And finally (at least so far), there's Trager the IEM-aholic whose full story is best told by his signature:
Guilty as charged... I do test engineering, and I spend a lot of time programming in very noisy environments like production floors and environmental/EM test labs. IEMs really have saved my hearing and I love being able to really enjoy my music while I'm coding away.

Of course, the irony is that I'm not a basshead at all, and the Atrios are the only phone that I've really liked that could be described as bassy. In general, though, I've always associated the Klipsch sound signature with high quality mids and highs, and I think that (in conjunction with the Image reviews) is really what piqued my curiosity about the C3s.
