Default Too much for the Klipsch Image X10

Ive just recently gotten the x10 and for some reason, though it sounds very nice, i kind of felt that alot of my money went to it because it is considered "worlds smallest" =\ Does anyone have the same feeling? I feel like trading them in for the Custom 3.

The Image X10, by virtue of common consensus, sounds better than the Custom 3. Not everyone thinks this of course, but by and large it is considered better.

Mine opened up quite a bit after the first two weeks. Much better separation and clarity, yet less "shrill" to the treble, and crisper, faster bass.

Yeah, only had my for about a 4 days. =X my seal is kind of different too. The Large Double flanges fit deeper then the medium singles. so dont know which to decide between.

I settled on the large singles because the large doubles tickled my inner ear.

About 3 weeks now. The Atrio M5 I just got today is competing with it for being my favorite.

I have, so far, been very pleased with the X10. I think it does a lot of things very well.

Bose in ear/not in ear buds or what ever you call them is the WORST $100.00 I've spent in my life. Putting custon 3 (or any klipsch) in the same sentence as the Bose IE is an insult to klipsch.

Seeing as you just got yours, I assume you got it with the half off deal. So no, not too much at all. And if you still need more convincing, just think I paid the full $350 for mine.
