Why do you wear headphones? Where do you wear headphones?
If you wear your headphones to get clean accurate sound in environments where you want to focus without interruptions, these are for you.
These headphones produce a clean clear sound. The fit is perfect, and like the name suggest, they feel very custom. The snug fit produces an almost noise canceling effect blocking out all surrounding or ambient noise. I’d say these headphones would be perfect for the audiophile on the commute, at the gym or for use at your desk at work.
Klipsch is known for powerful, accurate and clean audio. These headphones are a good example and representation of the quality and precision they are know for.
These headphones come with a really nice case that can double as an iPod carrying case, a few options for ear jells to insure your custom fit, and an extension for the two pronged 1/8th inch headphone jacks seen on airplanes.
Summary
These Custom-2 headphones produce a bright, clean and obscured sound quality consistent with some of the other high end headphones on the market. They are stylish and fit well.

Product Suggestions
I’d prefer to hear a little more bass boost, have a volume control on the cord, and give the user some options for ear gels that let a little more ambient sound in.

sick headphones… how would they work while riding? shock- or water-resistant?

I’m not sure I would recommend these for riding (mt biking or on snow). They are durable with a nice cord but I personally like to hear ambient noise with some backgorund music when I’m on my own or with a buddy in the backcountry. One other element I didn’t mention in the review is that when traveling up or down in elevation the snug fitting gels cause my ears to build up pressure making the ear piece a little uncomfortable.
If your talking about pure audio, they rock.
