No question the sound is excellent, and they are very comfortable. However, I'm giving it only 3 stars because of build quality. Do not expect to use these for everyday use. After 2.5 years the wire shorted out, and they are not repairable. There went $350 in 2.5 years of use. Not good at all. So, buyer beware!!

I have owned a pair of Shure EC3s, Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5.1 Pro, Shure SE410s, and Etymotic hf3's.
This is the BEST PAIR I HAVE EVER OWNED. Klipsch is always first in my mind when it comes to home stereo.
For home sound I use RSX5 monitors and 10"Sub both manufactured by Klipsch.
The sound is powerful and crisp; to audiophiles they will find it very similar to the sound that Cerwin-Vega monitors or floorstanding speakers will - earth shattering, LOUD, and accurate. That's exactly what these headphones sum up.
Consider the high price what you pay for as these are the very best. Highly-regarded ergonomic design, ultra-lightweightness (they feel like nothing's there) and VERY LOUD AND CLEAR. Incredible bass with that punch in-ear's usually miss. This is a professional grade set of machines.
If you want the best there is out there when it comes to in-ear, don't even think twice. I've written a similar review for the SuperFi's a while back, but those are years old and times-they-are-changin'! This is Klipsch's first leap into in-ear territory - and this flagship model - X10 Image is the very highest quality I have had the pleasure of using to listen to my wide range of music. I highly recommend this over any other similarity on the market. Everything else has become sub-par with these available to us.

There is no need to reiterate what other users have written. I am simply writing this review in order to enforce what others have said, and to encourage other buyers to purchase this product. This is truly an amazing product. Incredible sound quality and very comfortable.

The delicate wires shorted on my set and Klipsch would not honor warranty stating that Amazon was not an authorized KLIPSCH dealer. That means you are out of luck and you should consider your purchase as an "AS IS" much like EBAY>

Not worth the risk. I would look at shure or ultimate ears for alternative products. Klipsch is not the company it once was (paul, rip).

That bag hanging in my closet, yes the one with all the wires hanging out, is the headphone graveyard. I've tried most of them: BlueTooth, Nose, unSure, Toothless, you name it. These are the best so far. The sound is the first grabber. Crisp, clear, I heard details other headphones miss, classic rock and in choral music. Then, the comfort. They're very light, very small, nicely curved, and among the most comfortable out there. The isolation is good, maybe too good. If there's any drawback, they're not suitable for use in situations where you want to be aware of ambient sound, e.g. traffic. Don't use on a bicycle. For these headphones, good sound requires a good seal, so only plan on using them when your iPod is all you want to hear. Carry these plus the standard iPod/iPhone "whites" and you'll have everything you need.
