from the lone image above, you can't really tell this pair of earbuds from Westone, the Elite Series ES60 In-Ear Monitor, is a gem. well, not literally the precious stone, but rather a gem for <em>professional</em> musicians' ears.

from the lone image above, you can’t really tell this pair of earbuds from Westone, the Elite Series ES60 In-Ear Monitor, is a gem. well, not literally the precious stone, but rather a gem for professional musicians’ ears. appropriately announced at the National Association of Music Merchant trade show, the ES60 features Westone custom True-Fit technology (hence, the alien-like form) which are cast, sculpted and polished by hand from actual impressions of the individual’s ears and as such, it is able to offer “the world’s most accurate and comfortable fit and acoustic seal possible.”

this kind of solves an age-old problem with in-ear buds; though in-ear buds are pretty much noise isolating, it is never foolproof due to the fit and all, but with the True-Fit technology, it practically brings ‘noise cancellation’ to earphones. adding to the exclusivity, the ES60 is totally handcrafted, offering six balanced armature drivers (two tweeters, two mid-range drivers and a pair of bass driver) in each earphone (6!) and a multistage crossover design that is said to yield “unrivaled sonic purity.”

unlike traditional audio earbuds which pumps out all the sound together in one single channel, the ES60 is blessed with Westone’s Dual Bore technology that enables high and low frequency sound components to be channelled through separate passes in the sound port and sum within the your ear canal. simply put, it will be like having a floor standing audiophile speaker right next to your ear. the ES60 uses a two material construction, comprising of a body temperature reactive flex canal for perfect seal and cold-pour acrylic earpiece housing for durability and enclosure stability.

each pair comes standard with detachable EPIC cable, featuring an “Up and Over” cable routing to prevent hinderance to the musician’s other equipment and it also comes standard with Apple MFI control, as well as Android control cables, and a weather-resistant travel case for safe keeping. as for the price, it will set you back at a hefty $1,299.99. however, that price is not fixed; further customization, which this pair of pro-grade in-ear headphones is offering, will affect the final going price.
