PeterDLai Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 My only issue with the IMAGE earphones is the shape. It seems like the way they are designed, they stick out of your ears the same way that Etymotics ER4 earphones do, which in my opinion look kind of goofy.

Moderators dtel's wife Posted October 5, 2007 Author Moderators Share Posted October 5, 2007 He mistakenly said "Custom 10" so now he's saying "Sorry, (I meant) Custom 1." Pay attention, Kaiser.

videomagician Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Looks like the IEH market is exploding (hopefully not like the movie Scanners) recently. Just saw this announced from Pioneer. I'd really like to audition several of these IEHs since they all seem to cost a chunk of change, but I realize that probably won't be possible. I'm counting on my future Klipsch IEHs to hold their own against all the other players out there! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioadrenaline Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Hello guys, just wondering? Will there be independent reviews of the P.M's and also I would like to know about release date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterDLai Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 The Owner's Manuals for the new line-up are up now. I just gave both the IMAGE and the Custom Series manuals a quick read-through and am quite happy with the professional presentation. The days are numbered until November!

Will there be independent reviews of the P.M's and also I would like to know about release date? Mighty quiet around here!!! Yes, we will definitely have reviews for these...I'll try to find out who. Still looking at November... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest srobak Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Any plans to do an over-the-ear style, which could maybe tempt me into replacing my AKG K-240's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp33dyG Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I would love some over the ear style Klipsch headphones, I have the Sony MDR-V700's right now (picture below) and they are pretty decent, but i'd prefer some Klipsch headphones over my sony's, if I had Klipsch headphones i'd sell my Sony's. I'm also saving up for some custom 1's or 2's...or maybe the IMAGE...I can't decide on which ones I want price is no option for me. Any recommendations that would replace my Sony's?

I am curious as to whether you still think they stick out your ears like Etys or not. You may have underestimated how small they are. The only thing that should stick out is the rubber swoosh tail. If you have micro ear conchas this may be the exception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Thump Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 If there was an interest in Klipsch Circum-Aural headphones what would you use them for most? Critical listening or gaming? Would you prefer open or closed muff designs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterDLai Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I haven't tried them, but I did watch the instructional video and can see now that it is not as bad as I thought. I'm still possibly waiting on Klipsch Custom-3's since I value sound quality the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 If there was an interest in Klipsch Circum-Aural headphones what would you use them for most? Critical listening or gaming? Would you prefer open or closed muff designs? I would prefer closed so that I could use them for mixing live sound (better isolation)...it would be doubly awesome if the phones could fold backwards too (to make it easier to use just one ear to solo out channels). [A] The thing that has kept me going back to the Sony MDR's is their awesome telephone springy cord thing that keeps stuff from pulling on the cans and getting all tangled crazy like (plus the folding back of the headphones). The foam on them never lasts and the bag they come in always breaks within a couple weeks - I'm about due for another replacment now that I've got shaggy foam flying all over the place again. I would probably opt for the IE's for enjoyment listening simply because comfort is a bigger concern. I find that both open/closed muffs get your head sweating before you can get through an entire album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a good point Mike... I always used headphones that would bend backwards for cueing audio for DJ'ing. Of course back in those days we used 12" singles but maybe you haven't seen one.

DrWho Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 You mean like a 12" monitor? Or you would just lift up a 12" driver to your head? I think I value my hearing a bit more than that, lol [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coytee Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 customsteve01: Amy, You know Richard will read this and you should be really carefull when you talk about your ears around him Steve Oops, good call. I do so like ignoring him, though. Looking like 7 months late? Now that I've ordered a pair of Custom 3's, she's GOING to have to tell me their benefits... maybe she'll demonstrate them on her ear-lobes? [] Ya know...being this late to a party is almost embarassing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
