Dreven:

 This is everything I could find with a half hour of goofing off.   Funny thing was this guy "I listened to prototypes of these phones this summer" seems to have posted the same thing in so many different places.  I smell a plant.  hehe ...

 Dreven,

That could've been me as I posted in a couple of different sites.  Also could've been somebody else as I've seen some other posts by people who tried the prototypes and I'm not sure I posted in more than 2 to 3 sites.  I wouldn't call it a plant as I have no real incentive. 

I've been a big fan of Klipsch for years, and  was just blown away by the IMAGE prototype I was able to try  The Custom 1 prototype was also amazing.    Very few new products are as exciting.  AWESOME sound and INCREDIBLE comfort in an insanely tiny package. 

It was also really cool and a lot of fun to listen to Professor Thump explain what they were trying to do for a product not yet on the market, or even announced to the market.  How many companies show new stuff to their fans before it's announced?  Not many I'm sure.  Naturally we all signed a non-disclosure agreement but it's still amazing they have that much trust.  

It was hard not to tell people about such cool new stuff.  

I ended up getting the Custom 2 when they first became available... probably would've got the image is my budget would've allowed but the Custom 2 is a good compromise.  The closest to the sound of the IMAGE and probably the closest to the comfort.  The IMAGE wins out for absolute comfort and ease of  use.
