No, you don't move a muscle. Stay in that office and provide the good people here with the version 3. Version 4 can wait, for now.

Sound-wise


They are totally different. The ES3 has a bump in the 3-5k range so it gives the vocals and guitars a much more forward presence. The Westone3 uses different drivers and is a more natural sound, nothing artificial. :wink:

Have you or anyone heard the "new" Sennheiser IE-8's (or even IE-6, IE-7)? If so, how do they compare to Westone 3?

I'm sure I'll give them a listen in October. They use a dynamic driver, so it really comes down to personal taste in the sound. In my personal opinion, balanced armatures provide better clarity over dynamic drivers (in this size range). They are still good sounding product, I love the full size Sennheiser cans.
