Is it feasible to have production runs of clear and black because let's face it, no matter what westone do, someone will be unhappy.

That way, people can get what they want... (I mean, there are clear and black UM2s)

How about some references, otherwise this sounds like something that happened in schoolboy dreams.

Besides, everyone knows "The Valley" ain't that bad.
Yea, I guess my post looks pretty negative.

Sequoia Junior High School, Reseda. 1965-66 It actually happened after I moved to Canoga Park and went to Hughes. The guy was a real dick. I'll see if I can look it up myself.

Where I went to high school, in Red Bluff, Calif, there were guys bigger than many normal men. They took a real dislike for the vice principle and gave him a blanket party one night. I saw him the next day with both eyes blackened and bruised. We all knew who did it, they guys would smack girls around if they didn't give them what they wanted, but couldn't prove it. It didn't make the news but was real. A death is much more serious but I have seen "news" events overlooked and this doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Any news on the custom 3's? Can we go get impressions made now and sent to you guys at Westone to have on file for when you get around to releasing the custom 3? I'm looking forward to being able to see the audiologist for a pair .

I can't believe anyone is saying they prefer the E4 to the E500! Unfathomable to me, but I guess we all do have different ears It did have a lot of hype that it didn't live up to, but I've seen few products in my (relatively short) lifetime that actually have. I think they were worth the wait.

I agree, but at least with this product it isn't "out there" being touted as a UE-10 killer. The only hype seems to be our faith that Westone will deliver a great sounding IEM.

That's because Radtech has obviously figured out where you're warehousing the ones that have come off the production line already
