Honestly in the A/B I've done between the ES2 and the new 3, they are pretty close actually. The 3 does have a little more in the highs and the mids are little smoother and more detailed. The ES2 wins in the lower freq's. That is due to the way it was designed and being custom fit, not a fault of the 3. The goal of the 3 was to give a good, full and warm sound that you can really fine tune to the way YOU want to hear them, not the way we think you should hear them. The 3's got a LOT of good reviews from MacWorld this past week and these will be starting to show up in the press and media.
