    Monster Turbine Appreciation Thread

    Mine came with a right angle plug, no Y slider, and a non-functioning right earphone. Yay.  The left sounded nice, strong bass especially.  I'm looking forward to receiving a working pair...

    What to replace KSC50's with?

    I have a pair of KSC50's that have a bit of a rattle developing on anything but very low volume.  Additionally, the foam padding has worn through and is about to fall off each earphone.  I believe that these have a lifetime warranty, so I could send them in but I may not get KSC50s back.    ...

    Monster Turbine Appreciation Thread

    I originally chose the Klipsch C2's over these a couple years ago because the C2's came out on sale for $50 less than the turbines, but I was never really satisfied with the C2s and wondered what these sound like.  You can't get a much better opportunity to try them than $59.

    Best phones for running

    I use my KSC50s while running and they stay secure enough that I don''t worry about them falling off. They sound good, too.

    Got my C2s yesterday, first impressions

    I want to update this with my thoughts about the C2s given a listening period approaching a month. I didn't return the C2s for a few reasons, among them laziness, but most importantly because I noticed that with subsequent listens I began to enjoy their sound. I no longer remember exactly what...

    My Klipsch Custom-2 are in...

    When listening to Tool, Coheed and Cambria, and other music, I feel like the singer and guitars are behind some heavy curtain and are almost muffled. I love the sound stage, but not the sound signature as much.

    My Klipsch Custom-2 are in...

    Will Amazon fully refund you for the Custom 2s? I'm thinking about returning the Custom 2s as well as I find it really hard to get past the lack of pronounced mids and highs. Was there any special procedure you followed? If all I have to pay is shipping it back to Amazon, I might return them and...

    C2s vs. C3s

    I just got the Custom 2s and their bass is pretty strong. However, you should be aware that the cables cause major microphonics - read the Klipsch Owners Only poll thread. I don't know why Klipsch didn't use rubber from the splitter to each earbud.

    Got my C2s yesterday, first impressions

    Let me know how the return goes - I may do the same.

    Got my C2s yesterday, first impressions

    I'm coming from E3cs and KSC50s. I got my C2s yesterday and wanted to share my impressions. I wanted clarity above all else, but also stronger bass than my E3cs provided. My first try at fitting these IEMs was frustrating. I tried the medium gels, the large dual-flange, the large gels, and...

    Only For Klipsch IEM owners to Vote

    I just got my C2s yesterday and I can't believe how loud this cord is. Any small movement of my head sends a rubbing noise up the cable. The woven cable is alright - seems really stiff and still has kinks from being in the box, is also a bit shorter than I had expected. While wearing them, I can...

    Custom 2, Turbines, NE8, NE7?

    I just decided to go with the Custom 2s before Amazon raises the price. Let's see how they are.

    Custom 2, Turbines, NE8, NE7?

    I have the KSC50s and a dead E3c. I liked the clarity of the E3c but I wish it had a little more bass. I guess I want a neutral to only slightly warm signature at most, but I would like to be able to kick up the bass a bit in EQ every now and then and have the phones respond. I considered the...

    Custom 2, Turbines, NE8, NE7?

    My budget is around $100 give or take $15. I want the best sound, don't need a mic/control unit. I like rock and classical, including Staind, Deftones, Coheed and Cambria, Smashing Pumpkins, etc. I'm coming from a pair of E3c's and KSC50's. I've been doing a lot of reading here over the...
