Thanks. I am going to check with my friend to see if she still wants to spend. Appreciate the heads-up. I'd love to get a pair, but as you can see, I'm overloaded with phones at the moment, and I like them all.
Also, someone brought up the idea of wearing glasses and over the ear phones. I noticed in a thread you also don't like wearing phones over your ears. I don't either. I sold my UM1s within 30 minutes of trying them out, and they are very comfy in general. I just like the wire in front of me, not behind me. Anyway, is the ear loop big enough to cause pressure/interfere with wearing glasses. Just curious. Or is it fairly innocuous?
This is very interesting. The demographic of people ordering the Custom-3 seems to be very diverse.
And finally (at least so far), there's Trager the IEM-aholic whose full story is best told by his signature:
Guilty as charged... I do test engineering, and I spend a lot of time programming in very noisy environments like production floors and environmental/EM test labs. IEMs really have saved my hearing and I love being able to really enjoy my music while I'm coding away.

Of course, the irony is that I'm not a basshead at all, and the Atrios are the only phone that I've really liked that could be described as bassy. In general, though, I've always associated the Klipsch sound signature with high quality mids and highs, and I think that (in conjunction with the Image reviews) is really what piqued my curiosity about the C3s.

Well...I just ordered a pair.. went through the checkout process and got an order conf email. Does this mean I was one of the lucky ones..or I may still find out they are out of stock at the moment? Just wondering..

The first 40 sold out yesterday already. However, they got another 30 sets in today, so you should be good.

I did the same last night when the original batch was gone, and I was unable to complete the order. Today when the new lot came in, I ordered again and all went thru OK. I guess we can both assume that we scored a set!
I hope I am as impressed with the Custom 3 as I am with my Images! Sound is great, comfort is unsurpassed by any IEMs I have previously owned.

How does the sound of the IMAGE compare to your other IEMs?
