Obviously, they can't touch the Sleeks for those mids.

Thanks to all who answered. BloodSugar00, I might not be able to really give them more time. I got frustrated today and went out to buy a pair of Q-Jays. Results? Instant love, I found what I was looking for.... Yuin PK1-ish sound but with added bass. The soundstage is definitly not PK1 but it's WAY better than the Custom 3, which has none.

soozieq, I think you're right. After I posted my message I went to search the forums (should have done the opposite - I blame laziness, at least I am honest :P ) and I found out that a few other people were experiencing the same thing. Ah well. I'll still love Klipsch's speakers, but their IEMs are not for me :/

screwglue, as mentioned above, I don't seem to be the only one with this particular "issue", so I am convinced this is really the CS3's sound signature.

I'll probably keep those and use them as my backups in case the Q-Jays die (noooo please no heh).

Thanks again to everyone
