Can a Klipsch representative verify this? Would like to buy a pair for girl friend. Thanks.

I had my x10 for almost a year before the ends started to split. So there is actually a ver 2 now that addressed this issue? No more splitting problems with the ends? If so I would buy another pair since I like these so much.

These are the 2 headphones I am now considering too and still cant make up my mind. I really need to find a place where I can demo these...

Thats normal behavior on the 71A when it needs battery change.

This looks like one of those either love it or hate it designs, lets hope its sound is not like how it looks.

I voted R10, also would have voted for the L3000 if that was in the poll too.

The overall look is luxurious, more leather and elegant, but the shape of the cup is ugly imo.

I'm using the X10 for 3 months now and I don't have the splitting problem others are reporting. If you use them carefuly and not remove them from your ears by pulling the wire, then you should be good. This is a great deal, looks like I can finally pick up a X5 to try.

I have now narrowed down to 2 headphones that I would like to purchase soon (if I find a good deal), the edition 9 and the Denon D7000. I have not heard either because I did not find any place to audition them, but have read many reviews and understand there sound characteristics. There actually...

Oops, sorry you already did post pics in your other thread

Another nice read, thank you very much. Between the MD5000 DE and the Edition 9, which one did you find to have better bass quality and impact?

Very nice write up. Made the last hour at work less boring, I enjoyed it thanks.

I have 2 pairs of the Tysonic low discharge 9V's that I use for the 71A. Both pairs consistently get between 22 to 22.5 hours per charge on low gain.
