The Westone W60 audiophile grade in-ear monitors are designed for an extremely comfortable fit to go along with the outstanding sound quality Westone has become synonymous with. The W60 monitors, a Digital Trends Best of CES award winner, are a direct result of Westone's 50+ years of experience producing in-ear headphone applications. Incredibly light weight, you'll be able to wear these headphones for hours on end without the slightest hint of discomfort. To drive the incredible sound experience, the W60's feature a six balanced armature driver system that works in conjunction with an incredibly sophisticated 3-way crossover network. This combination of multiple drivers and the crossover network allow the monitors to produce enhanced sonic detail and a frequency range that extends well beyond your average in-ear headphone.

Astonishing sound!

The following review is for W60, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I have longed for a great set of headphones/earbuds and these take the cake, the ice cream, and even the clown. I've been listening to and enjoying music that I gave up on years ago, the W60 in-ear monitors have changed the way I listen to music, permanently.

The following review is for W60, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Overall (4 Stars): The Westone W60s are truly amazing. The detail of the total 12 drivers are outstanding and they sound good with any genre of music you can throw at them. Another great feature is they can be used with any device without sounding muffled or under powered. When amplified, they sound even better. They are never too bright or overdone across their entire frequency range.

Value (3 stars): I gave them 3 stars as they are expensive for in-ear headphones, but the technology and sound quality more than make up for the premium price. There's nothing on the market that I've listened to that comes close to these.

Look and design (4 stars): This is one place I think they could use some improvement. For such expensive headphones the design and coolness factor are a little lacking. I've also had trouble with the covers on the earpiece breaking. I called Westone and they just sent me a bunch of covers for free. Also, all of the included accessories never leave you wanting or needing anything. The hardshell case is almost indestructible too.

Durability (3 Stars): They get a rating of three stars because of the of the covers cracking about once a month. In all fairness I do use these about 8 hours a day and a few hours on the weekend, so they get a lot of use.

Features (4 stars): With the amazing 6 balanced armature drivers per ear, there's not much that comes close to these. As stated earlier they also come with a huge variety of accessories. It also comes with two different cords, one with a mic and controls for an iPhone/iPad and one without.

Ease of Use (5 stars): They in ear headphones. Not much to say here. Totally easy to use.

The business

The following review is for W60, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

These are by far the best in-ear monitors I've ever heard and they beat out many over-ear cans except on soundstage. They are well balanced or just tuned perfectly for my ears. Highs are rolled off to keep from being harsh but no detail is lost. The mids and bass are crossed over perfectly. These aren't bass heavy but there is still enough, probably because of quality. I love playing my music loud all the time but no joke these are the first headphone that I don't have to or necessarily want to turn up loud. They sound great with spotify running off the phone but when I upgraded to the LG V10 which has a hi-fi dac and got Tidal hi-fi there is definitely a noticeable difference. They fit comfortably and isolate well....enough so I don't hear my girl nagging. Besides the price you will not be disappointing. Sonic worked a great deal so I pulled the trigger and don't regret it. Just buy it and don't worry about any other headphones. The phone is great too.

Westone W60 Ear Buds

The following review is for W60, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

These are by far the best I've ever heard. I travel a lot and it blocks noise while delivering crisp, clear sound. As a rummer they also fit my ears perfectly, with the many choice of buds that are sent with it, and stay nicely in my ear with the same sound quality as if I was still. A little costly but if you use headphones as much as I do, it was worth the investment!

Excellent balance

The following review is for W60, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I've been listening to these for a couple weeks now and I think they certainly prove themselves as high-level in-ears. They actually remind me a lot of the Sennheiser HD800 with the balance that they have.

The sound is crisp and clear all around. Some have said the bass is low in quantity, I think it's well balanced and always shows up when the song calls for it. Again, it reminds me of the HD800 in the way it gives what is asked without really anything extra. In that sense, it can seem a bit boring or flat upon first listen but that's because it's not imparting a lot of its own flavor.

Build quality is very solid and the two cables are both quite nice. A ton of comfortable tip options included as well -- I often have problems finding proper tips but I was able to narrow down pretty quick with the included ones here.

As an overall package, I have a hard time faulting the W60 and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a more neutral/balanced sound.
