Custom 8-driver IEMs Deliver Unrivaled Audiophile Sound
Loaded with eight discrete balanced-armature drivers, ES80 in-ear monitors deliver the most refined listening experience you could ask for. There's nothing like being able to take a true audiophile's dream IEM experience onstage with you, and whether you're performing or enjoying listening to music, the experience ES80s deliver is unparalleled. With dual low and midrange drivers, all the bass and body come through in deeply focused clarity, while four high-frequency drivers lend a level of efficiency and depth of expression that redefines air and top-end precision.

Flex Canal conforms to your ear canal
Westone Audio takes the concept of a perfect fit beyond even their high standard of custom-molded earpieces with their Flex Canal technology. When you insert your ES80s, a firm semisoft canal section slides into your ear canal, providing an exceptional acoustic seal. As the Flex Canal reacts to your body temperature, it softens and conforms to the shape of your ear canal, maintaining its seal but providing additional comfort. You just can't beat the fit, especially for extended wearing.
Built to last with cold-pour acrylic earpieces
Typical earpieces are made using a high-temperature curing process. This saves the manufacturer valuable time, but it produces a somewhat porous earpiece that's neither durable nor as acoustically isolating as possible. Westone Audio's cold-pour acrylic earpieces are far denser than hot-molded types, resulting in superior acoustics, durability, and appearance.
Balanced-armature drivers offer comfort and detail
Unlike traditional earphones, which use moving-coil speakers, Westone Audio's ES80 features their innovative balanced-armature drivers. These remarkably compact and incredibly efficient transducers take up far less space than typical drivers, without losing the slightest bit of sonic detail. What's more, when it comes to multi-driver earphones such as the ES80, the small size of these transducers allows the earpieces to seal well and sit comfortably in your ears while providing superior isolation.
Dual Bore driver separation promotes clarity
Most multi-driver earphone designs feature a single sound port, which forces the sound to sum inside a small chamber in the earpiece. This can cause some fairly strange frequency distortion and dramatically reduce the potential sonic clarity of a multi-driver in-ear monitor. Westone Audio eliminates this phenomenon with their Dual Bore design, which isolates the ES80's compact balanced-armature drivers into separate chambers for high and low frequencies. The result is a beautifully natural and full sound with added clarity across the frequency spectrum.
Replaceable EPIC cable extends earphone life
If you've ever owned a pair of high-end earphones that were rendered useless because of a damaged cable, then you know how frustrating that can be. Westone Audio completely eliminates that issue with their removable EPIC (Earphone Precision Interface Cable) cable, which is easy to replace by hand. And you'll probably never need to replace your EPIC cable, thanks to the durable braided outer layer and aramid fiber reinforcement protecting its flexible, ultra-low-resistance tinsel wire.
