It is an armature, not sure fio the same as the Image, it is indeed a little bigger, but not that that big neither (maybe an extra millimeter or so)...it is slightly bigger in diameter, honestly I do not think they can fit two drivers in that space, things have shrink a lot overtime, but not that much...
Is it smaller then the q-JAYS? These are 2 way drivers in a very tiny space. Lock at the specs here.
there size is only 5.00mm x 2.73mm x 3.86mm (.197in x .108in x .152in) so the should fit in a tube of 5mm across, that is small!!!

The Image according to Klipsch (and to me) is the smalest IEM available till now, it is like 5.68 mm diameter overall, as it is cilindrical what makes things a little more tight inside, the Silver one is maybe 6 mm diameter, not more...
The specs for the Q-Jays that you post it, is for armature alone, the driver, not for the body of the headphone, I think that they ar bigger like 18.4 x 7.5 x 7.5 mm overall...

I stand corrected, but the size was indeed the driver alone, and the link behind is also to the driver and not the q-JAYS. I see my mistake know and should have choose my words better.
But less then 6 mm across is pretty impressive. I could not find the dimensions of the Etymotic ER4 series, there very small too.

Small size is indeed very handy. Had a change a few months ago to listen to the etymotic 4 series (comparing them to the q-Jays, icm with a ibasso t2 amp, ipod's direct) and understand the hype. Very detailed and airy sounding. But i would not see the do a lot of bass. The reach low, but it seems the low freq are a few db behind the mid's and highs, so the mid-high overwelmes the bass kinda. And read a lot of reviews where people complained that the cable sticks out to the sides. For myself, i am a big fan of over the ear cable routing, and this kinda difficult with the standard cable on the ety's.
But it's pitty that Klipsch patended the obvious flaw in tips, that our ears are ovale and not round in shape. round tips tend to buckle and create a small air duct to leak those precious lows.

I like the feel of the Image phones, but not the microphonics or the rubbery cable.
The Custom-3 phones get rid of the microphonics and the rubbery cable (instead of it is nylon wrapped or something similar) but they don't feel as good in my ear.
The sounds are almost the same. I may stick with the Custom-3 since when walking around I can't stand the microphonics of the Image.
Then again - real customs such as the Freqs or the Livewires are still in my price range at this point.
