Hey Doug, thanks for letting us check out the 3 yesterday. It certainly is a great sounding product, and I'd have to have a long and hard comparison with the Shure E500 to figure out which one I prefer (I like both more than the UE Triple-fi). Just to publicly restate a bit of what we discussed, I though the highlights of the 3 were the amount of texture and detail in the bass, without losing an impactful and dynamic presentation; and the midrange which was ever-so-slightly upfront, making for an engaging listen. I look forward to the eventual release of the 3 to see how it does. My preference for color would probably be gunmetal.

Also, Doug, I think you do a great job representing Westone, and you were a real pleasure to meet and converse with. Westone should be proud to have you as part of their team.
