Is Earphone Solutions biased towards Westone earphones?

The new Westone 2 along with the Westone 1, which share the same exact casing, are the most comfortable earphones in the market tested so far. With a 2-way passive crossover built-in and 2 dedicated drivers on each earpiece, the Westone 2 outputs great sound quality. The bass, mids and highs are improved over the little brother Westone 1, while featuring the same excellent cable design. If you have a $350 budget, get the Westone 2 for $249 and save a $100! They will outperform all the earphones we tested even in higher price categories only losing in sound to Turbine Pro Copper ($399), Westone 3 ($399) and if you really like your bass pumping, the UM2 ($299). |

With the new released Westone 1 the competition should be very worried about this new kid on the block as it poses a threat to models all the way up to $200 when in fact it sells for $139. The Westone 1 has just been released and it’s much more than a simple improvement on the UM1. It’s actually a more affordable version of all the best principles in construction, driver, comfort and fit acquired by Westone on their $300 plus models. |

After its big brother the UM2, the Westone UM1 Single Driver True Fit is the next most comfortable set of earphones we’ve reviewed. We find them to be a direct competition for the Shure SE110, Shure SE210, Shure SCL2 and Shure SCL3. The UM1 offers a more balanced output, a more comfortable fit, and better designed cables. |

The Westone UM2 dual driver in-ear earphones provide perfectly balanced output with a very musical sound. We also like their superior designed cables and the outstanding customer service Westone offers—extremely fast and responsive. Both the UM2 and the UM1 are made in the USA. |

The Shure SE530 Earphones are one of the best universal-fit earphones. Providing a comfortable fit, these sound isolating earphones are equipped with three miniaturized microdrivers, one tweeter and two woofers, delivering the ultimate auditory experience. |

The Shure SE 210-K Earphones are best for those looking for comfort and very good detail on mids and highs. The SE 210-K’s bass is tighter than the Shure "E" series, giving you more definition on the low end of the frequency range. However, it may also sound like "less bass" when playing heavier bass songs. EXCELLENT comfort and design. If it weren't for the fact that the SE210 are slightly bigger than the more expensive earphones, the fit and comfort would be about the same as the top of the line SE530. |
