Whilst the ego massaging has put you in a posting mode, perhaps you can answer a question for me please?
I have owned both the X5 and the X10. I did not care for the sound of the X5 though I found it extremely comfortable, even when burrowed deeply into my ear canal using the biflange tips (I tended to insert it and the X10 such that the first part of the flange "hooked" just past the bend in the canal, therefore locking the headphone in place so to speak). Conversely, I loved the sound of the X10, however it was uncomfortable only because the end of the black tail put quite a good deal of pressure on my outer ear (the bend radius of the black tail of the X10 being more acute than that of the X5).
Anyway, my X10 was suffering the durability issues reported by many users and I can't help thinking the pressure of the tail on my ear did not help matters.
Now it seems to me that the best sonic signature from the Klipsch models is with tips that can burrow deeply enough to obtain a great seal - and for me that mean't the medium (large?) biflange tips.
Now I have been considering trying out the Klipsch Custom 3, but I just wonder whether it is possible to get the same acoustic seal on that model as it is with the X10? Obviously the X10 being as thin as it is, it can go right in ore or less unimpeded, leaving only the tail exposed, whereas the Custom 3 is obviously limited in that respect by the housing itself.
I do see that the Custom 3 is packaeged with the same biflange tip, just a different colour. But can this tip insert as deeply as with the X10 as described above? I'm not sure I would even want to bother trying the Custom 3 if I could not insert a biflange tip as deeply as with the X10, since I was not really impressed with the sound of these earphones using the other tips that did not insert as deeply.
Thank you
