Westone is very serious about providing just about any kind of "In-Ear" product you can think of. (IEMs,ear plugs,hearing-aids...etc.)
They can not only be found through on-line retailers,but you can find them from an extensive network of hearing care professionals (Where
you can have molds taken of your ear canals sent to Westone so they can make you Custom - Fitting IEMs.)
Years ago before I discovered that my ear canals just have too high a sensitivity to tolerate any thing other than earplugs in them for
over 3hrs or so, I went the custom fit route. They were absolutely the ultimate "noise isolation" product I'd ever tried . The funny thing is that unless you are using "custom fits" for studio work ,you probably should'nt use them if you care to have any awareness of "anything"going on "outside of your Noggin"
The Non Custom Fit series are as good as just about any other available IEMs out (better balanced than most). If I were still interested in
portable listening I know I would look at the Westones first (Shure maybe second) for high qualitiy IEMs. Knowing me though, I would end up looking at a $3k or better portable rig. I just remind myself of my sensitive ear canals & I'm fine, that is until I notice someone using a nice portable rig. (walk away , Steve ...)
