(More customer reviews)Klipsch Custom-1 In-Ear Noise Isolating Earphone
So I ignored the reviews (being a lover of Klipsch products) and bought these. I really wanted the Custom-3 version but decided to err on the side of caution and purchase the Custom-1. These things are badly designed for ears. Do not buy them. I have several pair of in-ear earphones from Shure's E3Cs, Etymotic Research ER6i and a pair of Ultimate Ears 5EB ear phones. I also have some cheap Sony and other miscellaneous models. So I know how to use these and what they should sound like. These things refuse to stay planted. I have tried every pair of tips to no avail. As soon as I open my mouth, I lose sound in one ear or the other. Or 3-5 steps into my jog and one or both fall out of my ears. Screwing them into my ears gets a better seal but poorer sound. I looked closely at them and it appears that the ear plug is on a long stem that points at a 45 degree or so angle upwards. This is a bad fit for my ears. YMMV but I sincerely think these things are a bad design. The next problem is the main reason I purchased these Klipsch ear phones. The fabric covered wired. I love my Shure E3Cs but the wire becomes hard after a while and eventually cracks and causes a short in the earphone. This has happened 4 times to me. I noticed that fabric covered wire also seemed less prone to tangles (the reason I don't use my Etymotics. The thin cable always tangles and has frayed badly).
The fabric cable on these earphones are horrible. The wire is extremely thin and stiff so it is still prone to bad tangles (not as bad as others but bad enough). Its also so thin, I'm in fear of catching it in a zipper and tearing it or it falling apart on me. So with a heavy heart, I'm returning my Klipsch earphones and warning others to stay away. I love Klipsch speakers (I used to own a set) but I don't really have anything good to say about these ear phones.
