Klipsch Image X5 IEMs

This post has been long due and every single time I start writing, something or the other comes up :(. Hoping to make some progress today...

First let me make it clear that I prefer IEM over the full-size headphones. I got the Klipsch Image X5 IEM as a gift from my husband immediately after our wedding (what better occassion!!). First of all I loved it when I saw five ear tips instead of the usual three. I finally found one that fits my tiny ears really well :)

I have pretty much listened to most of Porcupine Tree, Opeth, Dave Matthews Band, Nirvana, Steely Dan, White Stripes, Pink Floyd, etc...and I can confidently say that these are the best IEMs I've ever used. They produce excellent sound isolation. Noise filtering is just terrific, once I have these on all that I could listen is just the music and nothing else, no more distractions and outside noise when listening to music. In terms of sound quality, the X5s are truly brilliant, the highs and lows are crisp and clear, all frequencies sound just about perfect. Using these I can actually see the kind of detail at the low frequencies that the other IEMs miss out. It was quite a thrill to discover the sounds that I missed out in certain songs when I used my old IEMs.

The design of the IEMs are unique and really nice. They fit nicely in the ears without causing any ear ache and aid comfortable listening for longer durations. The housing is a little bigger than the other IEMs but then others cannot hold a candle against the X5s sound quality besides, being bigger doesn't make them uglier, they look good and unique. The cable does seem very delicate but it seems to hold up well, so I am not complaining about it.

The X5s also come with a cleaning kit and small leather box to store them when not in use. This box is one of the best storage boxes I've seen for an IEM, its elegant and nice and has enough room to store the whole thing without having to wind the cable too much.

I don't really have anything negative to say about these IEMs, its built well, looks great, comfortable to use and above all listening to music in this just blows me away. Listening to music has never been so pleasurable. Before I got this one, wanting to listen to a specific band was why I would listen to music, but this IEM has totally changed it. Even when I am not that crazy about listening to a specific band, I would like to listen to music old or new simply because this IEM sounds awesome. Image X5s have become a motivation to listen to music everyday :) (The previous sentence might not have made much sense to everyone, but I'm sure you get the point ;)).

Long live Klipsch Image X5s.
