After a brief look at the other place, I found that pretty much everyone praises the W4.
Like the title says, am I the only one who finds the W4 to be shitty?
Let me explain myself before you start hating on me as well. I've owned the ER-4S for many years and I found it to be a rather pleasant sounding "flat" IEM. I've heard that the W4s are tonally similar to the ER-4S but with more bass so I gave them a go. Right off the bat, I've never been so bored with an IEM before. It manages to do everything right to a point, but it doesn't excel in anything. Both the ER-4S and the W4 can be described as "sterile" and/or un-enhanced, but unlike the W4, the ER-4S had this crisp midrange whereas the W4 were boring all around.
If anyone likes the W4 here, please explain to me why you like them so much because the W4 is one of the things that I don't quite understand.
