Quality


So far im very happy with the purchase


As others have said the build quality and aural quality is excellent


Overall this is a good buy if youre in the market for some quality iems


If the seals arent working optimally more than half the sound quality is lost

Price


I only hear a small difference with 5 or 6 driver models so this is the sweet spot for my needs and the price is absolutely jus...  Read More


Ultimately i cannot justify the 499 price

Shipping


Cudos to both for the fast and speedy delivery

Packaging/appearance


They work just fine with your phone or tablet but they seem to improve a lot when a good power source is thrown in the mix


This is an excellent design as it provides a secure fit and it helps get the cable out of the way


This has been most noticeable in the treble where i felt they were a bit muddy or veiled sounding out of the box

Competitiveness


Hands down the best inear product in the market


I would definitely recommend at least 320kbps or flac


The w40s have a couple of features that make them stand out from the competitionsmall size as indicated above the w40s are small


I am a semi pro drummer playing in live gigs and rehearsals 34 times a week and i use the phones for my iems exclusively
