I'm disappointed that no audiophiles has asked which one is better, these or the Moondrop Aria.
The Aria has durability issues that are coming to light (it's a relatively new product so it took until now) that make it a poor recommendation to regular people. It also has no bluetooth unlike this deal.
For what it's worth I got Westone W80 last month in the previous deal for about $490. It blew my old headphones out of the water (Shure SE215, AirPod pro, PowerBeats Pro, Sony WM1000XM3). The sound quality is way better. I would listen to tracks that I known over and over again to compare with my old headphones. I ended up getting a mini DAC Fiio BTR5 also. Don't think the W80 is 4x better than these W20 but they look to have the same form factor and they are very comfortable.
How do these fit compared to Shures? As comfy? Seal / noise blocking as good? TIA
Is this for real or a meme I'm too old to know? I've never heard of the Moondrop Aria, but I need to replace my 15th pair of Flare Audio (shouldn't have bought $50 in non-refundable ear tips, or I'd have given up ages ago).

For real. Moondrop are a Chinese audio company that make IEMs that punch way above they're weight class. They gained huge following with the Starfield that are comparable to $300+ IEMs for around $100. The ones in the OP have an almost identical sound to those, but are cheaper and have a more durable paint job. The Starfield paint job is beautiful, but eventually chips. These do have Bluetooth, though, is that's important to you.

Thank you very much for the info. I'll have to pick up some Moondrops. I don't care about bluetooth, so they sound like the perfect choice for me.
And don't forget the Starfield for the same prices as these. Also easier to replace/upgrade cables or make them BT with TRN BT30. I'm giving the KZ Zs10 Pro a shot, but the Aria or Starfield are next on my list.
I have their W40s. Great IEMs. They have their own Westone house sound with a slight V shape (boosted low end and high end compared to mid). I like it and would highly recommend them, if you like V-shape. If you prefer the flat response, then these are not for you.
Also to note that these IEMs use balanced armature drivers and not dynamics ones.
Also regarding their naming: the number following W refers to number of drivers on each side.
And those looking for TWS options for their IEM's, I just picked up the TRN BT30 for $53 off of AliX. Probably not that price now. Have it wait on sales to get it that cheap. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mPCTCY4
Qualcomm 3040 with BT5.2, Aptx and AAC so perfect for Android or Apple. Kind of a budget FiiO UTWS5. But I don't think the FiiO liets you swap connector cables so you can just buy mmcx or either 2 pin cables with just the one BT30.

I haven't used this ones in particular, but had the sports ones and liked the audio considerably, got the Starfield, the downside with those is that they are damn heavy due to the enclosure, fitting is superior for sure

One reason why I like the over the aspect, to take any pressure off. Have the cheap KZ SKS which are pretty decent for under $30 for a hybrid TWS with apt x. So looking forward to the next step.
how comfortable/flat are these in the ear when laying down sideways (like ear against the pillow)? i had a pair of Westone3's from way back and they basically sit flush with your ear it was amazing

I just got the CCA CRA and am floored for the price. I highly recommend trying it before spending more. They are $15. It is a touch bright so if treble kills you maybe not, but the soundstage and imaging for the price are silly. I think KZ just got lucky but I will take it.

audiophiles won't ask, but they sure as hell will answer.
