Other than that, I like customs very much. Sometimes, I apply a little drop water outside customs to get a total seal that I love. Using them in the gym is not an issue due to perspiration that seal them. Any other suggestions for wearing and maintenance of customs (UM56)? Thanks in advance.

How long have you had these? PM me please.

Yeah, but you never know if that thing floating in the pool is a candy bar or doodie! (Caddyshack)

Spoiler Alert - these Westone 3 are the candy bar: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/5051083-post359.html

I did a comparison between the UM2 and the Westone 3 yesterday night for 3 hours. I'm embarrassed to write about it... The 3 is ridiculously awesome.

I'm thinking hard about the words to describe it so it doesn't come out too... I don't know.

Well I'm going to publish it tonight on the site and on the blog. I will try my best to curb my excitement. It's not easy...

I'm working on it - see the "spoiler alert" link right above your post for a preview of my thoughts.

We all worked really hard to get everything out today and we did it!

But... because of that, the UM2 vs. Westone 3 Comparison will be posted most likely on Sunday night. Sorry...

So Am. Techpushers, when do I get my Mini-box-D?

This is going to sound like a spoiled child question and I am sorry. I am asking more out of curiosity.

On the other currently running Weston thread on headfi some people got their 3's on Friday. They seem to come from a particular dealer. Is that dealer in violation of the release agreement with Westone?

I originally thought I would possibly get mine on Friday but then understood they would ship on Friday. I can wait until Tuesday, that is fine, just surprised to see that some or a dealer got them and shipped them the same day.

Once again just curious!

To those who got them congrats and enjoy!

Not sure some customers got them from us, but please let me explain what could have happened:

We sent an email on Thursday evening explaining the following:

"To customers with active Westone 3 orders at Earphone Solutions:

You may have already received or you will receive an email today with a tracking number showing shipping date of November 26 or November 25.

That only happened because we have pre-printed all shipping labels between yesterday and today due to limited capacity in processing everything right after the Thanksgiving holiday, however all packages will leave our Florida location on Friday, November 28th which is the Official Release Date for the Westone 3 so please take that in account when calculating the transit time for your shipping method:

OVERNIGHT: Monday delivery
2 DAY: Tuesday delivery
RUSH: Around next Wednesday
FREE: Around next Thursday / Friday

International Mail: 5-25 days (depends on customs, etc.)
FedEx: Delivery around next Thursday.

We feel very confident you will enjoy your new Westone 3 as much as we do and wish you and your family Happy Holidays.

Thank you so much for your support!"

Well, some of the Westone 3 packages that were already labeled got mixed up with our daily shipments and went out Wednesday and we apologize for the mistake.

While every one was enjoying their Thanksgiving with their families and most of every one else (including dealers) did not work Thursday and Friday, we started working on Tuesday to make sure all orders would go out on Friday. We worked Tuesday, Wednesday, part of Thursday (we had a very short Thanksgiving lunch on account of this) and Friday until 9:00PM (only stopping for lunch at 5:00PM).

We had a very large allocation and had to fulfill many times more of what our daily normal capacity is.

In the process of trying hard to make all orders out on Friday, some of them slipped through and got picked up by the carrier on Wednesday.

There were no favoritism and no intention of wrongdoing. ALL our customers are special to us.

Thanks again for your support and sorry for any inconvenience.

Stunning performance Flavio !

I ordered my W3s Friday am (UK time); it's now Saturday evening and FexEx tracking shows they have already arrived in the UK and cleared Customs... should arrive not later than Tuesday, maybe even Monday !

Best regards,

Kevin

Flavio, you were not who I was speaking about. The fact that you wrote your response speaks volumes about your integrity

Has anyone received their Westone 3 (pre-order or otherwise) or a tracking number from AmericanTechPushers? I haven't received any word from them since re-submitting my pre-order card details a couple of weeks ago...
