I'm going to resurrect this thread since I need a set of phones other than my klipsch x5.

I think that's what most have said thusfar.

^ I agree

yes/no?

so an amp does little for the hd25-1s?

so the x10's and x5's really don't improve much with an amp whereas something like the custom 3's would?

I have a pair of custom 3's that are my main headphones. I actually bought both a pair of x5's and custom 3's at the same time and never even bothered to open up the x5's.. I'll probably be listing those on head-fi shortly.

it's possible, but I really like the way the customs form around your ear without looking obnoxious. I have a tendency to push iems too deep and this prevents me from doing so.

I already purchased a set of custom 3s but I may actually pick up a pair of the hd-25s as well. so they don't need an amp to sound good with an ipod?

haha. well if you ever decide to trade those westones, let me know ; ) While I really like the Klipsch Custom 3s, I too am always anxious to try new things.

It looks like you've already got a pretty nice collection. How do those westones sound?

I really like the custom 3s, other than the microphonics associated with the upper cord I really don't have a problem with them. definitely comfortable.
