    Hi all.

    Got an email from grabone.ie that they're selling the Klipsch Image One for €65 + shipping.
    I don't have much/any experience with headphones, and I'm wondering if these would be a good place to start?

    Thanks guys.

    Never heard them but from reading opinions they're meant to be very bass heavy so depending on what you listen to they could be good or bad. If you listen to a lot of rap and other bass heavy genres then they could be a good fit. Another attractive point is they are iphone compatible. A word of warning is that the bass isn't considered very good:

    The reviewer doesn't review it but mentions it by way of comparison several times:
    Consumer-friendly levels of bass emphasis a-la Klipsch Image One....
    ....the dreadfully bassy Klipsch Image One....
    ....can nearly match the bass quantity of the Klipsch Image One but sounds much cleaner, more detailed, and more controlled....
    ....only the Klipsch Image One can match the D1100 in bass quantity, but it does so at the expense of speed and clarity....
    There are many ways to tune for consumer-friendly sound. One is to offer tons of bass and bother with little else; example: Klipsch Image One...

    €70 isn't a bad price for them since the cheapest amazon.co.uk charged for them is £70. I can't think of any headphones for a similar price at present that have the compatible apple controls. If you can forgo the apple controls, read up on the Creative Aurvana Live! or have a read through the above link for ideas.

    A freind just got a pair, they are a nice pair of headphones. Good build quality and sound, a bit punchy on the bass but I like that. They are a bargain at that price.

    Beware though that they are made for apple products and they dont work with alot of other phones etc. They worked on my kindle tablet and Denon amp with an adaptor but not my sony android phone.
