"Now, for the newcomers. $349.99 buys you a well-designed box, a sleek hardshell carry case, an airplane socket adapter, a 3.5mm-to-1/4" adapter, the X10i, a clothing clip and a variety of single and dual-flanged ear tips"

You think everyone that bought an iPod is dumb. Wow.

I do think these are too expensive for earbuds, but it's not like this price point is something new. The iPod controls, however, are a fantastic addition. I often listen to music while working or exercising, and it's great to be able to seamlessly answer a phone call or control the iPod without having to touch the device. ]]>Feb 1st 2010 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/everyday the same 50 idiots spamming apple hating comments.

I been here for awhile actually. The ipad joke isnt over yet, it's just begun.

Yeah, I'm not really convinced that there's a huge benefit to such expensive earbuds. Like anything though, there's plenty of enthusiasts that I'm sure are interested in stuff like this.

That said, I have a pair of Etymotic HF2's that I received as a gift. I think they retail around $150. I really enjoy how clear the treble and vocals come though on them. It's much better than the Apple supplied earbuds and the few pairs of $30-50 earbuds that I've accumulated over the years. ]]>Feb 1st 2010 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/

"everyday the same 50 idiots spamming apple hating comments. What the the world do to them to deserve so much hating?"

Here is a brilliant solution for EVERYONE.

STOP DOING IT PERIOD!

This goes for the people coming here to tell people that their iPod purchase is dumb.

The people going to Microsoft posts to tell those people that their purchase was dumb.

The people that go to Android posts to tell them that their purchase was dumb.

Or the PS3/Wii/Xbox folks that do the same thing!

No one side has some halo around there heads as some sort of victim of this type of nonsense. But if you are really a "geek" like I'm sure some of you fancy yourself as being them maybe some humility and restraint is more appropriate when it comes to your "opinion" of what you THINK someone should or should not buy or use. ]]>Feb 1st 2010 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/Anyone dumb enough to make a comment like this is either deaf, broke or just hates his music.]]>Feb 1st 2010 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/
Pretty much the ipod is a failure. Only people with IQ's under 90 and are worried about buying whats 'cool' buy those pieces of junk with sh8 sound quality.

I'm sure readers here will be able to quite easily ascertain who has the below average IQ around here.

Clearly you're trolling here, so this will be the last of my responses to you. Hopefully you sort out whatever the heck is wrong with you that fuels you to behave this way.

Says who? You? I only listen to lossy stuff when it's 1 - the only thing available, and 2 - when I have space constraints (like my cell phone that doesn't even have all of its 16GB card free). Otherwise, FLAC, ALAC, or leave me alone.]]>Feb 1st 2010 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/
I have a pair of UE 700 and that argument isn't definitive as even compressed music sounds better on good earphones than bad ones that don't have the same dynamic range, soundstage etc. These phones also insulate from ambient sounds which if anything will make you want to start listening to higher bit rate sampled music as you start to hear the flaws in your highly compressed music collection. I find that my UE 700's really start to flatter music once they get turned up fairly loudly although this causes fatigue.

Problem is, unless you are rich, expensive phones like these give you another expensive possession to worry about standing on, dropping, losing etc.]]>Feb 1st 2010 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/Feb 1st 2010 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/
Sadly enough, that is one of the biggest reasons why records sound better than re-released albums on CD. I am hoping that as more higher end iPhone compatible headphones come out, more people will care about sound quality, but I highly doubt it.]]>Feb 1st 2010 8:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/Feb 1st 2010 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/yes, but imagine paying $350 with normal packaging.. bad to worse]]>Feb 1st 2010 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/Its all in the presentation Exile, all in the presentation. When someone is ponying up $350 for a set of earbuds I would think they are looking to be awed from the moment they open the box. Think of the packaging like a Wonderbra. Sure, the contents may be smaller than you originally thought, but the packaging is one of the things that gets your attention in the first place.

I didn't think anyone off Long Island even knew who Envy on the Coast were. I grew up in the the same town as the lead singer (Ryan Hunter.)

I would NOT recommend getting the wireless bundle with the SA-6's though. It's not really that great...not many improvements over A2DP and there is still a lag (latency) so they cannot be used for recording or live instrument playin.

Also if you are looking for something a little bit cheaper, check out the SA-1's...they're a very good product as well. I believe engadget has reviews for both the SA-6 and the SA-1's and they were both extremely positive. ]]>Feb 1st 2010 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/The Klipsch earphone line is very mcuh respected as well for their sound, and then there's Ultimate Ears, Westone, and the new low-end custom manufacturers that are popping up every now and again. However, the old kings (UE-customs) and the new kid on the magic block (JH-audio) are pretty much setting the standards at the moment.

Although this is the second time in a week I've seen you use 'peek' rather than the standard slang 'peep' - as in "Peep Delta. We be flyin' all over this bitch."

Not a big deal, but if using 90's hip-hop slang is going to be codified as part of the "Engadget style," correct usage should be enforced.

I'm pretty sure they say "iPhone" because of the remote that's attached to the cord that lets you control volume, change tracks, answer the phone, etc.. I'm pretty sure Blackberry's do something similar, but most earbuds with these style controls advertise as being iPhone friendly. ]]>Feb 1st 2010 12:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/Feb 1st 2010 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/Feb 1st 2010 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/klipsch-image-x10i-iphone-friendly-earbud-impressions/I guess if you rip your music in a lossless format then yes you should be able to take advantage of $350 headphones.
