The way they say conveniently upgradeable makes me think it's definitely the Shure connectors.

Ya. Seems like just a repackage of the UM series. I believe the UM Pro 30 will feature 3 drivers just like the UM3X. Seems to me the cable connector is same as shure but without rotations.

Not sure why Westone is focusing on the Low to Mid price range rather than come up with a new flagship which they can charge $1,299+ for.

Not a lot of ppl willing to fork out that much... imagine 1000+ for low-mid vs <100 for high end... low-mid range can cater to the masses.
