Thanks Glider, That's some very helpful and reassuring insight. I'm really glad I bought the X5's now. I previously owned the Sennheiser PX-100 and the Sennheiser CX 300's, and when I first received the X5's and did the comparisons, I was expecting a little more. However, I'm only now starting to hear the difference, the CX 300's don't seem to have any mids, their highs get cracky and over all, it sounds more muddled in all areas compared to the X5's. I guess I was really used to Sennheiser speakers with no mids, which kinda sounds really robotic (like techno music) and non-organic. Eversince I've listened to the X5's I start to hear the mids and I started to hear things I've never heard before. These earphones are also remarkably comfortable and super sound insulating. The highs and lows don't give me headaches as the Sennheisers; these earphones ease through them with such clearity. I'm totally addicted to these earphones. Yesterday I decided to buy more Klipsch and I bought the Promedia 2.1 from best buy. WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY. I have to say, my sense of sound has never been so satisfied. I'm totally addicted to Klipsch and I'm planning to buy their standing speakers for my home system.

This is really disappointing to hear, I just bought the X5's ($200--took me a loooong while to save up) thinking they would sound better than the custom series because they costed more. Had I known, I would've went for the Custom-3's. Do the custom-3's sound noticeably better than the X5's?
