X2 on those cable cover issues. Mine look like new. I heard from the grapevine that while it ain't pretty, it will not affect SQ or hurt the drivers. And apparently Klipsch is working on a fix for future IEMs. But I really think careful handling should work.

FYI, I thought Klipsch offered a two-year warranty, but it's only one. My bad (I had posted otherwise a few places).

Anyway, looking forward to hearing the Custom3s. Now, what can I sell to pay for them? Sleeks? Nah. AL 716s (modded)? Maybe. Sony A818? Maybe.

I've been thinking of ordering a pair of UE sf3, but the price on the X5 has me tempted. I'm familiar with Klipsch as a speaker manufacturer but have no experience with their headphones. What is the sound quality of these? How do they compare with the UE sf3 and the er-6i? Is the X5 better than the Custom-3, or just different? I am really considering the X5.

Plenty of information on the X5 hereabouts. Search function would help. Also, try Googling Image X-5 and read some user opinions, pro reviews, etc.

Has anyone tried using this coupon code : Klipsch Coupon MasterCard Shop Klipsch.com and save 25% off The Ultimate Sound Experience. From high-performance computer and iPod'#174;/MP3 speake
in combination with the "half off" code? I dont know if the code even works or if it can be use in combination but its supposed to add an extra 25% off if using a mastercard as form of payment. I don't have a mastercard to verify if it works in combination thus I am asking.

Why is it US only?

I think the X10 are way much better than my Fi.5 (maybe it is also good this action is us only, otherwise I spent a lot of money again, and as a poor student I don't have many of that

)

Probably U.S. only cause of the free shipping, to keep it simple. This only runs until 11/30. It will be interesting to see if prices go back to MSRP again, or stay low. Amazon already had these phones discounted near $$200 (X10s), so they can still be had for less than MSRP from an authorized dealer. I will tell you the X10s is much, much better than the SF5. I owned the latter, and returned them in a week.

The Mastercard promotion ended in June and will no longer work.

Our store is only set up for direct sales on the few products that we do offer for a few reasons. The biggest is probably that it would be a large expansion for us to set up the infrastructure to be able to ship internationally to individual consumers (legally and logistically), and also the additional support we'd need to provide on an international level.

Thanks for the heads up on this one. Was able to get a pair of Custom 3 for $162 total! I think they're gonna be way better than the FX300's I'm still using. Paired with the fact I just found my Tomahawk again, and my ears are going to be in total bliss!

Glad to help out. I also ordered a pair of Custom 3s. How come yours cost $162? Mine were $150.

 

[NeObliviscaris]

aw man, wuda loved to get my hands on some C3s or X10s or something

You can have someone in the States buy and then ship to you. Still cheaper though.

 

[j2kei]

i want to get in on this, however i'm wary because there been saying that the treble on the x10s arent that great. i checked the return policy and it states that tax is not reimbursed on returns?!?

 

[NeObliviscaris]

Treble is fine. Nice, crisp, clean. May not equal other high-end phones, but the overall sound delivery on the X10s is nice, very nice. Also, the combo of comfort and SQ is impossible to beat at $175. Doubt you will be disappointed at this price point. Tax, what tax?
