The Westone MACH range of high-end wired earphones includes eight models.

Westone Audio has today announced the launch of what it describes as “one of the industry's most technologically advanced universal fit earphones”. Backed by more than 35 years of audio engineering, the new MACH Series is a one-of-a-kind product to deliver sound in its purest form at a sensible price.

At the upper end of the earphone market are in-ear monitors or IEMs. These are usually custom-fit earphones often fitted with an array of balanced armature drivers and a price tag that could make Madonna’s eyes water.

Now Westone has announced that its new MACH range of IEMs will bring the kind of performance levels normally only available with custom-fit IEMs. Unlike custom-fit IEMs, the new MACH range offers a universal fit and a more affordable price.

The entry-level MACH 10 offers a taste of what IEMs can sound like.

The Westone MACH range consists of eight separate models ranging from the entry-level MACH 10 model, with its single balanced armature driver, all the way up to the flagship MACH 80 with no fewer than eight balanced armature drivers and a quad-twisted cable with a super-low impedance of just .6Ω. Within the MACH range of IEMs, there’s bound to be a model to suit most tastes and most pockets.

Jason Kidd is the president and CEO of Westone and he says: “The MACH Series product combines over 35 years of engineering experience and tens of thousands of performance hours to capture this unique and true sound. These sound signatures were previously offered exclusively in our professional custom in-ear monitors, but now can be experienced by every listener.”

The MACH range is specifically designed to bridge the gap between high-end professional performance IEMs costing a small fortune and off-the-shelf earphones. The MACH range has a unique ergonomic fit that makes all the models ideal for everyday use while delivering pure musical enjoyment.

Pricing & Availability: The Westone MACH series will be available to pre-order in the UK from www.hifiheadphones.co.uk. The MACH IEMs will also be available from Amazon and Gear4Music once stock is available.
