Now, I will get custom IEM.
Candidates are UE 11 pro or Westone ES3X.

I know charecters of UE 11 pro and Weston ES3X.

Please teach me your impression if you have.

there's some good info and impressions of both in this thread:
http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f103/u...e-es3x-411585/

The bottom line seems to be that there is no clear winner. The UE 11 seems to have more bass and better highs while the ES3X supposedly has killer mids and is still good in the other aspects, both seem to have almost the same soundstage, seem to get different opinions on that one (although I think the UE 11 edges ahead with soundstage). I think which is better for you would depend on what you like. If your deciding between the 2 then I guess price is a non-issue, so I honestly think they are in the same league with one another in that case. So far I think only digihead has both. I'd like to hear both but no way am I spending that much

Yep, forgot that one. Actually, I think digihead has all 3? (UE10, UE11, ES3X)
