Oh I see! Well, I love the grey (!) sillicones! I think they produce a nice comfort fit. I dislike foams, so I will not even try those! Also, I disliked C751's bass, so uncontrolled! When listening to the W3's I hear a nice and stong pass, but it all fits into place and there is a nice...

Anyone knows what the difference is between the gray and black sillicon tips?

You can buy my C751's for half the money UE-11 Pro's cost! What you get is bass, bass and yet more bass. Uncontrolled, but who cares! I will wait the money!

Tomorrow I will receive my new pair of W3's! I can't hardly wait!

FMA!

Thank you all, I have just ordered the Westone 3's! I used the discount code JULY4 which gave me a nice 12% discount too! I am really excited! Thank you again for your help and I will post my impressions here!

What about the cable length on both? It's the thing I hate the most about my Denon's; without the extension cable it's too short and with it's too long!

I am leaning to W3's, simply because I prefer fun sound over neutral, well balanced sound. Do you prefer the tips that come with it, or should I keep using Shure Olives as I have been enjoying them ever since! I think im going to order the W3's tonight!

I am probably going to use Shure Olives as tips. With this set, do you advice me to buy, either the UM3x or the W3's? #1 Comfort and #2 fun sound are the most important to me. I will not be using any amp, just my iPhone 3GS. And money ain't an issue (my budget is $400). I've been reading...

nvm

Thanks! So comfort wise they are about the same.. Then i should look to SQ and soundstage: i prefer fun sound over super balanced sound, so i guess the W3's will fit that bill the best?
