Quote: I think the X10i's are better than the XBA-3, I initially had the X10i, and thought of getting the XBA-3 due to feeling it would be a substantial upgrade over the X10i's, I was wrong it wasnt performing as much as good as the even 2 Driver Westone UM2. It has been more than 2...

The imbalance thing is on off thing you either hear it or you don't and can be dominant in some music you listen to. Its better off getting the 4r

lol thats cuz I had it, and obviously im just addressing my opinion, to me they were not as great as the W4's, maybe to you they are, and I understand that.

Not in comparison the W4. Case Closed lol

Quote: Hey   Well anyone could tell the difference if they listen to them side by side, for some it could be a majour issue of not having both the drivers on the W4 balanced perfectly, but unfortunately it exists, it will be more prominent to you as how much you use it, and how long...

Quote: I Believe you are wrong, and it does exist, the main reason to point it out is because my friend tested both, and he could clearly state that the w4 Had one stronger driver, while the w4r were nuetral all the way, which means both were accurate to the same level, while some may not...

Have you tried it

No they are the same cable, but its just removable. I think the drivers have been calibrated to perfection, so hence yes there is a difference between the W4Rs and the W4.

Actually it is very prominent, even for 3db if your listening at an average level, it should be very prominent, as I heard it myself. Once I heard with the W4R's I can say that it didn't have any driver difference.

Quote: Actually yes there is a difference in sound reproduction when it comes to both of the drivers. If you look at the video from 1:35 onwards you will understand that the W4R has been tested for a balanced sound reproduction, which means both of there earphones would be evenly Matched...

Hello Everyone   Today I am speaking of the Westone 4R and the Westone 4 and I would like to conclude that both of these earphones do have some difference, first and the main difference would be the Acoustic Symmetry, I had a friend of mine compare them from side to side and he had suggested...

hey   I have used the Klipsch X10i's and to tell you the truth, I prefer the sound signature of the X10i's rather than the Westone 4R, or the PFE232, and I have used the Westone 4R for roughly 6 months, people who love analytical sound would prefer the Westone 4R, I dont see a substantial...

So far I dont think your talking about microphonics? Most headphones suffer from them, and I think the Klipsch X7i suffers from them as well, but not to a certain level. They are exellent earphones with very balanced sound and not being over powering at all.  

Quote: Hey   Actually yes maybe that's cuz thats the older model so I think anyway it was always on clearing stock. haha. My one's were the X10i's and they perform great, except for one ear bud suffering from the strain relief splitting, maybe they would replace them if they were...

Ok, Spoke to the customer care they said they cannot replace them on grounds as the X10i's are performing perfectly alright, just a bit bothered that the strain reliefs had split a little bit on the left bud. It does work 100% tho :} just wondering whether it is alright if it splits up a bit....

oh okay, I thought the Strain releifs were meant to split the way they were designed.

Really I can replace my X10i's stating that they were being ripped at the strain reliefs? They perform fairly well tho.

Quote: how much were the Lou reed versions and is it the same thing as the X10i's? The only problem I am facing with my X10i's are that the strain reliefs are splitting a bit, would they replace mine on those grounds?

I thought the Klipsch X5 were discontinued?

boring.. no any new updates Alex? and No discounts for us, haha lol

Oh thats great!   So how much can you get the Klipsch X10i for? Triplefi's are alright as it has a very nuetral sound signature. As far as the klipsch X10i goes I love it when the bass kicks in as it very punchy as much as the Sennheiser IE80's. How much is the X10i in hcm?

Dont be silly, The Klipsch X10i, are one of the best in ears anyone could buy, the Triple fi is as exellent as as the X10i's, but are very analytical, Klipsch has more punchier bass and overall better with people who really want to enjoy music, I have triple fi, and the X10i, and I can still say...

umm I dont think the X10i suffers of this known problem.

Klipsch X10i is very comfirtable you will barely notice them even while you are asleep.

why are these not so popular? I mean the M40's were with sound cancelling and still people aren't talking about them as much.
