Which IEMs should I review the Klipsch IMAGE against?

Um....oops? Guess I overlooked that one.

Geez the ER-4 and triple.fi are duking it out neck and neck! The action is nail-biting!

Ditto for the Denon C700 / C751s. There seems to be a very devoted following for these, plus a armature / dynamic comparison might be interesting.

I am one of those currently researching IE'phones for office and travel (I have K-701's at home). I've been looking at the Shure SE310 and Ety 4S, but have recently become aware of the Klipsch offerings.

I am likely to make a purchase prior to the review - it seems (from what is available by searching) that the Klipsch might be worthy contenders?

Are there any Klipsch Image owners out there with any input??

Thanks!
Michael

I don't understand why people even want to compare the IMAGE to the triple driver UE. Single driver vs a triple driver???? Where is sense? VOTE for ER-4!

IMO the ER4 and the Triple-Fi play in a different league if comapred to the other contenders. Since the Klipsch Image are indeed very fine IEMs that should be among the absolute best currently available IEMs, they deserve to be compared with other products of at least the same quality.

e.g. the Sleek Audio SA6.

I would not say the ER4 is in a different league from the Sleek SA6. I owned the ER4P/S (with the PtoS cable) and actually favored the Atrios over the Etys in head to head listening tests. Then, when the Sleeks arrived, the Atrios became expendable. So in my opinion, the Sleeks deserve to be rated with the two universal IEMs considered reference. I didn't say better, but certainly with the Ety (never owned the Triple-Fi).

Anyway, it's all opinion, but wanted to make the point that the Sleeks are worthy.

The Klipsch Image is available in single and dual driver models. I'm seriously considering the dual driver model at a local Guitar Center if I can get a short demo from the one salesperson that is never there when I am. And the UM2 is my second choice for my new portable rig of iRiver T10>Predator>IEM as yet undecided.
