Summary: superb sound and great value
Comment: Being a Juilliard graduate, I have a need for pure music reproduction. Living in New York City, I also have an absolute need for sound isolation in earphones, which can only mean sound-isolating earbuds.
Being a bit of a connoiseur of earbuds, I own the Shure E5C and SE530, Westone UM2, ER4 and 6. Because of the Klipsch legend in speaker design, I took a flyer on their Custom 3. They are superb.
I chose the Custom 3 over the Image because I prefer the buds that fit the ear like a hearing aid, sitting in the ear canal, rather than the type that stick out of the ear. I never seem to feel comfortable with the latter type, get a good fit, or feel they sit securely. For that reason, I find that I never use either of the ER's. Without all of these re requirements, good sound reproduction is not possible in a bud.
The Custom 3's are warm, bright, and offer resonant bass -- not to mention a spacious sonic field and beautiful instrument placement. For me, as one experienced in earbud fitting, they required no special attention to fit except to substitute the large eargels for the medium which come attached in the box. I don't generally care for the double-flange type as they seem to make for an artificially dampened sonic field and collect earwax inordinately.
The Custom 3's are very lightweight, are no more prone to microphonics than any other bud, and seem very sturdy. I love the hardwire around the ear which makes finding the right ears a breeze. Love the E5C's for the same reason: no fumbling!
I would say the sound of the Custom 3's equals or surpasses both the Shure and Westone models, for significantly less money. I have already ordered a second pair (also have two of the E5C's). Like to have backup!
Bravo to Klipsch for giving us such another beautifully engineered product. Love the demo video, too. Very droll!

Summary: Excellent In Ear headphones
Comment: I've had the klipsch custom 1's for about 3 weeks and i absolutely love them. I previously had some shure's that had broken, i really think the klipsch are much better made. The cord on the klipsch headphones are really nice, they're made of clothe. The problem i had with the shure's was the cord that goes over your ear started to break where it bent. I don't think the custom 1's will have this problem because of the pliable plastic over that part of the cord. I am not an audiophile, i'm just an average music listener, but i think these headphones sound great. They also isolate the sound well so they're great for train rides on the el in chicago. Overall i'm very satisfied with my purchase. Buy them on Amazon, not from apple, I saved about $40.

Summary: Amamzing!
Comment: Very important! You must find the perfect ear gel for your device. There are 3 different sizes in the package. Try all of this! You will feel the difference! First I was disappointed, but I kept trying and now I use the biggest ear gel. It's perfect! Sound really nice and powerful. It has a flex wire for a custom fit around your ear. It is really important, but a bit uncomfortable, especially if you are in your bed. You should keep an original earphone near to your hand as well...

Summary: Perfect for what I need it for.
Comment: Nothing more than perfect for what I need it for...
AMAZING BASS!!!YOU CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY!!!Its so little...
I hate when people so picky about the highs for this lil things, they are just earbuds, what more do you expect from them...if you really need perfect sound, go for AKG K701~
this is a really perfect EARBUDS and is what you call a Earbuds not a headphone...
I prefer Image more than Shure E530, e530 is big, and hard to put them on the ear, every pricy and the sound signature is actually similar to Image...
Image is by far more comfortable and convenient.
Look super neat and Unique~
Overall I love it.

Summary: Custom-3's overrated
Comment: I get a decent seal and a decent sound. The problem is that these headphones cause some unwanted static on certain frequencies. I got them replaced and the same problem exists on the new ones that Klipsch replaced my old ones with. It's not so bad that I won't use them for entertainment, it's just that they aren't accurate enough for monitoring recorded music. Klipsch is great with most of their stuff, but the Custom-3's don't cut it.
