Apparently EarSonics is releasing new versions of their SM2 and SM3, as well as a new SM1. They have new housings (even more Westone-like than before) and replaceable cables (same as JH/Westone/UE).
I'm not sure if the drivers themselves have changed or if it's only cosmetic.

The new SM3 is retailing at 345 euros, and the old one has been brought down to 289.

Old news but good news. Especially for the people who were dissatisfied with the build quality. As far as the cord I never had a problem with it I wear it how its suppose to be worn.
