"Well worth the price! Glad I took a chance." on by jbjtkbw00--2008
Pros: Great feel. Lighter. Sound is awesome. Love the accessories. Very thoughtful to include a cleaning tool and an airplane adapter.
Cons: Not really a con but could use a little more bass. And the jury is still out on the cord. No issues with it so far, but yes, they do feel a bit flimsy.
Summary: I fly regularly. A while back, I received the Bose® in-ear headphones. I could never get them to fit properly on my ears for one. I suffered through them for 3 years. Always falling out and I could never get a good sound. Plus I always had to have my iPod or my Blackberry Storm turned all the way up to hear my music at a decent volume. So, while in the airport, I went over to the electronics stand and decided to try some different earphones. I've tried the Shure products before, but wanted to give the Klipsch a go since I have a Klipsch 5.1 system on my computer that rocks. Talk about never looking back.....
I didn't hesitate and even received 20% off the price. My flight to and from LA from Orlando was perfect. All I heard was the sweet sound of my music and this was from my Blackberry. Sounds even better on the iPod. I listen to lots of electronic, hip hop, dance, classic rock and lots of old school stuff (dance, rap, 80's, metal) and let me tell you these did not disappoint. I heard vocals that I never heard through headphones before. Listening to the Lord of the Rings soundtrack, it was like watching the dvd in surround. I was stunned. Thanks to these headphones, I listen to my portable music even more now.
Bottom line, much like the CNET review says, a good pair of headphones will carry you for a while. Do it once and you're set for years to come. Sure, you can find some lesser priced earphones for less that sound ok, but if you want great sound, spend the money and dive into these headphones. -

"Great earphones. My music has never sounded better." on by dwcliff
Pros: Comfortable...Great sound....nice extras (case, extra ear fittings, airplane adapter)
Cons: Expensive....although a little searching will find you $100 off the retail
Summary: Saw these earphones on sale online and decided to see if they really were all they were promoted to be. Figured I could return them if not. After receiving them and making sure that the right earplugs were on them I decided to test them against my normal in ear earphones....that I thought sounded great. Plugged each set into my laptop headphone jacks and started some jazz on iTunes and started comparing headsets. Wow....I was really surprised. My several year old Sonys that I thought sounded just fine required a pretty good boost in the volume levels to hear them just right....listened for awhile then switched to the X5s. I was a little shocked at the difference. First I had to turn down the volume substantially. These earphones do not require much volume to sound full. I guess I didn't realize what I wasn't hearing in my old ones. I'm not a sound expert, but I could hear everything in such definition. Voices were crisp and unmuted and each instrument had amazing clarity. I kept switching back and forth and continued to shake my head at the amazing differences in what I was hearing. Glad I made the purchase and glad I saved $100 in doing so! Can't go wrong with these great little earphones.

"Excellent sound reproduction and comfort" on by Tertullus
Pros: The bass is remarkably clear and lifelike, not boomy or muddy. The middle range is good and the highs are excellent. These buds are very comfortable.
Cons: A tad pricy.
Summary: Did you save a lot of mp3's at a high bitrate? With these earphones you *will* be able to hear why you did that. These earphones give tight, detailed sound. Each instrument can be clearly identified without blending into a muddy background. You will hear your favorite music as never before.

"You'll never have to buy earphones again! Amazing!" on by mchou8
Pros: Excellent sound. Light. Nice cleaning tool. Perfect bass.
Cons: No cons so far.
Summary: I love this product and though they are $250 (which is a little pricey and I would never pay that much for earphones), you can get them for cheaper, hint: Amazon. I got them for about $160 and yes they are worth it! I think Klipsch should sell them for $200. But the sound experience is phenomenal! With the highs, lows, and bass are perfect. I could not ask for more. Great job on Klipsch! I am very impressed and satisfied. I won't be buying another pair of earphones for a LONG time. Only probably when I lose these. Seriously though, when I close my eyes and really listen, I feel like I am in front of the artist playing for me. Yes! It sounds that good! Best earphones ever!
