I nearly bought W3 last week. Luckily i go with ATH-CK100 instead...
I suspect i'm gonna have the same fit issue if i get UM3X.
Nevertheless, Westone still awe me with their new products. What's next? Home DIY kit for ES3X? LOL

lol...not sure...but i checked the diff...it seems the drivers have some extra addition... time to sell my w3?  anyways...it was expected that they have hidden something under their sleeve, those westone freaks...after 2 years of preparation on the W3...they must have expected tough rivalry coming up after the release of the W3...bet this is a counter for the IE8
Added on April 8, 2009, 8:40 amthe good news...price:around rm1,368  This post has been edited by icyfawkes: Apr 8 2009, 08:40 AM |

UM3X is announced just less than 4 months after W3 released. That's fast hahaha
It's the same triple driver, three way crossover setup. Only the sensitivity and freq response changed. Finally a higher impedance top of the line IEM. Sound is reported similar to ES3X, just in universal-fit package. Nice !

Custom ES3X against IE8? Of course it wont stand a chance lol. Maybe custom fitted IE8 will hold on its own. First page update. It look like UM3X appreciation thread. Damn... I need to keep my CK100. It's not even arrived yet but i already think of selling it |

Hahahaha. Patient. I hope i can hold my urge. CK100 probably wont fail me based on multiple reviews. IEM acquisition history since Sept '08: SA6 - 1+ week (broken) UM2 - 1 month TF10P - 3 months IE8 - 2 months CK100 - ? |
