What is the difference between Image X10 and Custom 3 headphones?
We are confident that you will find our Image X10 and Custom 3 headphones to be as outstanding in their own way as our loudspeakers and home theater systems.
The Image X10 and Custom 3 provide the listener with an outstanding audio experience. In fact, the choice between them will probably be a subjective one, based on listener preference and taste. For example, while the Image X10, with its remarkable small size, is the ultimate in comfort, many users might find the Custom 3 to be as comfortable, because they wrap around the top of the ear with the wire cinch. Those who wear glasses are already accustomed to how they feel.
In purely technical terms, the most significant difference between the lines is that the Custom 3 design delivers slightly lower distortion. It has two larger drivers, which have three times the diaphragm surface area, so the diaphragms do not have to move as far to create the same pressure in the ear canal. Since there is less travel for the piston to displace the same amount of air, the amount of distortion is decreased.
Conversely, those who have very small concha (biggest bowl in your ear) will find that Image series headphones provide uniform fit, which distributes the pressure more evenly in your ear; it also more effectively provides isolation and a better listening experience. Their high style and very light weight will make them a great choice for travelers who enjoy their movies and music on the go.
The Image and Custom Series were created to provide an incredible audio experience in attractive, groundbreaking packages. Regardless of which series you choose, you’re sure to discover remarkable sound.
