After spending considerable time comparing the C3 to my Images, Atrios M5, and Etys, I have decided to return the C3s. While the highs are marginally better defined by the C3, I find that I still have difficulty with a proper seal. The comfort is not as good as the Atrios using the gel tips on both, as the shell of the C3 just doesn't match my ear contours as well.
The comfort of the Image far outweighs the slight difference in SQ, IMO. I also prefer the imaging of the Image, as it is further away than the C3. This is perhaps a psychoacoustic phenomena, but nevertheless, I don't care for a soundstage that appears to be between my ears.
I will say the the Klipsch gel tips are far superior to any tips I have previously used on any of my IEMs. They fit perfectly on my Atrios, Westone UM2, and Etys.
