Klipsch Image X10i Hands-On Review

[ordoabciao]

I have owned 2 pairs of X10s. The originals and the 10i's. They both sounded great and both had the same problem of not working after I got earwax on them. They are very difficult to keep clean because of the design. which has a very narrow hole that's about double the length of the cleaning tool head. Chord noise is a minor issue but still annoying. I prefer Atomic Floyd Superdarts or even B&W P5s, both of which are better made & sound better.

$150 off ebay...

[straightupginger]

fuck you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!



[musicforindies]

they are comfortable I don't like the packaging the cardboard "open here" rips the packaging apart which makes it impossible to return and less resale I guess, if the product is so great why do they try and make it as hard as possible to return. BAD! These aren't Triple drivers like the Shure SE535 and to be honest if you shove any earphone down your ear far enough like these they'll sound pretty good.

They're lite and they're comfortable though, build quality is so so, definitely not worth $350

[blackgray14]

I HAVE THESE i like them:)



[CWestz]

In australia the earphones are $400(AU)

[MrPlaystationboy]

i am the onley one who think they look like a pair of penises

[Ana5555551]

@MrPlaystationboy haha to me they look more like sperm :3

[TheGoody1241]

when i first got these i was dissapionted compared to my S4's but then i let them play for a couple nights overnight and it took quite a bit of time to break in but they sound amazing now and am very happy with them the key in my experience with them was patience until they break in to their full potential and couldnt be happier

[MrSec84]

I've recently bought these and they sound amazing.

I also have the Sennheiser IE8s, have owned them for well over two years, loved them all of this time and I have to say I prefer the sound of the X10is.

IMO the bass is more defined and more detailed than the ie8s.

Overall sound of the X10i's is better than those, they have a more energetic presentation, better highs and mids.

I think the X10i make the music feel far more real than the IE8s.

This is my opinion, will differ from other users.

klipsch x10i or monster turbine pro gold w/ control talk?????

[BadButNotSad]

@mjmets37 Klipsch's cheaper IEs are better for the price, Monster is completely overpriced!

So, if you want good sound for less money, buy the Klipsch S4 (about 70-80 dollars, I think. I don't know the exact price, because I live in Germany and here, it costs about 50-70€, I paid 75€ when they came out)

If you really want to pay about 300-400 dollars you should buy either the Westone UM3x, the Shure 535 or the Ultimate Ears 10! Maybe the Sennheiser IE8 because they offer great bass quantity.

[marekiam]

@mjmets37 the klipsch, the monster turbine are so heavy that if you're moving at all they'll fall out of your ear (had a pair and hated them for that) Even if you try to pin them in your ears with a hat or something like that

[hdgamevideos1]

I bought these and love them!! They work great with my iphone 4 and the sound is incredible. I have used Shure se425s and monster gold turbines and I think these are better sounding and more comfortable. Little tip about these, I spoke with Klipsch to confirm this and they said with a cheap y adapter you can use these on your pc for things that use a mic like Skype and PC Gaming!!

[vexun11]

these headphones will NOT slip out of your ears at all, they are extremely light weight you barely need a seal to get them to stick in and sound amazing.

[Titleification]

fucken rip off

[dinjin201]

@Titleification If you've never tried high end headphones of any sort, you're really really missing out on all the details in your music. $350 might be a lot, but I would spend about $80 and get some image S4's from the same company. :)

[cameronj279]

i have to say, the shape of them looks too easy to fall out of your ears, i've just ordered some UE triple fi.10's, can't wait to try them

[SACRAMANIAC916]

The S4's ARE THE SHIT!!!!

[2mnyshp]

i got the regular x10. great headphones! but come on for this price i'd have expected a nice, high quality tangle free cable (something like some v-modas have)

[Sam737loverfsx]

What is the best earphone between the Klipsch Image X10i and the sennheiser ie8 ??

thanks

[BarcaBosch]

get shure se535! better

[IgnoredComment]

@BarcaBosch every Shure are overpriced and break down too easy.

[BarcaBosch]

@IgnoredComment i agree with you on that, they do cost a lot and break down pretty easy, but they are still better.

[fullireviews]

Hey if I don't use lossless music are these bad

[rexatar]

@fullireviews i would say that you should just go with the s4. I love the s4 with ipods, I think that the s4 is pretty much the best headphones you need for ipods (without an amp)

[osbely]

every time i hear that price i wince.

[karunald]

@osbely worth it though.

[SavingPrivateBrian]

I was interested in these....until I saw this video. I thought that these would be like $150 but $350? WTF!? Maybe $350 for Bose or Sennheiser over-ear headphones but not in ear headphones come on!

[phuphroo]

@SavingPrivateBrian sennheiser yes bose no dont waste your money on that crap

[SIhOcIKwAvIE]

@SavingPrivateBrian you get what you pay for. thats quality for lossless music

[SavingPrivateBrian]

@SIhOcIKwAvIE I guess so but it's still too much in my opinion

[aznpatrik00]

@SavingPrivateBrian

bose isnt actually all that great, even the thunder base from brookstore is better than bose, and there are some earphones for 1200 dollars. haha

[myparrots1]

im thinking of getting these to compare to my current earphones

[Nebraskahusker23]

I have the X10s and they're incredible. Only drawback is that whenever the cord even slightly comes into contact with anything else you hear it, and it's incredibly loud. It's given me multiple headaches before

[lgrocks01]

everyone is bitching about 350 dollars and more overprice earphone over to ultimate earphones spend 1400 for damn headphones

[DI3S3L666]

If you're an audiophile, you won't be looking for detailed listening pleasure from a portable mp3 device, specially not from an iPod. But if people want to waste their money, it's none of my concern.

[myparrots1]

@DI3S3L666 so dont concern yourself then

[Dead1M]

EHM, what? $350,- ? I'll keep it with my standard iPhone earphones..

[TheNinjat]

thoes cost more than a tv i baught and it is also more or at leas as expencive ss an x box 360

[kasbahlover]

A the beginning he said you needed them for the ipod nano but you can not use it with the ipod nano. He ment to say Shuffle I think.

[VakomaNOVA]

he looks like the guy from kick ass

[otterboxiphone]

Psssssssssssss. 350$!
