Around four decades ago, Westone Audio began manufacturing custom earpieces and perfecting designs significantly. Throughout the 1980s, Westone Audio developed balanced armature drivers in custom earpieces for musicians and "Walkman" style earbuds. This advancement created the first custom in-ear monitors in collaboration with artists such as Rush and Def Leppard.
Meanwhile, over the next two decades, more collaborations and innovations ultimately delivered the Universal Fit and Custom Fit earphones launching in 2002. Shortly after, Westone Audio began to offer the online customiser and new product lines, making high fidelity listening and custom products more accessible.
With a new state-of-the-art customs lab, Westone Audio will continue to lead and evolve the universal and custom monitor industries.
