I figured even Westone is moving to the MMCX style, so that would make the most sense.  I would basically want a MMCX connector so that I can use a headset cable with the Triple.Fi10.

When they do the re-shell, do they use the same cable?  Is it possible to go from a the original Triple.Fi cable to a shure style connector for example?

For what it's worth, I contacted them regarding the difference between the W10 and W1 and they said this:   " Their drivers will be configured the same, the changes are mostly cosmetic."   Not sure if this applies to the other models.

So talking to Westone, the only difference between the W1 and the W10 is the cable and the casing style, but the price difference is 100 dollars.  Does that seem worth it?

Looks like I could also preorder the westone w10.

I am looking for a new pair of in ear headphones.  I have about a 15 minute walk to the subway, and about a 25-30 minute subway ride to work, so I need something that can withstand it getting caught on something on the subway or jammed in my pocket.  It probably wouldn't hurt if it could...
