Image X10 Headphones

"Musical, comfortable, lightweight and sturdy, the Klipsch Image is everything you want from a pair of headphones." (Received the magazine's award for Best In-Ear Headphones £100+)

For the Stuff Gadget Awards 09, the X10 was "highly commended." Before that, the publication ran a glowing review of the headphones, calling them "an astounding achievement."

"If you value the quality of your music listening over the quantity of songs you possess, and can appreciate subtleties that only premium earphones can showcase, and have the means to satisfy these aural cravings, then the Klipsch X10s are all the justification you need."

"The bottom line here is that these little buds cannot disappoint, delivering enough distortion free power to make their speaker forefathers proud."

"The noise isolating design was immersive and so effective at stopping ambient noise ..."

"...you’re getting one of the best pair of portable headphones we’ve heard."

"I've been using Klipsch's top-of-the-line X10s for months now. Aside from being the most comfortable in-ear headphones I've ever used, the X10s are some of the most amazing-sounding in-ear headphones I've ever used. You have never really heard massively deep bass through headphones until you've experienced X10s. They sell for $349, and in my book are worth every penny."

"The Image model is arguably the smallest and lightest high-performance earbud ever made, and its sonic goodness derives in part from its electromechanical simplicity; it's a single-armature..."

"One point I can't emphasize strongly enough is that the Images are so small and light, and fit so beautifully, that you all but forget you're wearing them."

“Klipsch Images are, hands down, the most comfortable and easy-to-use in-ear headphones we’ve ever tested.”

“One of the Image’s greatest strengths is its ability to convey low-level sonic information in a pure, believable, cohesive way. Harmonics, overtones, and other small details always sound like natural organic extensions of the voices from which they originate. It’s a subtle quality that quickly becomes addictive.”

" ... there's no doubt that Klipsch has delivered a design that is smaller and more comfortable without compromising on power."

"Image makes you feel like you're listening to a speaker system with a good subwoofer ..."

"... I have to say that these are, quite simply, the most comfortable earphones I have ever used."

"If you're a regular runner, you will absolutely love these earphones, since they don't pull at your ears when you're pounding those miles."

"The Klipsch Images aren't just about comfort and looks, they also pack a pretty good punch when it comes to sound quality. In fact I was quite surprised by how full a sound the Images produce, considering just how tiny the single driver is - there's an impressive amount of bass response on offer, which of course in aided by the excellent seal produced by those silicone tips. "

"If you're looking for what may be the most comfortable earphone in the world for almost everyone, look no further. Combine that with performance that will please that same general populous, and you've got a solid earphone."

"That Klipsch has put a lot of work into the design of these earphones is pretty easy to spot. They look way better than any other in-ear I have ever seen. I never thought I would say this about an in-ear, but these look cool and stylish - definitely not your usual dorky looking phones."

"The contour ear gels are definitely some of the best silicone tips I have ever tried. Insertion was easy and the seal was tight yet still extremely comfortable."

"Overall the Klipsch Images are a very articulate pair of earphones that makes most kinds of music shine. The tonal balance is also pleasing and makes them easy to listen to. Nothing sound particularly bad on these in-ears, they are good at almost everything and truly excel when it comes to rock and pop in my opinion."

"The silicone tips blocked our plane's drone so well that when we closed our eyes midflight we felt as if we were listening to Coltrane in our den."

" ... if you're looking for an ultracomfortable, great sounding set of earbud-style headphones, these guys don't disappoint."

" ... we think noise-isolating headphones such as the Image sound better, clearer, and more accurate than active noise-canceling headphones ..."

"The Klipsch earphones completely shut out the noises around me. It was remarkable. ... The noise-isolation quality of Image was pretty close to the active noise-cancellation effect in my full size headphones. But the real difference was the comfort."

"There were actually times while listening to the Klipsch Image earphones that I could swear I felt a kick drum in my chest, much like I would while listening to large speakers paired with a great subwoofer. That is how great the low end is on these incredibly small earphones!"

"The impressively small and lightweight design, solid accessory set, killer comfort, and excellent sound make this one of our favorite sets of in-ear headphones."

"...they are worth every penny. These are ultra-small, ultra-lightweight ear buds that sound amazing. They produce the deepest, most impressive bass I've ever heard coming from a set of headphones. You can almost feel the bass (like you do with Klipsch loudspeakers). Voices and midrange sounds are pretty amazing too."

"The other thing you should know about Image headphones is their comfort level. They are very small, very lightweight and are the least fatiguing in-ear headphones I've ever used."

“Truth be told, I have never used a more comfortable in-ear style earphone. These were so light that I really didn’t know they were there. The seal was tight which blocked out most all the outside noise around me. The added advantage to such a good seal is that I didn’t have to turn up the volume of my iPod to dangerous levels. Usually, even in the noisiest environments, I only had to go to about half volume to produce loud and beautiful sound.”

“The Klipsch Image earphones are simply the most amazing earphones I have ever listened to. The sound is full, the bass is incredible, the high end is clear and believable and the sound stage is just not to be believed.”
