My IMAGE arrived on Saturday. Initial impression? Pretty nice, a noticeably mid-range focused sound. The bass is very good, I'm surprised - it's quick and agile and there's lots of texture to it, it really captures the differences between various types of drums well. I hope the treble improves though. Putting it on burn-in for now.

It's also supremely comfortable and isolation is good too. Not much passive attenuation (I can still hear my computer fan) but once the music starts you can't hear anything else.

Here's a pic:

They are readily available in the United Kingdom from here Amazon.co.uk: Klipsch Image - High Performance Noise-Isolating In ear headphones: Electronics & Photo

Get a load of the pricetag they are having a laugh.

Sorry about that...I believe most of the packaging decisions are just as much about being a theft-deterrent as it is about protection.

Well there's no damned way I'm buying mine from Amazon - not at that price so I'll be looking elsewhere.

Ouch! I was expecting maybe £150 max but £250 is having a laugh.

Amazon here in the US has them for $350. I'm a lover of large Klipsch floor-standing speakers, so I'll wait for more reviews and input before spending that kinda money

Count me also in the speaker fan brigade and its great seeing Klipsch enter the headphone market, but $350 is £175.82 at current rates so Amazon UK are having a laugh.

They do look very nice. I like how the mini-plug part has the same shape as the earpieces. But $350 is a little high in my opinion for these and the UK price is just ludicrous. But then again, they are the world's smallest earphones so that may be important for some. I'd like to hear them.

There is a very positive review from someone that has all the high-end IEMs here:

AHA!! So the first reviewer prefers their Etys over these. The second reviewer wants to wait for the Custom 3. As i suspected, the Ety4 is awfully hard to beat. Think I'll wait to hear the Custom 3
