Westone 3 Update - May 9, 2008

Dear Westone Customers:
 
I would like to apologize for the delay in releasing the Westone 3. We value you as our customer and understand your concerns about the introduction schedule for this product.
 
Although we have been testing and refining prototypes of the 3 for the past year, the pre-production units have not met our performance expectations. Rather than release a product that might be “good enough,” we recently decided to redesign certain aspects of the product.
 
While we remain committed to the project, we are not prepared to release a product that does not meet Westone’s standards of excellence and performance. We take full responsibility for the delay and we will provide more information later this year.
 
Given the lead times necessary for the redesign and production tooling, we do not expect to release the product until late 2008 at the earliest.
 
Sincerely,
Lynn Kehler
President
