CanJam 2010: First Wave

So the annual Head-fi.org meeting, CanJam 2010 @ Chicago already officially kicks off this this weekend. Here are two news that you might find interesting:

First, this is the demo unit for the upcoming JH Audio JH3A that I have covered previously. Note the bulk of the cable and connectors. Since you need multiple separated channels from the JH3A to the earpiece, it does seem to be a little bulky on the outside. Well, we audiophiles will do anything for the name of good sound.

Here is the 'bomb' from Westone - the new ES5, a 5 transducer per side custom IEM to challenge JH Audio and UE domination over the current multi-ways custom IEM market. Not much is know at this point, but I am sure you can find the spec of it on Westone website by early next week.
