    Am I crazy.....

    Clip+ is a good little device. And who knows, after hearing your smartphone through good IEMs, you may want to improve your setup. But some good FLACs on a Rockbox'd Clip+ heard through good IEMs is a beautiful build because its portability is flat-out beautiful while using good quality...

    Cosmic Ears - new CIEM company with great prices (including Hybrid designs!)

    I have to say, I wish they could have kept the entry-level lineup a little longer. $100 CIEMs had the potential to really shakeup the industry. I kept debating whether to get a Pure just so my backup phones would be custom too. But then I mostly want the HY3 like so many people did...right up...

In short: Should I wait for the Cosmic Ears HY3, or grab the Westone 3 while I can afford to, with the possibility that I may need to reshell? I'm looking for a pair...

    The IEM/Portable Headphones Deal Alerts Thread - Closed! Use the Deals Thread III instead.

    FWIW, the ER-23 is available in the not-quite-latest iteration on Amazon for $109 here, so if that is indeed what Amazon plans on offering, it's not quite a good a deal as they'd been offering in years past. And I was SO looking forward to reselling some TF10s!
