$120 CDN all in at HEAR Toronto. You may be able to talk them down on the impressions I think, if you can prove that you can find a better price elsewhere. He deals directly with Westone also so you can get the official UM56 if you want to, but that's most likely going to run you a bit higher. Emsee labs version will be cheaper, will still give you a years worth of warranty and will be local (you'll get it within a week) so it is a good alternative. Give them a call, Ross is a friendly guy and he'll help you out as much as he can.

But but but... when are you actually using them, since you've got the ES3x?

This forum and its alpha denizens still puzzles me.

I only use the W3 when I am out and about and mobile, so that the ES3X can be safe at home with my Macbook rig (Pico DAC-only to ALO Amphora or P-51 Mustang). I don't want to lose or damage My Preciousssss.

So, when my son is doing his golf lessons, or Taekwondo, or the kids are swimming, etc, I am sitting back and enjoying the W3/UM56. But the rest of the time I am in my favorite chair at home listening to the ES3X. I was pretty much neglecting most of my full size headphones by using the ES3X almost exclusively.
