I'm considering the klipsch custom 3, but are there any that's particularly renowned for classical music?
I'm not using an amp.

Said to be using the same drivers as Etymotic's highly regarded er4 phones (so it's a "poor mans etymotic"). They are out of production so you can find one very cheap. Replacement filters and tips are still available (from Etymotic). You could also go for the er4, but I never had one so cannot compare the two. |

The highs excel, crystal clear and quite pristine. The mids are not too bad.. vocals are precise and clear, possibly just missin very minute details like breath... Overall I wouldn't say they're real airy.. and they don't have a fantastically wide soundstage.. they're quite in-your-face... aggresive. But enjoyable ultimately =) |
