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.
i echo what iron_dreamer says about the westone guys...i can't remember who it was i spoke with at macworld, but he was a pleasure to talk to and talking with him was just as enjoyable as listening to the 3 itself. :0

It was my pleasure to meet all of you too. I'm hoping to get to the National Meet as well. Your feedback on the "3" in invaluable and we thank you all for your honest feedback on the sound quality. We are still finalizing accessories and colors so I will be passing this along to the team.
Trying to weed through all of the threads, I didn't see the info.. but,
Are you saying it's not worth it to purchase the ES2's with the new 3 coming out? I understand the ES2s offer better isolation, but if the SQ is near or better, what would be the point in purchasing the customs? Also, does this mean the ES2s are going to be phased out? The ES3s would be the other alternative, but from what I read they're not geared towards everyday listening. (?)

I know I was on my soapbox a couple of threads back, but can I get an answer please?!!? I need to make an important decision!
Are the 3's designed to compete against UE-10's? Just wondering what it will compare too sound sig wise in the UE line?
