Westone AudioPro X50 IEM Earphones - Five-Driver Noise Isolating Musician in-Ear Monitor Wired Earbuds

I enjoy small details composer added to their music. I had been using headphones/earphones with dynamic driver other brands like Apple, Bose, Sony and monitor by Shure. Everything dynamic driver I used so far was good, and delivered very good balanced sound that is pleasing to ears.And then I tried Shure 215 Ionic monitors, and it changed whole game. I started noticing minor details in music that I had never felt before. But one issue with Shure 215 is static noise and it was not that comforting for extended duration.And then I tried this monitors from Westone Audio, which fixed issues I had with Shure 215. And I felt it sounded better as well.Foam tips are great for cutting out external noise. I use it in quiet environment at night anyways.Monitors overall does not deliver sub-bass like dynamic driver so that is one compromise. However this WA monitors delivers decent bass to my satisfaction. If I want more bass I just switch to my stereo system - vintage Bose SE-5 (Made in Japan) - still performing like it’s new.Replacement Cable with T2 BAX connection is expensive. And currently there are no other alternative brand that makes these cable. And it’s looks very fragile, really needs extra care with handling.Overall I feel it’s very good product but is overpriced.

I’ve tried Apple ear buds ( second generation), and Shure 215’s. The Apple kept falling out of my ears, and the Shure’s were not only near impossible put in, but had no bass that I could detect. Maybe I just have funny ears. I bought the Westone’s with great hope but little expectation. But what a surprise! They actually fit, and the sound was great! They aren’t totally sound cancelling but almost, which is fine with me. A little room awareness is good for my purposes. A small nitpick: I am using the foam covers for the earpieces. The foam separated from the hard plastic sleeve that is attached to the foam. The easy fix was to use a small amount of GOOP adhesive to adhere the foam to the sleeve. Tip: Be careful not get any adhesive inside the “tunnel” through which the sound travels. Best way is to put a small amount of adhesive on the outside of the plastic sleeve only. Let it dry overnight.

I was very happy with these headphones!! I could hear much better than with my last headphones. I use them when I play and sing on our praise team at church. I couldn’t believe how much better I could hear!!

If you are a bass player you will not be satisfied with this product… There is no bass and what little bass exists it’s a synthetic tingy sound. If you are vocalist this is a good product as the vocals are clear and true to sound. Another drawback is The cable sucks as it’s thin and constantly gets tangled. I do not recommend this product

I was skeptical of buying these coming from Shure 425’s and 535’s. After a month or two I will say that the sound quality from these Westone’s blow the Shure’s out of the water. My only complaint is the thin flimsy headphone cable. Other than that I am very pleased.

I have REALLY tiny ears and these are perfect! I use them for every service at church and these are great! They stay firmly placed in your ears and have about a million inserts so no matter if your ear canals are a little bigger these will fit! The sound quality is amazing too. I will say they are a little heavy on the bass side, but I prefer that anyways. So these work perfectly for me!

Pros:very very very comfortable. It (5 driver IEM) feels even smaller than a share 215 (1 driver). It’s light, thin, and really wont put any pressure on any part of my ear ( except of the tips, of course). The cable is really fancy, thinner than a fishing line but so strong. Be reminded that you might even forget that you have the cable connected and might accidentally dropped your player/computer. Well made, the built quality is worth the price if you ask me. Sound wise, it has very good definition (for some parts) and wide stage.Con: muffled and, forgive me for using this overused word, “muddy” sound. I couldn’t find any reliable frequency graphic for Pro X50, but my ear is telling me there is a big bump around 500Hz. This signature makes the male voice sounds like singing with a stuffy nose - (not that exaggerated but still quite) muffled voice. Also, high frequency is comparably weak, I find it but hard to track hats from drums. Due to the emphasized mid frequency and weak high frequency, instrument isolation is unsatisfactory too, especially for guitars on the few lowest frets and male voice.I can imaging this will be a very useful IEM for on-stage vocalists-you don’t have to track down your voice, because voice is emphasized as the center of the center. But for any other uses, including listen to music or producing, it’s over emphasized.

I don't know if they're worth it, but I sure like them. All the people whining about the thin wire are out of their mind. That thin little wire is tough enough to tow a truck. And it fits very nicely around the ear, snugs up behind the head, and runs down to the pack. I've had no problems with it at all. If you're budget conscious, maybe the 3's are the way to go. If you wanna splurge, buy these. Go ahead and do it. You know you want to.

Very disappointed in these inear monitors. I spent a lot of money on these and have had nothing but trouble with them. The pegs that hold the rubber parts for your ear have come out. They won't stay in your ears once sweat get involved. They need the hook that other models have to hold them in place.

This product is high quality, the sound is natural and the EQ is flat, absolutely love them

These are just great, comfy to wear and the sound is amazing.

These in ear monitors are comfortable, stay in place and offer a number of sizing pieces to ensure they isolate the sound you want from the volume you dont. While performing, these IEMs are clear and produce a realistic bass and when combined with a Shure IEM wireless system you can get so sleep post gig without that thick fuzzy ringing onstage volume creates. I have used them to listen to music on other occasions and they are quality with accurate reproduction as far as i can expect. I replaced Shure 525 se, which were nice as well, but i like the lighter cordage and its easier to conceal. These are very good in all situations.
