Typical price: £150
What is it: High-end, sound-isolating earphones
What we think: The Custom-3 'phones are bursting with detail, warmth and power, but their design and fit won't suit everyone
What you need to know
Reviewed on: 7 July 2008
Tags: klipsch, drivers, pair, sound quality
We like:
Performance with jazz, vocal, acoustic and folk music; extremely balanced, clear and detailed sound
We don't like:
Design and fit; high end lacks a certain brightness
You might also need:
6.3mm adaptor
CNET.co.uk judgement:
Although not a pair of earphones we'd recommend to a user wanting extreme comfort, the Klipsch Custom-3 earphones are without question a pair we'd recommend for their sound quality -- balanced, powerful and bursting with detail

We've gone ears-on with the Sennheiser MM 200 Bluetooth earphones, and we like what we heard. The question is, are they worth the £100 asking price?
