do they all know who they are or are some of us going to be pleasantly surprised?

It'll all be a big surprise. I'm sure the Custom3's will be a "one size fits all" custom IEM.

LOL. What if one met an unfortunate demise? Bwahahahah ;-)

Looking forward to reading the reviews and comparisons (hope those 10 have the triple.fi and E500 to compare against ;-)

I'm sure they've chosen folk that have heard at least one custom, maybe even no one from Head-Fi (blasphemy!). I hope to hear comparisons to the E500 and UE-10.

The E500 isn't even in the same league as the ES2. I'm sure the Custom 3 will be at least as good as the ES2, more than likely better. Wouldn't mind seeing a comparison between the ES2, Custom 3, and UE-10.

I imagine it is, just haven't had a chance to hear them (obviously, haha). I've heard great things about Westone customs, so I'll wait for them before making a decision between the 3 and the UE-10.

I'm assuming that with customs, a better fit equals a better seal equals better sound. But is that the only reason, or are there other differences in terms of construction/drivers/etc. ?

I'm not sure if this is mentioned in previous post and it's too many for me to read thru all.

What kind of soundstage is expected from Westone 3? Will it be similar to UM2? Vocal front and music more laid back?

Has anyone heard of these being shipped? I ordered from americantechpushers yesterday and on the site it says I won't be billed till they ship... I got billed today for the total amount. I didn't think they were shipping ALREADY.
