Those are the only ones I haven't tried.
I'll try em out today.

I ordered these on a whim because of the 50% off discount code that still worked a few days ago. I received them yesterday
What are you guys using as a portable source for these? I will likely start off using my phone but plan to get a cowon J3. Do they need an amp or is a PMP enough to power these?
Nope, I'm sending these back. I find them fatiguing. Spikes in the upper mids and treble.
With my UM3X, I can sit and listen to music for hours... with these, I've had enough after 30 mins.
I'm no expert but wouldn't burning them in for like 100 hours like most have said and listening then be wise before making a final decision?
You would have to go to an authorized westone audiologist. A dealer can be found here. They will take your impressions and send them to westone on your behalf. You will be able pick them up from the audiologist as well. From what I have read prices can very from each dealer so it might not be worthwhile. If you do, I would highly recommend getting the ottoblast material as it is the only material that doesn't shrink over time.
1964 ears is also another option. They charge $100 for the custom tips but you will have to send them your impressions and your earphones.
FA foams are the best but if you want to try some others, earportz and klipsch gels work well too.
