I recently bought a pair of klipsch image x10 earbud headphones and have compared them to my Shure se310. I only decided to buy an extra pair of headphones because my wife is constantly using mine in her ipod nano. Cant blame her the stock headphones apple provide are throw aways. After listening to both headphones the klipsch are not even in the same catagory as Shure. The bass is good but alot of detail is missing when listening to acoustic tracks such as the Beatles and Fleetwood Mac. The size also through me off. The Klpisch seems to be of a lesser quality build compared to the Shure. Wire is quit thin and the earbuds are very dainty. Although Klipsch fits more comfortably in your ear and are much less intrusive than the Shures I can’t do without the high mids. When you buy these headphones though you do get a very good accessories kit including a airplane headphone jack (double prong) all kinds of different earbuds a cleaning wire a small magnetic case and a largeer full zipper case. Compared to many other brands headphones out there though I would’nt say Klipsch is not worth a consideration. For the price though I think they are high for what you get.
