I just got mine today and was wondering if the sound will change over time.

Oh ok, thats good. Because I really am not feeling those detailed highs that are advertised. On the Zune HD.

Oh you're not kidding, I never did like the fit the oval shaped ear tips on the Custom 3s. I used the Shure E4 tips. And for my Image X5 I'm going to be using simular tips that came with my Phonak Auedos PFE. Rounder tips in my ears seal better, allow a more balance of frequencies, and feel better. As for the Bass, I am really surprised. The bass quantity is a lot stronger than the reviews lead on. If the X10 has more bass then I'm glad I didn't get them it would have been too much

No I haven't tried the S4, those are a little too low-end for my taste. I've really spoiled myself over the years with more higher-end IEMs. I can only compare the Custom 3 to the X5. Yes heavy bass can ruin your hearing in those lower frequencies for extended periods of time. Deep in your ears are tiny hairs, they are responsible for capturing and transmitting the frequencies to the ear drum by electrical signals from thier vibrations, the thick hairs handle the low frequencies, the further

This was a good question as I'm waiting on my X5 to arrive in the mail. I plan on pairing them with the Zune HD and and Samsung P3. Has anyone any experience with these combinations?

From what I understood. With ear buds you should never exceed %70 of the total volume level of the MP3 player. This should put you at about 65-75 db-spl. There is no exact number because of so many variables involved. In other words if your MP3 player has a max volume level of 30, go no higher than 21. This should allow you around 4 hours of safe listening. With In Ear phones, IEMs like the Klipsch. You should not exceed %50 of the total volume level of the MP3 player. Because of their isolation

I'll buy from whom ever gives me the advantage.

I'm thinking of purchasing the Image X5. I see a seller on Amazon named Electronica Direct that sells for a good price. Will Klipsch support the warranty if I bought the X5 from them? EDIT: Nevermind I found the answer on the Head-Fi Forums. The Answer is No.

Hey guys I have a question about using different sized ear tips for each ear. Does the mismatch affect the over all balance of the sound? Like if I have a larger tip in my left ear than my right, would I get more bass in my left ear than my right?

[quote user="expatmatt"][quote user="expatmatt"] How can I get this sorted out?[/quote] I should have said Thanks long ago to Amy and LaToya who helped me to get a replacement pair. The new set's cables are just as stiff, and starting to show signs of a kink at the jack, but still sound awesome.[/quote] So basically after sending you a defective pair the first time, they didn't even bother to double quality check the replacment pair to ensure it would'nt happen agian
