I will be receiving my SD3 this week. But I do not know why people always want to compare ALL iems. Some are just not comparable.

Where did you get them?
 
I am waiting for your impression and then decide which StageDiver to grab.

If I may, they're probably most concerned with perspective, and whether or not the product in question is worth x amount over one(s) they currently own. Just as one example, as often as arbitrary numbers get tosses around (x is such and such % better than y), it still provides prospective buyers some perspective, which may or may not ultimately push them over the fence.

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed and cheering from the sidelines so that the K3003s at least manage to do reasonably well on the design / aesthetics, packaging and carrying case categories.

Would the all important women attracting category be included under Design/Aesthetics?

Yeah SD2 and 4.Ai would be a good comparison.

Roll on the impressions! Updated the OP with a link to Ultrazinos reviews and changed the thread name to something more appropriate.
 
I´m in particular interested in how the SD3 compares to: IE800 (Sennheiser of course), FitEar TG334, AKG K3003. And how the SD2 (some good comparisons already on Ultrazino´s thread though) compares to the usual more or less neutral IEMs.

SD3 and TG334 for me

 

[Ultrazino]

SD-3 vs SE846 will be very interesting!
I can easily tell that when SE215 goes to church, he seeks answers from SD-3.

Aesthetics will be a close one.

Look lovely. Can`t believe I have got to the point where a weird shape of resin makes me happy but.... oh and a cable....
 
At least I can get away with watching audio porn....

Bought the last stock from thomann. And now we wait .

Is the tuning similar? I´m a huge fan of the SE215´s tonality. It´s just that technically it can´t hold up with higher end gear, but the boosted bass works well with the Shure style boosted mids and somewhat rolled off highs.
 
At this point it seems very likely that I´ll buy a StageDiver... Which one though, that I don´t know yet!

 

[Gilly87]

Yeah if it's a big-boy SE215 then it will probably be my next on. I love the SE215's tonality as well, my favorite to date. Just wish it had better treble presence; otherwise it's perfect. The original reason I chose the UM3X is because it has a slightly similar tonality to the SE215.

They arrived at my office. Got them straight from Marco at inear. Will be able to listen to them tomorrow as I am on a business trip. If they sound like 334 with tighter bass...I am sold

 

[vrln]

Please compare them to the IE800 (from memory is ok) when you have some extra time. Very interested in your findings!

Hmm... I doubt it — the K3003 sounds awful, but I do think it looks ever so slightly nicer than the SD-2 / SD-3

Not to me.  I much prefer the organic custom style look; to my mind it suggests greater comfort.  Also, every time I look at the AKG I think: "$1000+ and the cord isn't detachable.... really?"
