"I love the way my new monitors from Westone sound. I can hear every member of my
band, my piano, and my vocal without any difficulties. The sound is warm and full…
especially with the dual drivers. After playing a 2-hour show on tour, my ears never
feel tired."

"I never go on tour without my Westone ES2 Musicians' Monitors. After 30 years of
high-energy rock and roll touring, I have finally found the monitor sound I've been
searching for. My musicians' monitors have certainly made my job a lot easier."

"What really sets Westone ahead of the crowd is customer service, the service and support
we get from them is top notch. When we decided to move the band from universal in-ears
(UM1/UM2) to custom molds, Doug really took the time make sure each member was
completely satisfied with the fit and performance of each earpiece. From universal ears to
custom molds, Westone has provided me with the tools to give my band a consistent
monitoring solution that sounds great and is rugged enough to survive the rigors of
touring."

"When we started using in-ear monitors on the road, I was skeptical. I figured nothing
could sound better than a pair of old-fashioned wedges blaring back at you. But I was a
convert the first time I used my Westone monitors. I was impressed most with the tight,
full, round bass response. How can a sound so BIG come out of something so small? The
tone is complete and balanced all across the board, and brought to life by the total
isolation I get from my molds. Now I can hear myself in a completely different way than
with conventional monitors. The better you hear, the better you play... end of story."

"After 15 years of singing together on different stages, with and without in-ear monitors,
we've heard it all. The good, the bad and the ugly. One listen to our new Westone in-ear
monitors and we realized what we've been missing. We look forward to the years to
come with our Westone in-ears."

"I have nothing but good things to say about my Westone in-ear musicians' monitors.
They sound great and the fit is wonderful. Because mine are the soft inner pieces with the
hard outer visible part, (great job on the color, guys) I do not get that moment of massive
stage volume whenever I turn my head to the side. Thank you for helping to make my
job easier."

"I've never been impressed with the sound of IEMs. That was before I tried Westones.
Now I can feel the kick drum and the bass. I'm so impressed with the clarity, sound and
comfort… and, of course, the cool look. The isolation onstage literally makes me feel as if
I'm in the studio. Now I use my Westone monitors every chance I get… I even used them
in the studio for recording.

"I ordered a pair of ES2s and I can't imagine doing the gig without them. No matter how
poor the acoustics are on stage, no matter were I roam on stage (and I roam a lot), my
bass is roaring, playing with Jeff's kick drum is a breeze and singing with Paul is, well, a
dream. Thank you Westone!"

"I did a lot of research and, after talking to people that I trusted would give a reliable
and unbiased recommendation, I decided on Westone. If I was going to move to another
product I wanted the best. Westone made me a pair of ES2s last year and, man, it was
another world in audio reproduction. Being a drummer I wanted that really big bottom end,
and I am extremely happy with the results. I get every thing I need to hear with a lot
more tone and feel, and I am also able to use a lower volume setting at the same time. I
would recommend Westone to any artist who demands excellence in the product and
product support."

"Monitoring is everything to Building429. If we can't hear well, we can't hope to sound
good. From the first time that Dale brought the Westone UM2s to us, we put our Shure
E5s up for sale and never looked back. Now that we've moved to the (custom) molded
ES2s, we're living a live music dream. Our ES2s are smooth as silk and are the closest
thing to perfection that we've ever heard. We love them and we can't live without them.
Rock on Westone... your products smoke the competition."

"I love my Westone ES3s. I play a lot of different instruments on stage and my ES3s
provide the flat response & clarity I need to support all the different frequency ranges
that I find myself in. Everything from bass guitar to pedal steel guitar cuts through the mix
just the way I want it to."

"Westone has it goin' on: A staff that cares and goes above and beyond the call to

they put me 6 feet under!"

"We just returned from a week of concerts in coastal California. The UM1's were
awesome!!! We purchased extra yellow foam, comply short and comply long tips, so
that the UM1's were perfect fits for everyone. We are using a wired rig that is very easy
to set up and is very reliable. They sound great!! Thank you very much for making a
great sounding totally acoustic gig possible."

"I have tried many different in-ear monitors, but Westone is the only company that
makes a true triple driver which boosts the mid range frequencies that singers need
most. Other companies claim to do what Westone does without the results. Westone's
advanced technology combines with an unsurpassed sound quality and personal touch
makes your choice easy."

"No question about it, using Westone in-ear musicians' monitors has greatly improved
the quality of our performances. And, with a lower stage volume, we get a much better
front-of-house sound! I can't believe we ever used floor monitors when there was a
product like Westone's waiting to be found."

"I have been using in-ear monitors now for about four years. This summer I jumped

The clarity and overall true music response and accuracy was more than expected. I

"My first set of custom in-ear monitors were UltimateEars UE5's. That was eight years ago.
They were made at Westone. I just got my newest and best set of in-ear monitors,
Westone ES3's, also made at Westone. I don't think that there needs to be anything more
said...or I think that says it all."

"Westone custom molded in-ear monitors rock! We've been blessed to be using them
since June and we just can't live without them now. The team at Westone was so easy to
work with and their product quality is just superior. With our three part vocal harmonies
we had to have something reliable and accurate for our live shows... Westone delivers
exactly what we need."

"I love Westone and I'm honored to be part of this company. Superb sound and fit.
But what really makes this company so special are the people running it. They excel
at their artist relations. Both Dale and Doug are the kindest people I've met in the
business. They truly care about their artists and go out of their way to work with them.
Only a few days before hitting the road last summer, I sent my ES2s in for repair.
And with time to spare before leaving, they were back in my hands. How's that for
service?! I recommend Westone products to everyone I come across."

"I play with your earplugs and swear by them. I play large festivals with huge PAs and

"I work in a big music store that doesn't carry Westone products, but most of the other
brands of in-ears. When customers ask what is the best sounding in-ear musicians'
monitors, I actually send them to Westone's website."

"I just received and used my UM2's today. I was skeptical of in-ear musicians' monitors,
as I had used some several years ago and was not impressed. They were thin sounding
and very uncomfortable. Your UM2's sound great! The low frequency response is superb
and the frequency range is crystal clear. I found the comply canal tip inserts very
comfortable. I am a sound engineer and have special difficulties in my environment that
made a monitor queue wedge impractical, (which the UM2's were intended to replace).
These sound better than my 15" by 1" monitor wedge. I would (and will) recommend
your products to other engineers who have monitoring needs and don't want to make a lot
of extra sound and disturb club patrons with hi SPL monitor wedges. Thank you for your
product."

"Westones rock!!! What else can I say? I use Westone in-ear musicians' monitors in
the studio and live on stage. I've had the same pair of monitors for over a year now.
And with time in the studio and endless touring, they are still holding up great! They do
their job, and they do it right!!! I've finally found a monitor I can trust! Thanx Westone!!!"
