My Custom 2 though taking a bit to get used to and feel fine when my ear isn't itching - usualy my right ear an annoying thing that's been going on since before I got the Custom when they were first on the market.
I'd never used other brands of IEMs before those so I can't say only a few crappy painful earbuds which I detest. The Custom 2 produce amazing sound. I couldn't even bring myself to try the other IEMs at the Klipsch Pilgrimage in 2007 when the Custom and IMAGE were first introduced - they just looked uncomfortabel by comparision. The Custom models looked much more comfortable and the IMAGE as it was originally called was just so insanely small, easy to use, and easy to forget they were in one's ears - except for the Legendary Sound of Klipsch in one's head.
We were able to get a set of Image X10 this past December and well, besides sounding even more incredible then the Custom 2, they are so much more comfortable and easier to use - just stick 'em in and they work and are pretty easy to forget they're in your ears except of course for the Legendary Sound of Klipsch in a really tiny package that fits in your ear!
Hoping I get to try out the new Image S2 and S4 soon.
Feel the bass in your head! Sticking 'em in my ears since November 2007! - bsam 2007 -
