Westone Custom IEM Pricing and comparison with UE10/11?

[bobloblaw]

It's hard to find pricing for their custom stuff on their site. I desperately want some molded IEM's, and am wondering how they compare with Ultimate Ears high-end stuff in terms of both price and sound.

It seems like the Ue-10 and 11 seem to get a more attention on the forums, but I wonder how people who have experience with either or both view them. I'm predominantly a experimental rock/indie listener, if that matters. How do they make Radiohead and the Flaming Lips sound (in case there's someone out there who's had this EXACT question before)?

Help is much appreciated.

You can get the westone es2 for around 650.00. You have to deal with a westone dealer like earphonesolutions.com or a local audiologist that uses westone products.

Interesting. Is there variability in pricing among audiologists, then, or is there a SRP that they must all adhere to?
