[quote user="Klipsch Headphones"]They were engineered to be pulled on. NOT PUSHED.[/quote] Who are you responding to? What are you referring to?

The problem on mine has not gotten any worse, and hasn't affected usability or audio quality at all. I think the problem is seen often enough, and each instance is similar enough to each other, to allow the possbility that it's not user error, but more likely a batch or design defect. It does not affect how much I like them, but it will DRAMATICALLY effect their resale value if I ever decide to do so, which sucks.

Hi Amy, thanks for checking into this. I got mine "from this lady on Amazon whose husband got them as a corporate christmas present", so I don't expect I have any warranty through anyone. I just wanted to see if anyone else was having this same problem, find out if there's any remedies. And just to document it if it continues getting worse (it hasn't yet). I look forward to seeing how this resolves.

Awesome, thank you. I'd forgotten about taking pictures. Kind of surprised Amy or Thump hasn't dropped by the thread yet.

Hello, As I indicated in my review, I'm quite happy with my Images, but I've just noticed a small tear (or notch) on both earpieces where the cord disappears into the black rubber sleeve connected to the brass colored metal part of the earpiece. I'll try to take a picture tonight. Was this notch always here, manufactured in, or is the rubber sleeve tearing? Is this something I should be concerned about after just over a month of using them? Thanks!

I just got my Klipsch Image IEMs in the mail last night. I've been tremendously excited about getting them, lusting through the weeks after any scrap of information I could get on them until that frightening moment I clicked the "Buy" button. So, I'm not pretending to review these objectively yet, I'm still in the "they're here! they're here!" phase, but I thought it would be interesting to document my observations as they evolve, as they have done in the hours

Not anymore.... must have been a pricing aberration like Dreven managed to get at Newegg or someplace. They are back at $349.99.

Just a quick note on my epoxy idea... I tried putting a dot of epoxy on the rubberized sleeve of the driver. Once it dried, it fell right off. So epoxy won't do it. Was great for the minute it was there. Back to the drawing board!

Hi Thump, I don't have much exposure to binarual recordings, but wish everything was done that way.... anyway, here's a buncha links to try out... I really enjoy the Ultrasone CD (which is free for download), haven't trried out the others yet, just found them now researching this for you... http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f9/legally-download-able-binaural-recordings-links-223165/

Will do! ....and here and head-fi.
