Our take on the Klipsch Image X10i

X10i_sideview

Discreet earbuds deliver exceptional sound

The Klipsch® Image X10i in-ear headphones are so compact and lightweight you'll probably forget you're wearing them — until you turn on your music and they fill your ears with transparent, natural sound. Inside each earbud is a precision armature micro-speaker with a tuned bass-reflex system that delivers clear highs and mids plus deep, powerful lows. The armature is smaller and more efficient than the more traditional mini drivers found in many in-ear headphones, and it's the key to the Image X10i's stylishly compact form and fantastic performance. Klipsch also designed these anodized copper beauties in conjunction with Apple® to provide easy control of the music loaded on your iPhone®, iPod®, or iPad®.

Switch between your calls and your music with ease

imageone_remote A three-button remote control built into the headphone cable lets you conveniently answer and end calls, control the volume of your calls or music, and pause, play, or skip through your songs. You can even take calls on your iPhone hands-free, thanks to an in-line microphone. The mic features echo cancellation that keeps your voice clear so you won't have to worry about surrounding noises drowning you out.

Hands-on or hands-off, you control the show

The Image X10i makes controlling your player and your music a snap. The plus and minus buttons let you adjust the volume up and down, while the middle button handles the rest. When listening to music, press the middle button once to play or pause your tunes, twice to skip forward a track and three times to skip back. For phone use, press the middle button once to answer and once to end the call. You can also use the middle button to take advantage of the voice control feature on the latest iPhone and iPod touch models. Just hold down the button and say your command.


Stylish housings and a comfortable fit

You'll love the lightweight feel of these earbuds, with their machined aluminum casings and streamlined black "tails" that flex to reduce cable stress and noise. Choose from five different sets of Klipsch's patented oval ear tips, which naturally fit the shape of your ear canals. They'll give you an extraordinarily snug, comfortable fit for longer listening, and a tight seal that improves bass and reduces ambient noise.

Features

Overview: The Klipsch Image X10i is among the world's smallest, lightest in-ear headphone designs. The Image X10i employs a wealth of micro technology for comfortable wear and audiophile-quality listening. Plus, the X10i in-ear headphones include an advanced 3-button remote + mic for taking calls and controlling the music content on select Apple mobile devices.

Audiophile-Quality Sound: Inside each ear piece, which is made of machined aluminum and finished in anodized copper, you'll find an exclusive full-range armature micro-speaker with a tuned bass-reflex system that delivers lifelike dynamics, sonic clarity, and booming bass.

Note: Please be aware that the X10i headphone is not for casual listening. If you rip your digital music files using a poor compression format and low bit rate, this high-resolution Klipsch headset will uncover all the flaws in your content.

360° Mic Design: Unlike other headsets, the X10i positions its mic and remote at the cable yoke to create a more natural feel when answering calls and controlling music. The mic is a highly intelligible 360° design with echo cancellation, so you will be heard crystal clear and will not have to worry about the external noise around you.

Oval Ear Tips: Unlike traditional, circular-shaped ear tips that put stress on the pressure points inside your ear, the X10i headphone utilizes patented oval ear tips that naturally fit the shape of your ear canals, making them extremely comfortable and virtually impossible to feel. The Image X10i comes with three different sizes of washable single-flange silicone ear tips (S/M/L) and two different sizes of washable dual-flange silicone ear-tips (S/L).

Noise Isolation: Additionally, these exclusive ear tips produce a perfect acoustic seal, which minimizes outside noise so you can enjoy your music at lower, safer volumes.

Apple Control: Thanks to its in-line remote and microphone (which Klipsch designed in conjunction with Apple) the Image X10i offers control of your compatible Apple mobile device. The in-line 3-button remote control lets you answer and end calls, turn the volume up and down, and control music playback (Play/Pause, Fast Forward/Rewind, Previous/Skip). The in-line microphone lets you carry on a hands-free conversation from your iPhone and supports Voice Control for select iPod, iPhone, or iPad.

Note: If you have an iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad with Wi-Fi access, you can also use the Image X10i with VOIP (need an adapter for PC or Mac), Skype and iChat.

Apple Compatibility Chart: The Klipsch Image X10i is compatible with the following Apple iPod, iPhone, and iPad models (as of December 2011).

Note: Apple iPod/iPhone software updates may change functionality results. If you download a newer software version, you may need to reset your iPod/iPhone to regain functionality. If this doesn't work, you may need to revert to the older software version or wait until a newer software update is available.

51" Headphone Cable: The Image X10i in-ear headphones features a durable 51" headphone cable with built-in strain relief. The headphone cable has an adjustable cable-slider to prevent tangling.

Gold-Plated Connector: The Klipsch in-ear headphones features a gold-plated, straight, male 3.5mm connector, so it works with any portable device that features a standard 3.5mm headphone output.

Note: The X10i also comes with a 1/4" headphone adapter and an airplane adapter.

Shirt-Clip: The X10i features a shirt-clip to keep the in-line mic close to your chest when speaking.

Carrying Case: The Image X10i comes with a carrying case to store the headphones when not in use.

I knew these headphones were small — but it wasn't until I opened the box that I realized how small they were. The earbuds themselves are only slightly larger than the cables they're attached to. And the silicone sleeves don't add much to size.

The Image X10i buds are designed to fit comfortably deep in the ear canal, and they certainly did in mine. Set in the canal, the sleeves blocked out almost all of the ambient sounds around me.

Comfort was important, but what really impressed me was the sound. It was far more detailed and accurate than I expected. The X10i are well-suited for every musical genre I played (whether bass-heavy or not).

And because they were so responsive (and the sleeves blocked outside noise), I could listen safely at low volumes and not miss a note.
