Multi-IEM Review - 281 IEMs compared (VSonic GR07 BE and R02 Silver Added 05/15/13 p.688) - Page 621

New here.

 

Is there a queue in which IEMs are reviewed? I would really love if someone can review the Klipsch Image X7 / X7i. I bought a pair for $99 (retails $150+ normally?) here in Canada. It was the lowest price anywhere I could find.

 

They sound great but I would love to see where they stand compared to other IEMs. 

 

Here's the product link: http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/klipsch-klipsch-image-x7i-in-ear-headphones-black-imagex7ib/10218496.aspx?path=2fa5cb823051c1bc0289be5f378ec163en02

Hi Joker, have you reviewed the RE-400 yet?  Went to Head direct to buy a RE-272 and found they have stopped production.  They refered me to the Re-400.  It is available at $99, half the price of the discounted RE-272 still available at Amazon!

My personal queue is on the front page of this thread, below the table. I need to update it, actually.

 

I have no plans to try the X7 at this time.

Yes I've heard the same from someone who tried to buy an RE262. Unfortunately I haven't heard any of the new HiFiMan releases yet.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this!

 

Do you have plans for the Sennheiser IE 800 and IE 80, FitEar ToGo! 111 and universals from Heir Audio? Oh, and what about customs from JH Audio, Ultimate Ears, Westone, and Heir Audio?

 

Sorry if I'm asking too much (^^). I greatly appreciate your work!

I believe this has been asked before. The PFE 232 has similar resolution and detail but the K3003 is perhaps a little more transparent in the midrange. The K3003 also has better soundstage depth and layering and is more airy and open-sounding. It also has more even treble with slightly better extension and is slightly less prone to harshness/sibilance.

So basically not that much difference? and definitely not much difference from a portable device like ipod?

Although my tracks are mostly 320 kbps aac and some 320 kbps mp3

I didn't say that. I think the difference is very noticeable, just maybe not worth $700 for the average listener.

Hello ljokerl,

 

Do you know any IEM with a sound signature similar to the TF10, but cleaner, clearer, more detailed, better imaging, better soundstage, and less veiled? Thanks!

FX700. I'd have to A/B to say for certain if the mids are more forward though.

If by similar you mean somewhat v-shaped, the FX700 is a good choice. The PFE232 is another option.

The Xcited is a very laid-back/distant earphone. The SHE3580 is not - it's pretty average in that regard. It also has quite a bit more bass for a warmer tone. So, no similarities to the Xcited.
