The best sounding headphones in its price range!

I use these with the Sony NW-A25 and it sounds fantastic! Very natural, clear, crisp sound! I was hesitant to get these because I'm a high schooler and I could barely afford them but it was definitely worth the price! I compared these to my Westone W10 and you can really hear the difference, especially in the highs which is obviously because of the super tweeter.
Pros: Comfortable, Compact, Durable, Good Bass, Good Value, Great Sound, Isolated, Lightweight, Quality, Stylish
I would recommend this to a friend!

Klipsch Does it Again!

This is now my 3rd pair of Klipsch headphones and again I am not disappointed. I was a little skeptical about the price tag but believe me, it is worth every penny. Made truly for an Audiophile, you will fall in love with these from the time you first listen to them, all the way until they fail to produce anymore sound which is unlikely to happen given my experience with Klipsch. Until I see a reason not to, I will buy Klipsch products over any other brand. Thank you Klipsch for developing another masterpiece, and making my music come alive!
Pros: Attractive, Compact, Durable, Good Audio

Finally, Comfortable Audiophile Sound Quality IEM's!

Klipsch hit the ball out of the park with this product! Excellent audiophile full range sound, ear buds that are so comfortable and lightweight, cables that are noise free. I thought their X11i ear buds were good but the cable noise was a deal breaker plus the x20i's sound is much better. The only other pair of ear buds I enjoyed for their sound quality were the Sony XBA-Z5 but their sport style ear holder was not comfortable.
Pros: Attractive, Compact, Durable, Good Audio

family heirloom

6 years of ownership as of now.
Lost the first set, bought another. Amazing sound with a slight warmth (like another review said). Triple driver IEMs. Stock "I" is still in perfect shape but then...
After 5 years of searching I finally found someone who had female Screw-type coaxial SSMCX connectors (in the Netherlands) and they made a custom balanced headphone cable for my X20s. RARE!
Paired with the balanced output on my Klipsch Headphone amp - unREAL! it really should be called the x21 with the balanced headphone cable. It sounds insane. Totally different set of IEMS. Perfectly flat and refined. less warm but in a good way - just clean flat powerful sound. So much shape and detail.
these sit on my desk and never leave the house. it will stand the test of time as we pass it down through the generations.
please make more wired hifi headphones and IEMs, Klipsch. Please.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Still annoyed that the we don't have Android functionality

Verified Purchase:No
It would be really nice to not have to spend $$$$$ on headphones and continue to see only the ridiculous iCommunity supported. There are more Android phones in the world, check the stats and it seems that if I can get this in cheaper models, I should be able to get this in a premium set of buds. This is simply ridiculous
Pros: Attractive, Good Audio
Cons: No Android volume control

The best gone even better

Upgraded to X20i from my old X10i. The move was complicated. At first I didn't even get the difference. However, after some break-in the X20i opened all it's beauty and power to my ears. The precision of the sound, the perfectly detailed sounds at every single music genre you put these to is just insane. I love the highs - they are very musical and strong. The mids are a lot more precise than X10i (who could have thought it's possible at all?) and the lows are strong and fast. The LF response with a dedicated low driver COULD be better(or stronger), but yet there are armature so you can live with that. Especially considering the fact that they DO give that punch with powerful electronic music. The downside is they are heavier than X10i. This could be an issue wearing the for long time, but I did not yet find any discomfort using those. Also, while they are good with a phone, insanely good with an iPod Classic - adding an amp is uhm, USELESS. I tried the new Hi-Res Audio-Technica headphone amplifier and it did not change a thing. Hope this is because they are sensitive enough to play descentyl with anything. Hey, Klipsch, GIVE US REPLACEMENT CABLES - 6.3mm, XLRs cables with no mic, coiled cables for PC use etc. Maybe a wireless module with Bluetooth? The removable cable tech could upgrade the X20i in so much ways!
Pros: Attractive, Compact, Good Audio
Cons: Heavy

Have Tried Hard to Like These
on June 19, 2017
Posted by: Devoted Listener

I looked forward to enjoying these when I bought them three months ago. The flat sound, however, is a real drawback. Two months ago, I bought an equalizer to try to help, but it didn't really solve the problem. I find myself sometimes unconsciously yawning in a vain attempt to try to clear my ears while I'm listening with these, since the sound is so muted. Both of my older, much cheaper Klipsch in-ear phones are great and allow more enjoyment of the music than these do. I'm past the period where I can return them for a refund, but would do so if I could.
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Good Bass
Cons: Poor Sound, Sound too flat
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
