The isolation is great, just that the right monitor is slightly uncomfortable, and i can feel the bump if i open my jaw touch the monitor. I'm very tempted to take an exacto knife and just carefully cut off a small piece of the bulge... but i don't know if that would void the warranty ...

refit just seems like a lot of trouble, new impressions, send to westone, and the long wait...
i wonder if powderhound has any suggestions?

guaranty can possibly be avoided! using knive can iritate more your ear canal ...  Ur best bet is to first give a call to Rachelle to Westone Lab (800) 525-5071
 
good luck!

Doug Leavy, although he's been promoted and Rachelle is the one to contact now.

is a total refund possible?

in any case that doesnt solve my problem, I need a good and comfortable customs and I know westone can definitely provide that. I would still prefer to solve it by getting it properly repaired.


I think you have a 90 days period for a refund!
good luck!

Has anyone gotten a pair of ES3X in Vancouver, Canada?
I'm considering a pair but have no idea where to get them. I can order/get ear impression from any of the dispensers listed on the Westone website?


Am from QC, and i will order mine very soon. I will order directly from Westone. why are you not also make your order directly from them??

My ES3X's seal only stays put if I look straight ahead. If I look up, left or right the seal is broken. Does everyones seal stay put when they move around?

I too called Kyle (usually I deal with Dale, however both were perfect with CS), and he mentioned that the seal shouldn't break since my audiologist took the impressions beyond the 2nd bend with an open mouth.

I have an appt with my audiologist today so guess I'll be sending mine back too =(

Felix, I may be going with the Ice Blue too!


I'll go with ice or candy blue for the Left side, and.neon green for the right side. =>  T-Virus + T- Antivirus + With custom logo of the Umbrella Corp. on the faceplate)

FABULOUS, colour is now ice blue with a clear faceplate. Fit is the same, but the monitor fits more flush now. I just wished the clear was more glossy, but no big deal on that. Fantastic build, everything's up to Westone quality. They were even kind enough to send me a extra cable =)



Have you send them with the cable attached with?

yup, this will be the last time. I asked for a remake for the right side.I believe no tweaks can make them sound better since they failed the past 4 times.

I will be really grateful if the re-made side sounds as good as when I first had it, if it doesn't I am hoping Westone do a full refund for me.

its really a pity, such wonderful customs they once were....sigh...

I wish you a good lock for this, last f....time!   :wink:))

Here's a pic of mine.

They are actually not that transparent, it's just the lighting when i took the picture, but you get the general idea.


Wow, what a photographer!  Nice pict here!  Liked, look like your wearing earing aid! Ouch!!!

So smoke isn't transparent? - what cable color is that?

I was planning on getting the clear cord - but heard that the Westone clear cable would actually discolor?



Be aware, that clear cable can turn green with time. Preferably  get  green ES3x then!  :wink:)

I got my ES3X this afternoon! All I can say is WOW! Wide soundstage, really well balanced, and the detail is just amazing. I can't find anything I don't like.

I'm auditioning it with my iPhone playing Dream Theater's Images and Words. Portnoy's drumming never been so energetic, vocals are super clear, and bass and guitar are very well balanced.

I also tried a bit with my PA2v2 Clip+ combo but the PA2v2 gain is still too much (I use it to drive G1A when I'm mobile), need to adjust a bit so it doesn't hiss.



Wow, what an nice piece of choice here! I love it! a popular color indeed!
