The good: The Westone 1 True-Fit Earphones come with a vast array of eartips to offer just about any user the most secure and comfortable fit; passive sound isolation is great; handy accessories are included in the box; the design seems durable.
The bad: The Westone 1 True-Fit Earphones don't sound as good as many other sets that cost the same or less; contoured earpieces may prove troublesome for a handful of users.
The bottom line: The Westone 1 True-Fit Earphones are very comfortable and durable, but the sound quality doesn't quite match up to the price tag.

Top Notch single balanced armature canal monitors.
by bloren12 on October 11, 2010
Pros: Balanced sound, surprising base is present with a good seal. A lot of options for inserts and I can't imagine someone can't find the right fit given the plethora of inserts in the package. Very comfortable fitting and very easy to drive.
Cons: The cord could use a wire for forming around the ear. Early evaluation is not as impressive with harder rock on the lower end sounding a bit bland.

Summary: Not sure how this IEM got such a so-so review by CNET. I've had a number of IEM's although mostly cheaper models. Given how good these isolate sound and how they sound I can only imagine what the Westone 2's or 3's sound like. WIth my price point and the discount I got (12%) off the $139 price, I am extremely pleased with the quality of sound. Due to the accuracy, I'm re-importing a lot of my CD's to a higher bitrate. If you are looking for a solid sounding, comforatble IEM, these are the bomb. I listen to a lot of acoustic music with vocals and these don't disappont. John Mayer, The Eagles, Natalie Merchant, never sounded better. With harder rock, not as impressive, but I expect once they get broken in, the music with stronger base will get better. If it does, then I cannot imagine a better purchase.

Pros: These are the better sounding earphones in this price range.
Made in the USA.
Cons: The included foam plugs do not provide as good a seal as the hard plastic ones.
Summary: Really, I am not sure who reviewed these but these are one the top quality products in this price range. Period.
