Maybe the Westone 3 is just vaporware at this point, but you'd think they would notify their resellers if that was the case.
And the strangest thing of all, isn't this a paid-for thread, and won't it time out of they don't keep paying for it? I wonder why they keep it open.
I wouldn't read anything into the fact that they aren't on the CanJam list. We may have managed to miss them when sending out invites. I don't know that for sure at the moment.
maybe someone at westone has been reading this thread and has come to the conclusion that they had enough,
personaly, if my product was so behind, i would stop all publicity and wait for the product to actually reach the manufacturing part of the life cycle before i start shouting about it,
Has anyone noticed the "Westone 3" add on Westone's website before?
It's here: Personal listening earphones & earpieces :: Westone
I realize this doesn't mean much but I don't remember seeing it previously.

It was there months before. I think you missed it.
This may not be the proper forum for this but I'm almost at the end of my options. Anyone in here pre-order from Marcopolo (either from website marcopolo.ca or his ebay auctions)? I have been emailing him at various addresses and have been unable to get a refund for my pre-order. Anyone else have any luck? PM me please.
*EDIT* Promptly received a response to this...got resolved pretty quickly after I posted this ;-)

Glad to hear that your problem is solved. I too preordered from Marcopolo and he's usually fast to respond to emails. Anyway, I'm keeping my order until they ship out (unless Westone pulls out the 3s on their website...).
Well, as the person who won the as-yet-nonexistent Westone 3 at the drawing at the San Jose Head-fest last year, I hope they send me my pair before they give any away at Can-Jam. :-)
Seriously, should I just give up and ask them to send me the UM2? More than a year down the road, I'm starting to wonder whether a bird in the hand is better... on the other hand, I can't exactly complain, since I'm not out-of-pocket here! Here's hoping that good things do, in fact, come to those who wait, and wait, and wait.
I'm in the same boat as you, flohmann, except I'll have to wait a little longer - my prize was for a pair of Custom 3's ! Anybobdy's guess how long I'll have to wait on those gems

All I can say is that when you call Westone, then all they will say is they are close, but can't announce a date yet, and they don't need any beta testers with cash.

Am I the only one who thinks some straight-talk from Westone is seriously overdue? As customers in-the-cue, we haven't learned anything in the last 10 months beyond we were told right after the original recall last May. That's almost a year ago folks, and we're still not past generalities about retooling or packaging issues.
Westone, you don't have to allude to possible delivery dates, but how about opening up the communication channel and giving us more details about what is going on. The level of silence on your end is difficult to interpret. It doesn't come across like you're preparing to launch a product and maintaining customer confidence. It comes across like you've got something to hide, and like we've been hung out to dry.
