We really need to split this thread into two threads. One for all the people who want to be negative and say it's never coming out, and one for all the believers and optimists. I really hate the fact that 90% of the time I check this thread it's just a big bundle of negativity.

Nature of the beast....alot of people are VERY negative about most things here on Head-fi....although, Iw oulda have to say the general population is fairly positive, it's that there's a few that are negative about EVERYTHING that's not in their favor.

mr_baseball: I guess times have changed and Head-fiers are getting laid like champs now. (Except I seriously doubt that's the case given all the anime and computer related threads around here..)
Much like the world at large these days, it's a vocal minority that seems to be heard. It's almost as if they want there to be no product, which makes me wonder why?
I mean yes, it's been a disappointment to some, especially those who placed pre-orders and so on, but I'm pretty sure no one actually has been charged for them yet (and if they have - well that's between them and the company they ordered from). It's not like anyone has died or anything. It is, after all, a set of earphones. Why such resentment?
As rhythmicmoose suggests, perhaps a new thread, maybe in the members lounge, called "I feel that Westone has personally slighted me by not releasing a product until it's ready" or something, where people can moan and groan to their hearts content, and those of us who want to be a little optimistic, well we can just stay out of it...
It's easy to take potshots as Westone, but I for one would rather wait for a quality product than one that was rushed out the door to keep a few persistent whiners happy. The decision to hold the product until it meets their high standards could not have been an easy one, or one that was made lightly. I think it shows they care about their product, and by extension, their customers.

I'm one for waiting with great patience. I really enjoy the UM2's on a nightly basis. They are the comfiest IEM's I've ever used. They may not be the most neutral the most hi-fi sound but they are fun, relaxing and again comfy. If the 3's can improve on the sound while maintaining the comfort I am so in.
I'm so in also, but Im pretty pissed at Westone for making us wait for so long, and Im even pissed-er that powderhound has been dodging this thread for so long. Why would he do that? At least keep us posted, its just good PR.

God bless you and all the other optimists. But it's you guys that are the minority; the reason we "pessimists" (I'd prefer "realists") appear so vocal is because there are so many of us, and our arguments are more convincing and reflective of general sentiment. Perhaps it is you guys that need your own thread.
I really don't see what the "Argument" you have is. There's no resason, apart from presonal dissapointment, that anyone should be mad at Westone. If that's your argument, the one thing you're mad at, well then I'd consider you all take a long hard look at what's going on in the world, and put things in perspective. War, famine oppression, erosion of civil liberties, genocide.. theres a lot more to be mad at than someone not releasing an unfinished product. These are headphones people!
Take a deep breath and smile, it's lovely day. Lets not fight on V-E Day
Have a great day all, be positive
