Depends what you want. Sound is very lush, and at the same time with bright upper frequencies. Soundstage is broad, but not holographic. People who like this sound do really like it a lot, and it is regarded as a more relaxed alternative to the Shure...Read more SE486, with less emphasis on the deep bass, but plenty in the octave above. They are surprisingly small and comfortable in the ear. For me, the sound is not precise enough, and I prefer a faster attack and decay (especially for piano).

The W60's are my 4th set of Westone's and the best yet, I just had to have these after losing my W4's in Ibiza and glad I did, excellent service and price as usual from Amp3.
