Not to be late to the "nomenclature controversy" party, but I think there are two separate issues. In the world of IEMs, the word "custom" has a very specific meaning, which is that ear mold impressions are taken and then a unique earpiece is crafted to fit that ear alone. In that sense, I think the use of "custom" for a universal fit IEM is a bit misleading.
As to the number component, there is no established relationship with the number of drivers for Ety, Shure or UE, so I don't see how Klipsch's use is misleading in anyway.
Cheers,
Phil
