Default Klipsch Image Price Hike

Just after long and tiring research decided to buy Klipsch X10 found out that Klipsch again increased the price on Image, I saw the price on What hifi as 180 which was increased after December discount of 129 from 229, now again the price on klipsch uk site is 229 for X10s.

Amazing in these harsh economic conditions companies are doing all whatever possible to lure customer with attractive price cuts or goodies Klipsch is hiking price. I am sure they will be badly hit on sales as other competitors like Senn on IE8 and Shure are offering better price.

May be headphone business is not Klipsch's cup of team, I am going for IE8s

On Amazon (UK) the Image x10 are 166.99 pounds and 127.22 for the Image x5. Comparable prices on Amazon US ($189 for x10... almost as good as the 1/2 off sale they ran a few months ago). You don't have to buy direct you know. You could also do 30 seconds of shopping (online no less) before posting something pointless like this.

The Image X10 price has always been $349. If dealers choose to undersell that MSRP, that's not something we have a lot of control over, especially if they are not authorized resellers.

We are actually quite concerned about affordability these days, which is why we have launched the $79 Image S4, and soon the even more affordable Image S2.

x10 are worth the pennies you're spending on them.

P.S.
there is an ability to show the advantages of IEM like this

the dont have your phones measurements.

being klipsch i would have made a deal with apple -
give them equalizer settings for each phone model according to measuremests.
