Thanks for the input, I'm doing a bit of reading up on some audiophile forums and trying to find a decent non-bias review.

Seems like a good price based on history, but caught this mini review in a previous thread:
Terrible, muted treble response. Poor detail retrieval, especially in the treble, since the treble is...

Trying to think, how 5 drivers in ear headphones work? When it's this all can your ear physically tell the difference?
thought multiple drivers were a thing for "gaming headphones"

So this isnt like how Razer does it where they are trying to fit a 5.1 surround system into a headphone. This is made so that each driver is dedicated to a specific frequency range. Theoretically...

No. This is like the megapixel race, has nothing to do with sound quality.
And only buy headphones you can return if you don't like it.

Its not so much the drivers so much as the tuning, and more drivers just means more tuning potential, ofc that doesnt mean its always tuned well. More drivers means more control over certain...

Do you own the W4? I'm jealous. I got the W3 for free from a contest Westone held. When the W4 came out I really wanted it since everyone was talking about how good the sub-bass was on it. I enjoyed...

i have the 4 driver w40 and it makes a huge difference in sound quality when compared to single or dual driver. Never listened to the B50 though, so i can't comment on quality.

Depends on the device that was used to power up the earbuds. If it was a high quality amplifier then I would deem it a legit review. If a stock pc output with 64kbps stream, not legit.

No that shit is usually marketing. Some of the best IEMs in the world still only have a single dynamic driver

Great explanation on why the W4 didn’t have a “boomy” bass sound. Clarity all day
