Hello,   Just received this message from Earsonics:   "Hi   Very good news ,  the price of velvet will drop to $ 699, as of January 22, 2015"   And on their website, there's a christal version of the velvet:   http://www.earsonics.com/ecouteurs-premiums/velvet/

You are welcome Terry... I hope to ear one soon and peraps give some impressions for those who are interested....

Here are the Velvet:     http://www.earsonics.com/ecouteurs-premiums/velvet/     An universal with the possibility to switch to 3 distincts sound signatures....   From what I know, it's the first time that such concept is created (3 in 1).        Sensibility: 116 dB/mW Frequency...

Perhaps but not sure... ES never made hybrid models before... 

Coming on 30 september.....   Don't know a lot more about it....except the fact that it seems possible to tune the sound signature up....           http://www.earsonics.com/

Hello,   For those interested, you can now buy the SM 64 on Amazon.com   http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M75QH6M/ref=s9_simh_gw_p23_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=027M902TYN00R8HHEXRN&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1688200382&pf_rd_i=507846     Bye.

Very beautiful S-em 6 packaging comming with new commands...  

Hello, I had the W3 and the Um3x and all I can say (and I'm not the only one) is that the Sm3 sounds much better for my tastes so, for me (and for others), it would be nice to compare the W4 to the Sm3 also in term of soundstage, instrument separation, liquidity, speed, dynamism... and not...

Hello Shigzeo,   Are the W4 easy to drive or do they need an amp to show their full potential? Do you think that a "simple" cowon J3 unamped will drive them without any problems?   I am one of those who think that the concept of portability is important and don't like the idea to carry...

Thank you very much for your prompt answer Shigzeo,   I didn't say that I want to buy it...;-)   But from my first Shure SE-310, I always wanted to upgrade to a better IEM and I'm used to sell the "previous" IEM for the new one...But I really don't want to buy customs...   Perhaps I...

Thank you very much.

Hello Shigzeo,   It semms that you are the only one who listened to both Sm3 and W4.   For me, if I can say that, the Sm3 are a kind of UM3X with more air, depth, soundstage, instrument separation and dynamism (better for my tastes). How are W4 in these departements?   Is there...

Hello,   I'm new on head-fi, my english isn't perfect so I apologise for the mistakes.   Has someone followed the Westone 4 forums? I own the Earsonics SM3 and I really love it (more than all the others IEM I owned) but I wonder if the Westone 4 are better in term of SQ (natural and...

Thank you, Don't worry about my wallet, I sold everything except my SM3... I just wonder If W4 can really do better...:-)

Hello, I am a new member on Head-fi despite the fact that I visit this site since 3 years. This is my first post so I would like to apoligise for my English. I have owned the Shure SE-310, 530, Westone 3, UM3X and now the SM3 that for my tastes, are better than my previous Iems. It would be...
