Westone Announces the W80

Colorado Springs, CO – September 15, 2016 - 

Westone, the leader in high performance in-ear audio, announced the launch of the newest high end in-ear monitor, the Signature Series W80. “Three years in the making, the Signature W80 is the quintessential achievement of industry pioneers Kris and Karl Cartwright. Every detail of the W80 was purpose built from the ground up in order to provide the most comfortable, best sounding, and luxurious experience possible.” said Blake Gaiser, Director of Product and Marketing. “No other product on the market today has gone to the extent that Westone has with the W80 to provide the best sounding earphones, the highest quality cable, and the most luxurious carry case and accessories. Everything about the W80 is desirable.”


The Signature W80 features eight proprietary drivers impeccably tuned with a passive 3-way crossover to create an unbelievably immersive listening experience. Masterfully engineered, the W80 makes no compromises delivering reference level audio by integrating full size dual bass drivers with dual mid and quad high drivers as well as ALO Audio’s proven hifi “Reference 8” cable. The result is the most comfortable, ergonomically designed earphone on the market with a wider, deeper and a far more “holographic” presentation with improved dynamic range, increased micro details, enhanced black background, expansive harmonic content with tremendous accuracy and an extensive sound stage. MSRP $1,499 Available starting October 2016 in select countries and worldwide by November 2016.
