[nburge]

Hello,

What would you guys choose shure e500 series or westone um3? I'm not sure if you guys have enough info yet on the um3 or if you know something i don't.

Thank You....

Do you guys have any good links and where would you buy yours from?

Just to let you know, the new Westone IEMs are "Westone3" not "UM3" - the UM offerings are a different series. Quote:

The last I read, the Westone 3s are being delayed again, so may not be available until mid-summer.

Some folks have pre-ordered from earphonesolutions; you could try there if you decide to go for the Westone 3s.
