  • Westone Audio Custom-Fit Technology
    Fully custom earpieces are cast, sculpted, and polished by hand from actual impressions of your ears, resulting in the best fit and acoustic seal possible.

    Earpiece shells are cold-poured in acrylic for a thicker, more robust acoustic enclosure. This process increases durability and provides a more luxurious appearance.
  • Deep Open Bore
    The Deep Open Bore design provides a smoother transition between the monitor mix and the ambient sound and also increases comfort and acoustic seal.

2nd set and extremely happy!

I purchased a pair of 3 driver back in 2016-2017ish. Wore them while playing bass at church. I am the audio guy but play on occasion. I didn't have the need to upgrade until this year, I've been asked to play some acoustic shows. I figure if Im ever going to upgrade it would be now. I looked at the 64's but just didn't like the style of 8 driver models.
I ordered these ES80's on the advice of the worship pastor. Well they arrived and the clarity is night and day. I'm a customer for life no doubt. My insurance even paid for the hearing test and 80% cost of the molds. I'm an old man, 65 this month. These will last me the rest of my life. smart purchase I believe. Extremely fast turn around time. Great product!

Great internals, poor externals

Been wearing my ES80's while drumming in various live settings for 4 years. Sound quality is fantastic, have been very happy with the sound dampening and audio quality. Unfortunately, the clear acrylic molds have discolored with time and use despite constant cleaning. I would highly recommend AVOIDING clear molds. Instead, choose a color that will not discolor with time and use. As a female drummer in many formal settings, appearance is very important to me, and I have been very disappointed. Now, they are so badly discolored, I am embarrassed to wear them in between sets. I highly encourage Westone to provide a solution to this problem and to improve a remarkable IEM!

Love the ES80, Definitely worth it!

I'm a few months into using the ES80 and loving it. I demo'd the ES40 and ES60, and found that I wanted more definition in the high end. I was reluctant to spring for the highest priced version, but these really did the the trick. They feel well-balanced, not overhyped. The low end is very honest, so if you are a bass player or drummer looking to enhance the sub frequencies of your mix, I would look elsewhere. Not that the low end isn't present - just a very linear response. The high end is detailed and crisp, and midrange is revealing. I sat in front of my studio monitors and A-B'd between reference tracks I am familiar with on my speakers and my IEM's, and didn't notice any major inconsistencies. This is super important to me, I need to trust my IEM's. I am using these on tour and in the studio for tracking and mixing. I'm happy across the board, but especially thrilled for studio use.

Westone's customer service has been really great, and the packaging/accessories you get with purchase are great. I'm a big fan of pelican cases on the road, and I feel safe knowing my investment is protected in a Pelican. The flex canal is truly innovative - the IEM 'molds' to the shape of my ear canal just a few minutes after insertion, and it eventually feels invisible after a bit. Great tech here.

If you are comparing the top offerings from Westone and other companies like JH, Ultimate, 1964, etc, I think that the Westone is a really great option. The ES80 definitely gets the job done sonically. I think these beat the heck out of the UE18's in build quality, sonics, and customer service. The highest end JH stuff might be slightly better sonically if you are extremely discerning. However, the flex canal, pelican case, and especially Westone's customer service tell me to pass on JH and roll with Westone, which I will be doing for the foreseeable future. Great stuff, thanks!
