Klipsch Image X5 In-Ear Headphones

Design

The Image X5 is designed in a radical manner that sets it apart from other earphones. These bullet-shaped wonders are very slim in shape and design, and feature a long aerodynamic tail on both ear-tips. The ear-tips themselves are made of patented silicone material that is both soft and oval in shape to match the contour of your ear canal. The result is a tight-but-comfortable fit that seals each ear so as to allow only the desired music to reach your ears while cutting out undesired noise from outside. This also allows you to listen to music at lower levels and protects your ears in the process. The X5 earphones are available in an anodized aluminum finish that looks cool when they are out of your ears since they become almost invisible when inserted in your ears.

Actual user review:
“Although I was once a professional bass player in a previous life, I’m going to try to tell you in plain English why these are great earphones. The bass is excellent. It is clear and defined, not muddy or boomy. The quality is such that you can tell if the bass is in tune. Indeed, you can discern the quality of the instrument. The midrange is good. Male voices are clear with no unwanted low overtones. Female voices are crystal clear. The highs have a sparkle without being harsh or raspy. What this means in real life is that you can hear each individual instrument, even when that instrument is in the background. For those of you who saved all those high bit-rate mp3′s, you can now hear the reason you did that. These earphones compare very favorably with my high end Sennheiser headphones. If you buy the Image X5 earphones, you will not regret it. You know you want them.” – R.Cummings (NC, USA)

Features

The X5 has several features that have enabled it to win awards and praises after its launch. Since human ears vary in shape and size, the X5 comes with 5 different sizes of soft silicone ear tips that can be removed and washed. The X5 also features a premium carrying pouch along with an airline adaptor, and an ear-tip cleaning tool. The X5 also comes with 50 inch long cables. The X5 uses a full-range balanced driver along with a bass-reflex system that translates into accurate reproduction of each frequency that minimizes phase distortion as it accelerates linearly. In plain English, this translates into clear reproduction of music with minimal distortion. You are sure to hear instruments that were missing when you listened to the same song with another brand of headphones. These features make the Image X5 provide premium sounds at an earthly price.

Performance

The X5 might be Lilliputian in size but make no mistake, they do pack a punch. With a frequency response of 10Hz to 19kHz and sensitivity of 115dB SPL/mW [1mW], these earphones can reproduce most musical instruments and vocals with precise clarity. In addition the X5 allows you to experience tight bass, clear vocals and sharp-but-comfortable highs. The silicone ear-tips complete the sealing process of each ear thereby enhancing bass while keeping out unwanted noise from distorting your music. The result is a concert hall effect that has been tuned only for your hearing pleasure. Unlike other earphones that become uncomfortable and sweaty after a few songs, the X5 can sit snugly inside your ears for many hours and reward you with crystal clear music, song after song. The superior noise isolating properties along with an excellent seal ensure that you only hear the desired song instead of outside noise filtering in to distract you. Whether you own an iPhone, iPod or any other device, a few settings on your equalizer will help you achieve the perfect acoustics for your ears and enable you to listen to each instrument as if it were placed inside your ear.

• “The overall sound signature is not cold and lifeless like the Etymotics. Most of you can get a decent fit with the stock tips included with the X5s, the oval shape really fit my ears nicely, and the nice bass will add just the right amount of warmth as intended by your music, drums strikes are individually discernible, the kick drum magnificently reminds you its there. Bass isn’t just the obligatory “boom” anymore, now it’s what the artist and mastering technician intended. Mids are perfect, you can hear the rasp and breath in a voice. There is no distortion in the highs, little details surround you, sibilance is not a problem. High notes on the Violin are crisp, both the leading and trailing edges of the notes flow smoothly. Many users say the X10 has more bass, I have found the X10 seems to have more quantity because it seems to go a little bit deeper into your ear due to it’s smaller size. However, the X5s have ample bass that gives the music full-bodied life. There is no shortage, and the treble extension and overall accuracy of the X5s is actually better than the X10s. I know $250 seems steep for a Single Balanced-Armature earphone, when others claim to have two or three Armatures to bring more range. Remember a well-made single Balanced Armature is good enough. Compare to the Shure, and every other brand, Klipsch Image IEMs are the most comfortable for universal IEMs. The X5s are very small, they can easily be worn for hours on end.” – Seeingdoublerr (USA)

• “I am a web developer and listen to my iPod about 7+ hours a day while at work, and when working out. I was a bit hesitant to pay a lot for earphones, but I love my music, listen all day, and was tired of Apples ear buds. I read many reviews before my purchase and looked at many other headphones. I finally decided on the Klipsch X5s. When I got them I was hoping they would sound good for the money I paid, but really was more impressed than I thought I would be. The sound is absolutely amazing, and they are extremely comfortable. I easily forget I even have them in. My only problem is that the sound isolation is so good that I often get startled at work by someone tapping my back because I can’t hear them. They’ll hold conversations with my back not realizing I can’t hear a single word they’re saying. Who needs noise canceling when the sound isolation is so great with the X5s. Only other headphones I’d trade in my X5s for would be the X10i. I do miss my 3 button remote on the cord that came with my iPod Touch 32G. But for the quality sound these provide, I can take a moment to press pause on my iPod.” – K.Sederquist (Sonora, CA)
