WESC Headphones

First impressions of the WESC headphones are good.  They are light weight with a nice quality feel to them.  The extenders are smooth and easily operated with a nice sheathed lead which will really reduce the tangle problems you usually get.  For extended distances you are given a 3.5mm female to male extender.   The colour choice are great, funky and fun and definitely got my attention when “browsing”.

When playing music the sound is loud and clear with reasonable to good bass definition.  The tight fit around the head keeps outside sound to a minimum and whilst at high volume there is some sound “leak” it’s pretty good and wouldn’t annoy anyone in an office environment.

Overall they are good.  There are options ranging from £40 to £100 and obviously sound improvment grows with price.  I’d love to test out the “Alp Horn” model but given the price and the inability to test these in the shop I wasn’t going to put out the money for them.  Anything over £60 for a pair of head phones requires on site testing and without I’m not going to bother.  I made that mistake with a £300 pair of sennheiser headphones a number of years ago.
