Klipsch Custom review

Klipsch is a relatively new player in the headphone game, but its reputation as a high-end speaker manufacturer dates back to the 1940s. Building on the success of the company's knockout Image X10 earphones, the Klipsch Custom line delivers impressive...

The Klipsch Custom 2 in-ear headphones offer full and detailed sound, rugged construction, tangle-resistant cables, multiple ear tips, and effective noise isolation.

The Klipsch Custom 2 headphones are relatively large, lack foam ear tips, and touch more of your ear than traditional consumer earphones.

If you're looking for a stylish pair of in-ear headphones that can stand up to daily abuse and provide rich sound, the Klipsch Custom 2 are hard to beat.

Klipsch Custom-2 earphones

One of the most common accessories we all own are earphones or headphones. I've always preferred headphones – I find earphones too intrusive and uncomfortable. That's why I was interested in having a look at Klipsch's Custom-2 earphones – at $299.00...

External sound blocking, highly comfortable, sound quality

Cord tangles easily

If you’re a true audiophile, the Custom-2 earphones are probably not quite there – the Custom-3 ($399) or Image ($499) may cover your needs more fully. If you’re a die-hard daily music listener with an ear for quality, then you may want to fork out the...

unsatisfactory

Good sound quality

I bought a pair of Custom-1 earphones, which have the same basic design as these. While putting these earphones into my pocket, one of the earpieces got snagged on the edge of my pocket and snapped. The little plastic piece which connects the gel caps...

Unreal

The sound quality is unbeleavable on these earphones. I came off a set of Shure E4c earbuds, and the Klipsch make them seem like $19 cheapos. The ear wrap works flawlessly and holds them in your ears very, very well. Love them

Nice upgrade

Make the Creative ear buds I was using pale in comparison, but they cost ~1/4 as much to be fair. Overall, very happy so far

Sound. Amazing sound quality compared to previous headphones that I've had. Fit is fantastic, and I like how Klipsch's design includes an over-the-ear "hook" that keeps them from falling out while traveling/exercising. Great fit and noise canceling...

Pricey compared to some other quality headphones
