I received my Custom 3s so I now have both the Image and the Custom 3s.
But all is not well in the land. I cannot get a tight, comfortable seal for the Custom 3s. There is never enough bass -- actually very little so I assume it is the seal but I am unable using any of the tips-- even used the Image tips to get a seal. But to no avail.
I imagine the Custom 3s could sound great because the treble is more open than on the Images. But without the bass they are lean-- not enough fun to make it worthwhile.
I checked the Klipsch site for fit/seal instructions-- saw videos and tried everything but nothing has worked. I put the Images in instant seal-- can even play around with the seal to increase, decrease bass and SQ.
So I think the Images are standing and the Custom 3s are going back to Klipsch.
