Noise-Isolating Earphones
Delivering a front row, center stage listening experience at an affordable price, Custom1 earphones employ exclusive KG332 balanced armatures for deeper bass, a more robust midrange, and clearer high notes. With five different sizes of ear gels, Custom1 earphones are a great solution if you're concerned about great sound and great comfort.

From Klipsch's Website;

Overview

Soak up the sound with Custom 1. These high-performance, yet affordable, earphones make it possible to achieve that “front row, center stage” feeling anytime, anywhere.
Full range in-ear design
Customized fit, unequaled comfort
Balanced driver
Equalized high and low frequency response
Perfect for everyday use
Superior noise isolation
Works with the iPod, iPhone and other devices
Great Comfort and Fit
These headphones feature dark gray patent-pending oval ear tips that naturally fit the shape of your ear canals, reducing ear fatigue and producing a perfect acoustic seal. A good seal minimizes outside noise, also known as noise isolation, and allows you to enjoy your music at lower, safer levels.

Custom 1 includes five different washable ear tip sizes: small, medium, and large single flange designs as well as small and large double flange designs. These soft, flexible ear tips are light and narrow, making them almost impossible to feel inside your ears.

For perfect exterior comfort, flexible ear wires bend over and around the ears so they can be customized to each user. And not only do these adaptable wires provide optimal comfort, they also let users experience full or partial noise isolation—a great safety feature for on-the-go users. Just pull the ear gels out of the ear canals and adjust the wires to firmly position the earphone nozzles over the canals.

Great Sound
At the heart of every Klipsch product is over 60 years of audio expertise beating strong.
Our commitment to no-compromise performance has made us the preferred choice of top cinema operators, a leader in stereo and home theater sound and now a premium name in headphones.

Wherever you go, Custom 1 lets stunningly precise audio go with you. Exclusive KG332 balanced armatures generate deeper bass, a more robust midrange, and clearer high notes for that true-to-life listening experience only Klipsch can deliver.

Built to Last
Klipsch has gone to great lengths to ensure the long-lasting durability of Custom 1 earphones, up to and including its 50-inch-long cables. Put through “real world” testing, these headphones feature appropriate strain relief at every cable connection point to help prevent wire damage. Plus, underneath the cable’s black cloth weaving, a special PVC Wireguard jacket prevents the wires from becoming exposed and frayed.

Added Frills
Custom 1 is compatible with the iPod, iPhone and virtually any device with a headphone jack. These headphones come with a compact high-quality vinyl carrying case, five sets of different-sized ear tips, and an ear tip cleaning tool.

Custom FAQs

How do I get the flexible ear wires to mold precisely around my ears?
The flexible ear wires come pre-formed to fit most ears. However, to get a true custom feel, you will need to tweak the bend. Start by gently forming it to the back of your ear. You may need to adjust the angle of the earbud in your ear to help achieve a good seal or eliminate pressure points. Plan on spending up to five minutes checking the ear tip fit and wire adjustment. In many instances, you will need to bend the wire so that the nozzle is pointing forward and upward. Once you get it right, you'll find it was time well spent.

Why am I not getting enough bass response?
It’s probably because you don’t have the right ear seal. Be sure to try out the various ear tip sizes as you may find that you need the double flange design to achieve the best possible seal. You may also want to try pulling the ear tip back slightly as it may have collapsed.

How do I know if I have a good ear seal?
When no music is playing, your voice should sound louder and ambient noise should sound quieter, very similar to wearing a pair of ear plugs. Creating a tighter seal is simple. Insert the ear tip into the ear canal and then gently pull it back. This adjustment eliminates virtually all external noise so you can play your music at a lower volume, for a longer period of time, without experiencing ear fatigue.



No mic/control button.

Yeah.. these aren't really iPhone Headphones, they are really large compared to most too. These ARE Great Audiophile grade music phones that compete with higher end Shure and Sennheiser phones. If you want great sound, this is what you want. (Or find their custom 2 like i have, or custom 3s)


Looks like they're currently priced at $49.99 at TigerDirect.com, and they're listed on TigerDirect's eBay store for $39.99 (w/free shipping) right now.


How can 20$ instant rebate on 59.00 be 49.88???? Maybe I should call and ask for 39.00$

128.88 - $59.00 = $69.88 - $20 = $49.88

The Hole is the same size on the iPhone, its simply Recessed to keep dirt out, causing some to not fit correctly. Its not a problem with this unit. My wife uses my Custom-2s on her iPhone 3GS and i use them on my iPod Classic 160g.

From the Klipsch Website;


Q: Will Klipsch headphone plugs fit my iPhone?

A: All Klipsch headphones are size-compatible with the headphone output jack for iPod, the iPhone and any device with a standard 3.5mm headphone jack.

Amazon reviews aren't that great for this model. The gist is: Great brand, bad headphones.

Note, Amazon has the Custom 2's for $79! (Normally $199) those are 100% FANTASTIC phones!

Now.. From being an Audiophile for many years, i know that reviews are as subjective as they come for speakers of any type or size.. Here are some reviews for the Custom 1s
