Define "AirPods good." If you're looking for music quality, airpods are lousy. If you're looking for ease of use with an iPhone, they're the gold standard and you won't find better.
The Westone sound is better (flatter) than airpods. If you like airpods, you'll hate them. Get something with artificially enhanced bass. Get the Sony Extra Bass or Beats/Powerbeats. They'll sound like ass, but you'll like them.
Anyone know what's up with the W series at Westone? They no longer list any of the W or UM series on the site. Looks like they may have shifted to focusing on Healthcare/Military/Hearing Protection only. Can no longer buy direct and only place the W10 is mentioned on the entire website is at...
Analysts estimate Apple sold between 14 million and 16 million AirPods in 2017. In 2018, AirPods were Apple's most popular accessory product, with 35 million units sold. 60 million units were sold in 2019.
Lmao yeah they suck but they sell 99% more than any of this "hi-fi" crap. Funny how the world works isn't it.
I mean yeah, Apple uses basically the same business model that Bose had perfected decades earlier. So-so performance + great marketing = $$$.
It seems the rest of the Westone deals that were posted months ago are still up - you just have to use the links from the posts. I ended up going with the W40 for $169, however these all seem like the permanent price for anyone on slickdeals…

Thanks. Help me out here, what's a Bluetooth Cable? Gotta have a wire on these, can't use them as buds?

People are very gullible. That's all you're helping to prove.

The buds by themselves are not bluetooth, they attach to an included bluetooth 'wire'. You can use non-bluetooth mmcx compatible wire if you want, but wires are required for these buds to function.

Are you talking about AirPods or AirPods Pro/AirPods 3 ?

203 billion cigarettes were sold in 2019.

Westones are notoriously tuned badly. You might enjoy these if you really hate treble, but ultimately I'd recommend the Etymotic ER2s at this price point.
Excellent! the cable on two of my decade's old IER's (that are not replaceable like these models) have finally started having issues. I missed the last big sale.
Go with earbuds with loops that go around the ear. Those never fall out.
Got in trouble complaining about KEF in ears that had a metal bendy thing that did just that, hold them in place. They snapped and KEF had "no replacements" they were 250 retail. Stinks

In pinch, a piece of copper wire might work. Make it look factory with a piece of black heatshrink tubing.

I guess they focus on pro for customized fit and quality while retailers more of tuning on wider markets
