That's what I was thinking, given the length of the delay... and that sort of packaging issue certainly could affect the sound.

Then again, maybe they just got sued by Paramount for the Klingon-looking logo

sorry buddy, maybe next year

still no news from westone bout the 3s huh?

 

[Trager]

If they don't come out till next March (which isn't beyond possibility at this point, I think), I propose that Westone should change the name to the Westone 4s in honor of them being a year older.

First post in 2 years! (Long time reader though)

Well, I preordered them on the first week of May and paypalled it already because I thought I would get it around the end of month for my birthday. It is the first time I ever preorder earphones and I want to try something else than my Etys ER4P & Shure E3C. My expectations were and are still high. As most of you, I am disappointed with the delay.

Anyway, I have been following the thread all the time. In fact, I red almost every post on head-fi about the 3s before preordering. Let's hope Westone deliver the earphones quality up to par if not better than those who have a chance to listen to them. But, most importantly, give us some news! Any news is good (even delays)...

I don't plan to request a refund from Paypal anytime soon. It is not like I have much choice because I only have 60 days to get a refund.

That's usually not phrased as "packaging" issues in the engineering world. That's usually called a "design flaw" and is I suspect what the actual problem is...something comes loose easily (can't be manufactured w/ consistency) or fails quickly (bad hardware part that burns out quickly).

Packaging usually refers to the stuff it ships in.

At any rate, I hope they fix the issue soon. I'm starting to lean towards the Shure E500 but would prefer testing out a real 3-way driver first...

3-way drivers are so yesterday, why not get a 4-way driver for just about $1K (UE11)?

I wonder how it feels to get an accidental cut (cuts!) w/16 blades? LOL

try $1150! They'll be giving away free artwork (on the buds) with the first batch. 4 drivers, 3 way crossover.

The lack of any communication from powderhound is really unsettling. Delays are a part of life around here, and I reluctantly have to accept that; but I do not understand why we have been totally cut off and taken out of the loop... Throw us a bone here!!!!!!!!!!!
