W80 aimed for "harmonic content" to reproduce the characteristics of musical instruments and recording space
The sound of Wone created by Westone's sound designer Karl Cartwright is "harmonic content", ie harmony in music.
In Westone's sound design, I have been committed to reproducing the characteristics of musical instruments and recording spaces.
In this time, we have repeatedly studied to realize this, and as we improved and improved the balanced armature driver, this has become possible.
W80 has increased the number of drivers, but there are reasons to become a multi-driver.
In the W60, I won an award at CES, I got a very popular opinion in each country, not to mention the Japanese market, but I wanted to pursue further Harmonic Content "harmony" that I can express more.
The result is 2 years of concept, 8 drivers of W80.
W80 will make you feel more clearly the size of the recording space and the nuance of the instrument.
W80 is inherited from the goodness of W60, as well as being designed to enjoy the new beauty that is called a realistic feeling never before.
I just wanted to raise the nature, not just to increase the driver by increasing the treble.
Characterizing the sound of instruments by looking for harmony, that is the sound that we aimed for at W80.
Premium cable jointly developed with cable ALO is included.
More storage cases also
As the high-end flagship model "W80" is the contents of the package that brought the bundled items to the previous W series in a line.
Besides MFI 3 button cable which is easy to use with smartphone etc., the commitment cable is bundled "Westone by ALO Premium Cable" which was subjected to Westone original "cryo processing" by joint development with ALO company.
With this cable, it reproduces the three-dimensional detail which is clear and deep.
(Westone by ALO premium cable is stored in the included small case)
Included ballistic nylon case which can store accessories such as players and accessories and can be adjusted separately.
Also comes with a small case for carrying only earphones.
Comfortable comfort with a compact shell while installing eight balanced armature drivers
Although "W80" has 8 drivers, it is only about 1 mm compared with "W60" with 6 drivers of the conventional model.
We realize a very compact shell and design.
Even when I became a driver, I felt that the fitting feeling was not "fit" but "Stay" in my ear.
In addition to the three colors (gum metallic silver, metallic red, gold) of the face plate of the conventional "Signature" series, metallic blue was added, and it became four colors.
Both are elegant and luxurious colors, you can change the faceplate according to your mood and clothing.

Earphones boasting perfection completion!
The Westone 's technical capabilities are probably one that puts eight BA drivers in this compact enclosure. The treble is very stretchy and natural. You can hear beautiful sound one by one glossy without stinging. Is it clear that the transparency is amazing, it is one word that the reverberation is also wonderful. The sound pressure of bass is amazing. However, it does not get in, and the graininess of the sound is also clean and comfortable here. The balance of the whole is very good. Furthermore, it is sound insulation that makes me think that mechanical noise canceling is not necessary. Realism, localization, balance of the whole area, resolution, sound pressure, which is very wonderful perfection. Although it may be natural from the price, is not it sound quality that seems to be a good sound no matter who hears it? Resonator, tone color, and lingering sound of the sound of each instrument are amazing. Vocal fine breathing is also transmitted to the very impressed quality of sound. When I first heard it, I inadvertently sighs out. It is a sound quality enough to think that this is the earphone ... with the sound quality you have never experienced before. There is also comfort that you do not get tired further. Since it is still just after purchase, I am listening with the premium cable of the included ALO. As expected it is just such an earphone, I think the tuning that the attached cable also matched to the earphone is also wonderful. There is no stagnation of sound or cloudiness of one point. It connects with NW - WM 1 Z · NW - ZX 300, and is mainly listening to FLAC files of J - POP and rock. Although it is an unbalanced connection, it plays a different level from the other earphones. I listen to SHURE SE 846 and Westone WST - UMPRO 50 even by balanced connection but it is high sound quality enough to make me think that the case is different. As aging progressed, even if you listen to the balanced connection you can not imagine how much sound it will sound. In future we plan to purchase ALO Audio Reference 8 ALO-5027 4.4 mm balance (5 poles), so I would like to review it again after listening after connecting with it. Anyway, it is an expensive earphone, I think that it is the best earphone that I do not regret buying!




