You are completely incorrect.
Shure Incorporated was founded in 1925, and has never been owned by anyone other than Mr. Shure (who passed away in the 1990's) or his wife (Mrs. Shure, who is alive and well). We have never "been a part" of any company. We are a privately owned company, and always have been.
Westone co-developed the E1 (now discontinued) and the first version of the E5 with us. If you search Head-Fi for more history you will find it - I'm not going to get into all of that again.
Would you mind stating where you heard that Shure was a part of Westone? I'm intrigued.
