    Custom 3 Review?Please Help....

    Hi everyone, I'm new here and I'm interested in the custom 3 earphones but I can't seem to find a review on them. I was wondering if any of you guys here have the custom 3 so they can let me know if they are happy with them and also what kind of return policy klipsch has if im not satisfied with them. I'm a drummer so I really need a good pair of isolation earphones  with a good bass response to hear my kick drums and the bass guitar  while I jam with the band. I had  Ultimate Ears Super.FI 5 EB earphones  but I lost them with my ipod in a cab so now I'm looking in the market for a new smaller  and better pair of earphone monitors.

    Any advice will be greatly apreciated......thanks.

    The custom 3 are not out yet hence the reason for no consumer reviews.

    I won a pair and am awaiting patiently

    Dear Guywholikestohitthings,

    I can appreciate your need for a good "THUMP" from the kickdrum.  This is exactly what I was going for when Custom 3 was designed.  The snap from the snare is just like you were there at the concert.  The only thing you need to add is the viceral shake to your pant legs from the kickdrum. 

    Go for Custom 3 dude.  There is a return policy if you don't like them.  They should be in stock shortly.  Jay is salivating waiting for his pair.

    The Custom 3's are now in production so it is just an issue of shipping and distribution logistics.  I would hope next week but I am only guessing.  I would have to check our logistics group to see the ETA.  I will post this info when I know.

    We have a very limited number of Custom-3s en route to our distribution center (very limited, unfortunately).  I believe they are already spoken for, and I'm awaiting an update to determine when more will be on the way.  

    These tiny things are hard to build!

    Thanks to all for your continued patience...

    Thank You Peter for conveying the status of Custom 3 to the Head-fi Forum.  You are definitely paying attention to our product status especially for Custom 3.  Amy wants to hire you as her assistant but I would guess she wouldn't pay you enough for your qualifications.  Big Smile

     We had a meeting this morning with manufacturing to get updates on production status for headphones.  Custom 1 & 2 are producing very well with hardly a reject.  IMAGE headphones have had some yield issues on the cosmetics for anodization but now that we have two vendors sourcing the chassis parts production can keep up with the high demand required.  The newest model that people have been waiting on is Custom 3. We have shipped a reasonable quantity already, but I believe that they have been distributed to our customers already.  This dual driver design we believe will set new standards for the audio industry, competing with higher priced models with additional armatures.  The down side is that we have not been able to ramp up as quickly because of several things.  All the piece parts are available but we only have one skilled set of hands (excluding the Dr.) that can successfully build the design since precision is a requirement for assembly.  Secondarily we have had a test jig malfunction which production has been waiting on for upgrades.  This is planned to come on line tomorrow so we will start production again Saturday.  I don’t expect the shortages to occur much longer unless demand is higher. I will keep you posted as to our status to sticking Custom 3 in your ear…
