klipsch x10 review

Whats in the box?
image x10, 1/4 adapter, airplane adapter, 5 sets of gels and hard case.

Design:
I love the design of klipsch x10's, one of the coolest looking earbuds. I don't think there is a smaller earbud than this. small yet powerful. even the gold and black combination looks cool. kudo's to klipsch design team for that. I like the hard case given with the package because these are very tiny can be misplaced or put some weight on it so always keeping them in case helps and it looks robust

Cons:
cable is slightly tangle prone and not sure how the strain releif works.

Comfort & Isolation:
extremely comfortable when you wear them. They fit very well to my ears and I just us ethe default M size gels. They sit very well in the ear. I didn't try all the gels but there are 5 pairs of them.
they look very tiny in hands and when you are walking people don't know you are wearing them unless they see the cable :).
They are tiny but blocks the outside noise very well. Isolation is best I have seen with earbuds. Almost blocks 98% of outside noise when you are at work and home. I travel on bike can block 80% noise. the isolation is very very good.

Audio Quality:
I spent quality time with them after they are into my hands
Pros:
treble - handles very very well
wide soundstage
strong bass presence
good with all genres

Cons:
little harsh at full volume and can harm your ears

when I started to listen to them they sit inside the ear so don't need louder volume ( generally i listen at 7 or 8 now at 5 or 6 with x10). First utterly impressed with its presentation and treble. I listned to nirvana and beatles and some melodies everything sounded near perfect to me.

It has strong bass presence but not overpowered or muddy. Its versatile I have to say about the bass of klipsch X10. Now these are my primary IEM for listning and I love them. Just be careful at higher volumes
X10 has wide soundstage and instrument seperation is great. Sound is crisp and natural with every kind of song I had listen to. You cound try double flanges and isolation at 100% deep in ears.

Value & Conclusion:
They are worth every penny unless bought below 170$ price tag.
If you coolest looking and great sounding pair of IEM's get these you will be impressed.

Indian listeners: get A.R rahman songs in flac and listen ... waaahhhh!!!!
