Maybe there not aiming them at professional musicians. The process of custom molds can be a turn off for everyday audiphiles. I for one am looking forward to these and cant wait.

Is that like the UE-5 Ambient's?

Probably. I don't exactly know how this thing works anyway. Just the general idea and suppositions.

so the guy from the paris apple expo did not tell me something wrong (except the name E6)

so if he still was true about the rest, he told me that when the E500 (aka E6) comes out the price of the E5 should drop (meaning that the E5 should still be produced)

Custom molded IEM's are still a TINY market. Shure is more consumer oriented, and I think this product is well placed, and should do very well.

Yah, I also agree. The custom molded IEM has no resale values. I think this will be particularly interesting to some people.

agree, there's always room for high-end universal-fit IME. Many ppl just don't like custom molded.
