Not surprisingly, Westone announced the release of Westone 2 (or W2 for short) after Westone 1 hit the market just months ago. As the name implies, W2 will be a dual driver tuned toward personal listening (as opposite to UM2's stage monitor tuning). It seems Westone has really dedicated on keeping their Pro-user orientated UM series separated from the more Pop-user orientated W series. You can expect to see it on the street at 27th of this month. Want to keep one? That will be US$249 of your pocket change.Specifications:
Sensitivity: 117 dB SPL @1kHz
Frequency response: 20 Hz -18 kHz
Impedance: 33 ohms @1kHz
Driver: Dual balanced armatures; 1 low & 1 high frequency
Features: Deluxe travel pouch, ten different eartips, and wax loop for cleaning.
Standard Color: Black
On a side news, Westone also makes available 333 set of limited edition Westone 3 for a cool US$503 each to cerebrate the company's 50th anniversary. Beside a golden printing on the side of the earpiece (normally red), you also get a few more accessories. For that kind of price, this one is reserved for the real hardcore fan.

can you give a review of Westone 2, and compare to other models both from its category and from cheaper ones (like say re0, eterna etc)?
Will try, no guarantee though.
