Klipsch states that this is the world's smallest and lightest full-range earphone, so naturally it's got us excited, because small and light so often equates to all-day comfort, a close second to sound quality.Of course, discerning readers will want an in-ear to do two things: accurate music reproduction and adequate noise isolation and, to this end, our long-term reference earphones have been the costly ACS T2 at £500, complete with custom-made moulds. In the real world, however, affordable in-ears can't have such tailor-made luxuries, but the £230 X10i still offers a respectable claimed -21dB noise-reduction and a spec sheet that's certainly audiophile-orientated.Nuts and boltsWhat truly marks the X10i out from its rivals is its negligible weight (10 grams!) and tiny dimensions, which equate to real ear-canal comfort and a sensation of 'nothingness'. To achieve the low weight, the X10i has an aluminium body, nicely finished with copper anodising. The 'tails' – the black sections at the end – are said to serve as an acoustic damper, cutting noise and reducing stress on the cable.The second rival-bashing feature is the patent-pending bullet-shape ear tips, which not only contribute to the sleek design and low weight, but are arguably the most comfortable in-ear tips we've used.
We review the spendy Klipsch Image X10i earbuds. They'll set you back $350, but that shouldn't be an issue for true audiophiles who want an outstanding pair of headphones.Long before Klipsch brought audio nirvana to the masses with the sub-$100 Image S4, the company was still carving out its headphone reputation for a far more discerning audience with a line of earbuds that tread knee deep into triple digits: the Image X10. Universally lauded for their performance, comfort and small size, the X10 proved that in-ear headphones didn’t need to come from a custom mold or use multiple drivers to produce sound that rivaled open-air cansMore recently, Klipsch updated this top-drawer choice with an array of smartphone-friendly trappings, birthing the X10i. Priced identically to its predecessor at a lofty $350, the X10i unites the same audiophile-grade that powered the X10 with a three-button inline remote and microphone.Aside from an inch-long blip in the cord for its new array of functions, the X10i exactly resembles its famous predecessors. The 50-inch cord terminates into two of the most miniscule drivers you’ll ever find – aluminum tubes skinnier than a number-two pencil and dressed in all copper, with a bendy rubber ends that droop down and taper to a point, bearing pressure from the cord.
