Product Details

This premier six-driver system with a three-way crossover yields the ¬ nest audio available today from any earphone. The W60 features dual drivers for the high frequencies, the midrange and the bass, producing a powerful yet balanced sound that offers great detail and high energy output. Recommended for personal audio and video devices.

    • Westone True-Fit Technology: 50+ years experience with in-ear applications has yielded a low-profile, lightweight, universal earpiece which delivers maximum comfort and in-ear coupling for dynamic transfer of sound.
    • Balanced Armature Driver: Westone’s balanced armature drivers are significantly more compact and efficient than traditional dynamic drivers. By combining multiple balanced armature drivers with sophisticated crossover networks, Westone monitors provide enhanced sonic detail and frequency range that extends well beyond typical in-ear solutions.
    • EPIC Replaceable Cable: Westone’s robust replaceable cable is constructed of bifurcated, high-flex, ultra-low resistance tensile wire, reinforced with a special aramid fiber, and braided for ultimate durability, acoustic transparency, and isolation from mechanical cable noise.
    • 3-Button MFi Control System + Mic: Function control for Apple® products including volume +/–, tracking +/–, phone answer, and Siri activation.
    • Designed in the USA: Meticulously crafted by a staff of dedicated artisans based in Colorado Springs, CO.
