Heres my review from amazon "Sounds guy" surpisingly it is the top review on amazon , This review was slighty modified since I do own the se846 currently and can comment on the two.
The comfort is so good, I can't even feel them in my ears, which makes the sound stage that much better. The iem and MMCX cable,and connectors have awesome build quality.
The BASS, EXTREMELY tight and punchy compared to my Sennheiser Momentums or AKG k702, and Sennheiser HD600, these sound way tighter and natural. The PRAT (pace,rhythm, and timing) are extremely fast due to the 3 speaker system. The bass attacks and decays instantly, and when the song was bassy heavy these iems came through with no distortion.
Now onto the treble, the treble is so shimmery and well extended it puts my sennheisers to shame, the treble is almost perfect, it has this nice airy tone to it which makes everything sound spacious, with females vocals the "S" and "t" sounds, sound crystal clear without it being sibilant or harsh.
Mids- the vocals sound extremely nice and can put you in a HAZE!! When you hear the instruments it has better seperation and speed than my HD600 Mometums and akgs. Idk how westone did these but they captured every vocal nuance. You can hear the vocal chords reverberating with clarity like never before. Listen to taylor swift, Adele, skylar grey, christinna perri... It will sound absolutely amazing.
Soundstage- Obviously these little iems won't sound as open as the AKG or Sennheiser HD600, but they have a pretty massive soundstage thanks to the 3 way drivers, these have a better stage then my Momentums. Everything has it's place, including instruments, other detailed nuances in your music.
Isolation- when I have these on nothing goes out and nothing comes in, meaning it's only you and your music.
Reccomendations: If you are looking for the most natural timbre I would still go with dynamic drivers since they have more bass since they move more air, in sacrifice for clarity. Something like the sennheiser ie80 should work well. I will make one thing clear the W40 DOES NOT SOUND BETTER THAN THE W30, many people assume more drivers= better sound quality, that's not the case here. The W40 have a recessed midrange that sounds bad to my ears, and completely unnatural since females vocals won't shine as much. Over all the W40 is a good package if you want LUSH sound... Keep in mind the W30 is more brighter (better treble response). If you love vocals like me you can also opt for the Shure se535 or se846. Over all I would say these have more clarity than the se535, but for purely vocals the Se535 takes the win. Se846 sounds a little more refined in the treble, and the mid range is still the best tonality, with the super extended bass, however, the Westones are half the price and have good enough sound.
Conclusion- I would HIGHLY recommend these for your everyday audiophile/ music enthusiast. These fit the bill perfectly.
