There are so many reviews giving it 5 stars. People generally state that sound quality is good. Well, it's not. It's outstanding. They produce a very flat response over the whole range, including the bass - you shouldn't listed for people complaining about it :) There is a problem, though. The build quality of the cable and the TRS (the 3.5 jack connector). After a while I found out that the cable started to get wrinkly, month later 50% of the cloth protecting the cable itself teared apart. Some day after one line just stopped working. I wasn't really abusing them or anything, just the normal home-office use, but the cable broke after like 4 months of use... Cmon guys, it's almost year 2050, humans are flying far above the surface in space stations, building deadly weapons and transplanting brains, still they can't produce a good robust cable.

Bought these as a replacement for the Bose in-ear buds.

The multiple ear tips helps you find the ideal fit and the ear hooks worked well after a few days of adjusting to them. The sound quality suited my needs (I'm not an audiophile) for my commute/workouts just fine.

The one complaint that I have concerns the cable. The weaved casing seemed like a nice touch, but after 2 months of use (coiling, uncoiling, storing in the protective case) I noticed that the cable started to blister out of the weave in some areas that were excessively bent. Incidentally, the cable came 'folded' and not coiled, so the creases were present when i first received the headphones.

I'm not sure how much I paid, but it was on a significant discount, so I'm satisfied with the purchase.

Out of box, these earphones sounded tinny. I burned them for around 80 hours and the sound quality has completely changed....The Bass is tight and deep, Mids are great and the highs are detailed...As with all other IEMs the fit decides the whole sound quality, fortunately the included oval shaped ear-gels provide a tight and comfortable fit with good isolation from outside noise (Klipsch will mail you two pairs of ear-gels of your choice FREE if you register the product online)..... The cable is wrapped in cloth so, it tangles less....Microphonics are there but they are somewhat reduced by the memory wire housing for over-the-ear fit.....

Custom 2 Vs Image S4: One can find the Custom 2's at around $80-100 (much less than the MRP of $199) now-a-days as they are discontinued set of earpieces. Klipsch Image S4 are also available at $80 which have a much pronounced bass, but overall a FUN sounding IEMs (Good for rock/hip-hop/pop). Custom 2's on the other hand provide more detailed sound than the S4's with much emphasis on vocals (good for classical/live music)....

These headphones were a step up for me and in the end, the sound quality is good to very good. But getting them right took ages. if the speaker isn't perfectly fitted in the ear then there is NO bass. Now, they sound good, feel Ok but I wouldn't recommend without trying the fit first

These are great ear phones for the money. There were many options for fit and I'm getting great sound quality. There is a little sound from the wires rubbing, but when I tighten them up under my chin, that is eliminated. I'm very satisfied and would buy them again. I got $150 earphones for half price--what a bargain too.
