Thanks i really think these stand out from the other Westones
W3+UM56 tips brings midrange more forward and assures ZERO siblance. Very good investment to bring W3 up even a few more notches.
Anyone plan to give the W3 Gold limited edition a listen to see if there's a big difference?

Absolutely, the UM56 and W3 were made for each other, but I also really enjoy the W3 with the Complys foam tips as well. It's crazy that three years later I still have good things to say about them. I have the Gold Edition Limited for myself, and I'm giving a pair of W3 to my son this Xmas. These are a really fun IEM to use un-amped with todays popular music and EDM, but I still think they offer a good view into classical and jazz music too. You might say, the W3 are to universal IEM what the UE11pro are to customs.
Just thought I'd share this with other W3 lovers. Earphone Solutions have a deal going on with W3. http://www.earphonesolutions.com/w3gold.html
I found it on their facebook page and tried the coupon and it still works as of now. When using the coupon W3GOLD the W3 end up being $240. To me that's a very good price and I decided to pick up a pair. I know that now some models are better than the W3 but at that price I believe I can't go wrong.
It's been a day and a half since you posted this, but mine totaled to $279. That's about the price of the UM2's on Amazon though, so I pulled the trigger anyway. Thanks for posting! I'm excited to see how they stack up against the GR07 MK2 I've been using (which are awesome, not gonna lie - just getting bored and looking for a new signature to try out). I expect more bass out of the W3 after reading what everyone has to say about them.
There's also the code BOXING that gives 20% off
I came across a cheap pair of Westone 3 and i took the plunge. Was looking to improve my workout gear (iPhone 5s + Shure SE215).
I was kind of wary about sibilance, midbass and isolation/fit but i think the headphoneaddict was spot on.
Went straight with the Westone True-Fit tips and got excellent isolation/fit and a sound that exhibits zero sibilance and that is more balanced than i thought it would be. Sure mids are not as forward as those of the SE535 or UM3x but overall i don't think of it as an steep v shaped sound.
Very happy camper thanks to Headphoneaddict. If it was not for trusting his assessment i don't think i would have jumed on these.
