Hmm I guess Noble and other manufactures with big publicity have much better marketing as website, description, the same model of universal and custom sounds identical (for example W60/ES60 sounds very differently based on reviews here so it is like different model), others also talk a lot with customers on forum, Fb etc. (but truth is Westone do not need it is well known brand and it is in many shops around the world like comercial brand)..
And I think Westone sank himself with their newer line of universal IEM UM50, W50, W60 etc. which seems to be not worth, many people have contradictory opinions on them which is not coincidence. I had UM PRO 50 for 10 days and in my opinion sound was not good, it was so dark almost unlistenable with a lot of songs. And I loved UM3X in past, strange. I believe ES60 is one of the best custom..
But now I want IEM/CIEM again and hard to choose between ES60, K10ua, Harmony 8.2, UERR, Andromeda, Savant..it is a lot of options and hard to know blindly what will be best for me but I believe all will be great
The biggest problem with ES60 - it only being offered as Custom IEM and people can't preview the sound in "universal" fit and wrongfully assume that ES60 is a custom version of W60 which is NOT!!! Regarding Westone, W40/W50/W60/UmPro50 are all warm tuned IEMs, it's their house sound. Some like it, others don't. Just a matter of a personal preference
Regarding you decision, wait about a month or so, I will probably have a comparison of ALL of them (minus UERR, plus U12 and U6).
