I dont understand this thing about deep insertion. I just pop the scl4's into my ears and they are good to go.
I the biggening as a newbie i just popped in the hf2's and was not satisfied with the sound so i tried to insert the ety's deeper ( as suggested) but they wouldnt go any further and it was very painful {as some 5mm from the opening the width of my ear canal drops to 3mm diameter }.
So do you guys recommend that i insert into the 3mm canal.

I owned both (still have the X10s) and I would not say the C3 SQ is better than the X10s. Different? Yes. Better, no? I liked the Custom 3s, in fact, and found them almost as comfy as the X10s. But in the end, I preferred the X10 sound and sold the C3s. I also own the W3s, which are serving as my over the ear phone. But as to the decision to get the Custom 3s over the Shures at twice the price, I say the extra comfort is worth $80, considering you note that to get the right seal, the ECL4s need to go deep, much like Etys or AL 716s. To some, that is not comfort, but torture. Not everyone, mind you, cause I like the 716s too. But to me, the Klipsch comfort factor is worth its weight in $$$. So yakuzaph not to worry. If you do like the Custom 3 sound, you didn't make a mistake considering the comfort issue. Also, if Shure is selling the ECL4s to clear space for new products, how come the black ones are still expensive? Just wondered what the logic is in terms of only deep discounting the white ones relative to your conjecture that they are getting ready to release new models (not that I doubt it, but what would be the logic in discounting only one color?). |
