I'm pretty much torn between the three.  I've read a lot of reviews but still can't decide.  Price is not a factor as I can get the Custom-3 and X5s for $99 and the Image X10s for $129 at Ultimate Electronics.  If anyone has listened to all three, which set of headphones would you reccomend? 

I bought the Custom 3's and here was one reason why....  the ear wrap.

I knew I'd be using mine outdoors, cutting fields and other things...  bottom line, I liked the versions that would hold to my (fat) head regardless so I wanted the ones that had the ear wire.

If you are going to use it where you might want quick in, quick out, perhaps that's not the best version although I find I can easily/quickly pop it out AND still use the ear wire to 'hang' one or both from my ear.

I'll pop them out, leave them hanging on my ear to have/finish a conversation with someone, then pop them back in.

I have not heard all the versions so I can't give any comment as to why one is better/worse than another regarding sound.  I bought the C3's since I understood them to simply be their top model at my time of purchase.

(I've beat them to snot too and they keep on trucking!!)

 Custom 3 will have the best sound, Image X10 will have the best comfort.  It depends on your priorities 

So, Amy....which ones do you put next to your ear lobes?

Leave it to you to ask...!

I can only use the X10 for comfort reasons.  My ear canals are tiny (which you should know!!!!) .   I love them and use them most all day, every day at work.  I've been known to panic when I can't find them.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh....  it is my job to protect your honor and dignity

 Also, I was wondering which are the most durable?  I need ones that I don't always need the carrying case for when I carry them in my pocket.  Also, which ones have cables most resistant to wear?

 I will do a comparo of these three soon.  So far the Custom-3 ...sounds quite promissing. Full report s in a week's time.
