LOl, I was so into GH3 until I saw that episode of south park... now I'm just slightly more embarrassed to play...it's too fun to resist! I'm on Wii if anyone feels like playing, just getting into "hard" atm and having a rough time.

Just saw it up today, and I'm looking forward to seeing it full of threads in the future. Hope to see many of you early adopters posting initial impressions on the line of earphones...hopefully before I make my purchase =) I'd also like to say, very creative banner ad =P

@ amy: Looking back at the thread on head-fi, it does seem the interest is mostly for the custom 3s. I would imagine the majority of sales would come from the budget models, but usually its the lurkers that are more inclined to go for those and NOT post impressions @ mitch: I love it when lurkers come forward, especially when they come forward to post impressions on very promising looking headphones. I'm looking forward to a lengthy and detailed review from you, time permitting of course. I thought Klipsch doesn't ship to APO or FPO...manage to make some special arrangements for that? As for IEMs causing ear infections, alcohol swabs after using your earphones should do the trick for middle ear...but inner, that's very unusual for that to happen... I tend to avoid anything but mild soap and water for fear that they wear the tips down faster. Can anyone confirm or deny my suspicions?

I was going to wait until initial impressions from members of head-fi came in...but it looks like interest over there isn't as high as I had hoped and i'll be one of the first community guinea pigs =P Before I make my order though, I had a few questions to ask, specifically about the custom 2 but the same questions apply for the whole series. Firstly, is the cable braided or just a regular smooth plastic jacket? Its not too important, but braided cables are just a bonus for me. And are there any pictures lying around that have a close up of someone wearing the custom 2s? I like to lay on my side when I listen sometimes, and to have to earphones flush to my ear is pretty important. How many dbs of isolation are the custom 2s rated at?

Amy, when the description of the custom 3s states that they provide "superior noise reduction", is that in reference to isolation, S/N noise, or something else? And here on the box art of the headphones, it looks like different equalizer settings for each separate headphone. That isn't an attempt at the depiction of the differences in frequency response, is it? http://www.klipsch.com/headphones/custom-3/