Completed sound of W series
Purchasing W80 by letting go of the W60, the hands are SE 846 and UM PRO 50. The amount of the high region increases more than W60 and the overall transparency increases. Rather than becoming sparkling, it feels like real sound like raw sound. The expression of this high range is wonderful, depending on songs are goose bumps. Compared with SE 846 · PRO 50, the W 80 is a "good quality sound" earphone compared to "SE 886 · PRO 50 sounds a high resolution sound". When it comes to some high-end products, which one comes preference instead of above. The feeling that the W80 is most wonderful is that it sounds with "good sound" also on poor quality sound sources, low price DAP, and YouTube. I think that it is an earphone in which the direction which westone aims about which is concerned with expression of sound is overwhelmed, not merely asking for sound quality only. Although the price is high, I can convince its value if you consider the portability that you can bring out a good quality sound outside. Custom IEM is a price that comes into view, but I think that should not be compared on the same ring considering their intended use and convenience. The high frequency representation method of W80 is unique and unique. It is not a high-end model that simply increased the number of drivers from the W60, but the result which further improved the sound quality further is transmitted. There are even higher class machines at other companies, but the fitting feeling and sound insulation that put 8 drivers in this size are wonderful.




It's not only expensive but it's attractive
Today, purchased at e-earphone head office It will be an upgrade from W60, but with 2 additional high-range drivers, it has become a total of 8 units, high frequency x4, mid range x2, low frequency x2. Although W60 was a good feeling of JAZZ etc., I have the impression that it became possible to do any genre by adding a wide area driver. Although it can not be said that it is inexpensive in terms of money, in the case of earphones, the highest peak is available in this price range, so I would like to recommend buying one more than mid-level models . Well, about the package, the outer box is quite large, is it about 3 times W 60? The orange line is cool and it can be said that it has enough appearance to satisfy ownership desire. When opening the outer case, there is a large case inside, so that all of the set including accessories is included. Because the amount is monetary, it is gorgeous for fluffy. W80 original ALO cable is in the case only for earphone, but this ALO cable is fabulous, sound quality and handling are both compatible. (In this L-shaped connector, it seems that there is no problem with compatibility with most iphone cases.) There are many people who are considering upgrading from W60, but the sound quality definitely improves So we do not have to worry about it.




Mokomoko sound
It is used in combination with SHURE SE 535 Special Edition. Players are Sony Walkman NW - A 27 and NW - WM 1 A. Listen to the music genre is J-POP, modern jazz, rock. 535 is clear and light sound, but bass is not enough. The sound of W80 is really thick to the familiar ear listening to 535, but on the other hand it is Mokomoko, there is no refreshing treble. After replacing the supplied cable, it became a little clearer, but Mokomoko will not be eliminated. Because it is a heavy sound, you may get tired from listening. Touch noise is quite large for the included cable. Moreover, it is hard to familiarize to the curve of the ear behind because it is hard. If we compare W80 to meat, it is Kobe beef of 10,000 yen at 100 g. Speaking of whether plenty of rich marbling meat is delicious, it is not saying that. I wrote only negative things because the W80 is extraordinary and expensive. I think 535 is easier to hear, I also like the sound quality, so I use 535 as the main. Although it is a matter of taste to the last, personally the cost performance of W80 is not high.




Real but soft soft wonderful vocals
This series is the same series of this maker's w60 fans and has raised the grade to w80. I upgraded to a wonderful vocal which is real but soft. My favorite is vocals that are many, and it is a real vocal on a soft bass. Real vocal like riding on the clouds. Unfortunately the bass w60 is not soft bass out. It may be that the midrange has definitely come out before the bass does not appear richly. It seems that the body is slightly smaller than w60. I do not know the mechanical thing but is it caused by it? But listen to vocals adequately. The reason I liked w60 is that the sound is more realistic than the other earphones, but it is soft, not ticky. w80 Vocal is more than enough. Please give rich bass to things to be released next time.




It is expensive, but I am satisfied with the highest advanced model
I used earphones of 20,000 yen ever, but since I am tired, I bought it this time. Originally I was studying from Sure or Weston of 80,000 yen who was interested, but I also found this advanced model W80. Although I got a feeling to W80 if I had to purchase it all the way, I bought it after it took about one month to purchase because it was expensive. Both high and low sounds are satisfying with the best sound quality. Two types of cables are attached, and transparent copper wire cable has difficulty in handling, but it improved sound quality more. I am relieved that the decision I purchased was wrong.
