PUBLIC Westone 3 Delay letter from Lynn
Dear Westone Customers:
I would like to apologize for the delay in releasing the Westone 3. We value you as our customer and understand your concerns about the introduction schedule for this product.
Although we have been testing and refining prototypes of the 3 for the past year, the pre-production units have not met our performance expectations. Rather than release a product that might be “good enough,” we recently decided to redesign certain aspects of the product.
While we remain committed to the project, we are not prepared to release a product that does not meet Westone’s standards of excellence and performance. We take full responsibility for the delay and we will provide more information later this year.
Given the lead times necessary for the redesign and production tooling, we do not expect to release the product until late 2008 at the earliest.
Sincerely,
Lynn Kehler
President/CEO
Westone Laboratories, Inc.
I will answer what questions I can on the subject.-

All I can say, that after a year of long listening with these phones for great period of times, they still amaze me in the quality of sound that they produce, I consider my self one of those rare lucky once who happened to get a good taste of the product that will be available for all to be owned. I have never followed this thread, I have no idea as to what is holding what & have no time to read thousands of posts but Weston lll is the only Universal IEM's that puts the big smile on my face. This is coming from a person who owns some of the best custom built IEM's.

Whats going on here, firstly p0wderh0und23 posts his long overdue update stating if true, what he should have posted a long time ago and then Ray Samuels out of the blue going out of his way to state that he has not followed this thread and has no ties with Westone telling us how good they are!!!!
Is it just me or does something smell funny here?
