Besides for posting all the necessary specification of the Westone 3, we found a few pieces of useful review and would like to share with you guys.  Due to the fact that the review is too lengthy, we had selected several paragraphs, which we hope, can serve as a useful opinion before you decide to purchase.

“The new Westone 3, a true three-way universal fit earphone, featuring separate low, mid and high frequency drivers in each earpiece. The sound accuracy and frequency range is unbelievable…”

“The new Westone 3 is the result of over 45 years of making products for the human ear and 20 years of involvement in the music industry…”

“There is nothing I have heard to date the sounds better across the spectrum in universal fit IEMS than the 3’s. The 3s, IMO beat the E530s across the board and yes again IMO even in the mids.. the highs are the best I have heard to date (over an ER4P or S), the bottom is just superb and the fit in my ear with the mid soft flex tips is about as perfect as I have found to date. I like the olives but they get messed up and the soft flexes seem to slip in and out easy with a solid feel….

….Both are very comfortable, but I would have to say that after an hour the Westones just completely disappear.. the Shures you always know are there but stay comfortable. Both have good isolation, but again the Westones for me using soft flex tips beat out the Shures with Olives….

….but in my mind there is clearly a new champion for universal fit IEMS, regardless of driver count or cost, these 3’s are just superb. Every IEM I have listened to has holes, My new X10s, ER4P/S, E530, IM760 all of them.. The 3’s just do everything so well and I cannot tell where the cross over points are none of the 3 armatures stand out, they all just work flawlessly together and I get the crisp highs, the smooth mids and the tight bottom end that I have been looking for….

Again, hats off to Westone for taking the heat and waiting to get these right, its clear that everything they wanted is in the final product. Superb product that easily worth the full price of 399 USD, compared to even discount prices for the 530 they are a great value.”  (Sourced from Google, written by Christopher Masten,)

“I want a balanced sound that perhaps offers the SE530s’ outstanding soundstaging but with tighter, less-intrusive bass, plus most importantly a clearer, fuller, more prominent midrange, and the “airy” extension on the highs that probably only electrostatic sound can provide.”

In fact, the 3s are almost too good for portable devices. If you don’t believe me, run them through a high-end home system. I’ve been doing both and have been tremendously impressed with how they sound within my Jsystem. Oh, and also when connected to an iPod. Almost forgot!

Once again, the bass is tight. It neither intrudes upon nor overwhelms the mids. It’s…balanced. Well, of course! However—as John Belushi used to say—“But, Noooo!” It just doesn’t happen that easily. As I mentioned in my UM2 discussion, bass is a tricky thing to balance in speakers and headphones, particularly in classical music recording. Because Westone have “balanced” the bass here, the most important area of music reproduction, the midrange, is left free, warm and detailed. And the difficult high end is revelatory. By that I mean, I’m hearing high detail that I knew was there in pieces I’m very familiar with but didn’t always hear via iPod…

…Thank you, Westone. That doesn’t sound sufficient for what you’ve done here, but I don’t know what else to say."  (sourced from Google, written by Giovanna Visconti)
