    Upgrading from Custom 2s: X5 or X10?

    Hey all,

    So I've recently purchased the Custom 2s, and am quite impressed with the overall sound (in particular, the soundstage). While these will serve as my backup/gym earphones, I'm looking for ones for everyday use, and I've read a bit about the X5/X10s. I suspect both will over improved sound/comfort over the Custom 2s (which makes sense), but my questions were the following:

    (1) While the X10s undoubtedly offer better bass performance than the Custom 2s, how do the X5s compare to the Custom 2s in terms of bass?

    (2) How much wider/better is the soundstage on the X10s as compared to the X5s?

    While I enjoy healthy amount of bass in my music, my purchase will likely turn on the soundstage offered by the X5 vs X10. There is only a 30 pound difference between the two, so price is not an issue.

     Thanks for any help or suggestions!

    This may help.

    Soundstage is harder to answer since it depends on how the earphone sit in your ear.

     Helpful link! I ordered the X5s a few days ago. I will let you know my thoughts when they arrive.
