Klipsch-X10i

Andy-Pandy

Hey all,

I'm finally going to invest in a decent pair of earphones again. I was looking at these Klipsch-X10i on amazon and they are my front runner at the moment. Before i purchase i just wanted to see if anybody had anything negative to say about them, or could give me a better alternative in the same price range (€150-200).

Thanks,

Andrew

Good headphones, but they come up a bit cheaper than that from time to time...

Actually, i've just seen the x10 for £99 on amazon, I might just go with them at that price. The only difference i can see is the mic (does the mic on the x10i work on a android phone?)

I'm not sure about Android to be honest...

There's an Irish on line shop selling these with free postage.

If you are willing to wait or call them they often sell off "reconditioned" models,

I have seen the X10i go for EUR 120 and X10i Lou Reed Signatures go for EUR 150. (Purchased a set myself a few months back) Only dislike about these headphones is that the very light cables intend to tangle.

Warranties last 2 months on the reconditioned headphones.

Mic on the X10 works fine with Apple.

I've had a set of the Klipsch x10i for about a year. Overall, they are an excellent pair of earphones. I came from a set of rubbish standard Apple ones and when I got the x10i I could hear new things in my music that I had never heard before. It was brilliant! I accidentally left them at home when I was travelling recently and bought a cheap set of JVC earphones abroad and it was only then that you truly realise how good the x10i are.

That said, I agree with Run_to_the_hills about the lightness of the cable. I would have expected a much higher quality to be honest and they do tangle quite a bit but I can live with it. They come with a little black leather box which helps keep them tidy. They work great with iOS but I'm not sure about Android.

A few weeks ago, I saw a guy in Dixons in the airport paying €288 for them!!! If you can get them for around the €130/€150 mark then I'd say go for it.

€288 for them!!! :eek:

For an extra e50 you would pick up a pair of Sure 535's and these have detachable cables.

Or get your own custom molded earphones for far less...

Thanks for the reply's everyone

I went for the x10's for £99. I cant wait for good earphones again, the last pair I had where Bang and Olufsen's that where in a jacket that got nicked. Overall i'm happy with the price. I'll let ya know what I think of them.

You were right to go for the cheaper ones - the x10i mic does not work on an android phone. These earbuds won't disappoint you - the sound quality is excellent.

Just a quick report on these. They are fantastic. By far the best earphones i have ever owned. The sound is amazing, it seems so clear and layered. Well worth the money if anyone is looking in this price range.
