Design

First of all, the shells are tiny. They’re made from transparent acrylic, giving you a clear view of the single BA driver inside. The connector sockets here are Westone’s usual T2 MMCX.

I find these minuscule IEMs very comfortable, even during prolonged wearing sessions. The passive noise isolation is excellent (average -25dB), especially if you’re using foam eartips.

The Stock Linum Bax T2 detachable cable is supple and has no noticeable microphonics. It handles well and is very lightweight.

Sound

The Westone Audio Pro X10 has a reference-level linearity. It’s uncoloured and neutral, making it ideal for musicians and music professionals. It has an excellent soundstage, enhanced by great instrument separation and a black background.

The bass is light in quantity but it’s super clean and agile. Sub-bass notes can be heard but not felt, but the mid-bass has some punch and even some ability to cause vibrations in the shells which can be quite immersive.

The midrange is where the Pro X10 flexes its audio muscles. Midrange notes are transparent, uncoloured and have accurate timbre. Vocals sound natural and detailed, albeit not particularly powerful.

The Pro X10’s treble is inoffensive which is ideal for long listening sessions. It’s not sparkly but it’s detailed and airy.

Verdict

The Westone Audio Pro X10 is an excellent tool for musicians and professionals. Its sound signature is very neutral which is great for audio accuracy but the average user might find the sound lacks bass and dynamics.
