Awesome! I'm sure it will be one heck of an IEM. Is this going to be better than the ES2? That was going to be my next move, but maybe not anymore.

Congrats!!! Any sense of pricing? Any promotional pics?

I'm sure this is a very early announcement because I don't see anything about it on your website yet, so if it's too soon to say, then just tell me that I'll need to wait for more info, and I'll patiently do so...

Sweet! It even has a nice short name, unlike Super duper triple fi e550.

Are these going to be a similar size to the UM2's? Also, how do these compare with your customs? Is the sound very close? I'm a big fan of your UM2's. I'm getting the best sleep in 6 years since buying them. However, if I could get a bit better sonics, then why not?!?! If the UM2/3 fit more flush to the ear than the custom models, then I may well have to go for your new 3's!
