier this year, it was surprising difficult to find a decent pair that was actually in stock.

I picked these up off of an SD listing about a year ago. They're not bad but honestly, I wouldn't recommend them. First, the bluetooth cable is kind of a joke. It's like technology from 5 years ago. The charge you get with it doesn't last very long and the controls on it are a PITA to use. I'd guess anyone trying that cable out uses it once or twice and then it winds up back in the storage case. The sound of the phones is good, but there are plenty of IEM's available now that are comparable at better prices and with much, much better build quality. IMO, these W40's should be going for around $125-150 by now at best.
