Ah, I see.  I didn't realize this was in the high-end forum.   And ohaooa, good luck.  I look forward to hearing your impressions.

Interesting.  For me, I love their sound.  What didn't work was their fit (large tips were too small).

I purchased a Total Bithead solely to bypass the noisy headphone jack on my laptop. I decided to get some decent headphones at the same time and bought the D2000's. I'm still using this setup for primary home use.

Thanks so much for posting your impressions. That was an enjoyable review to read.

Thanks for the comparison wow 416. Interesting observations from someone that has multiple sets to listen to back-to-back. How do you find them compared to the other headphones you mentioned? I just got the S4's and I'm burning them in now. I'll post some observations in the coming week.

Bump! Can anyone from Klipsch comment whether there will be some type of promotional offer this year? Or prod your bosses to make it happen? I missed this deal last year because I was out of the country and have wanted the X10's ever since. Full price is out of the budget but I'd happily...

I'm curious about how the S4 and X10 compare in detail and instrument separation. I expect the X10's to be better at multiple times the price, but, can someone quantify how much better? I'm upgrading from Shure e2c's and after getting a set of full sized cans I find them unlistenable, more...

Sure thing. I'll post my thoughts in there.

I was originally contemplating the x10's, but the price point on the S4 is compelling. I've read every thread I can find on both but no direct A/B comparison. My impression is that the sound signature and level of detail is comparable. Has anyone given both of these a demo?

Do PK3's with foam fit in a similar manner to the stock ipod buds? I hate foam covers and find the naked white buds a perfect fit for my usage.

I ride but not with music. Let me just chirp in here in support of hearing protection. Wind noise is huge at highways speeds. Not only can you not hear much else, but it will destroy your hearing. Couple that with exhaust noise, and well...as long as the music doesn't distract you you're not...

I'm thinking of getting some PK3's myself. How do they fit? I hate foam sleeves on ear buds. Ipod buds are a perfect fit for my use and I'm wondering if the PK's have a similar fit without sleeves.

From everything I've read the se530 has the sound signature I'm looking for. However, comfort is of the utmost importance. I currently have e2c's and when I purchased them I read that the tips aren't compatible with other Shure models. Specifically, the nozzle size is larger on the e2c's...

My ear canals aren't symmetrical either. I had custom ear molds done and the differences between them are notable.

I'll be curious to hear this as well. My ear canals are different shapes. I had some custom ear molds done for motorcycle riding and I was surprised be the difference.

Bose threads are like a car wreck; there's usually an atrocity but you keep staring anyway. I recently tried some Bose for the first time at the Apple store. It wasn't the sound signature that first struck me. It was the distortion. They had all of the ipod eq's set to bass boost. Travesty.

I suspect that the Senn's scale better with an amp, simply because they're more difficult to drive. But, I'm still curious...

I'm not always home during reasonable calling hours to depend solely upon a land line. Oh wait, I ditched the land line and save the money. Cell phones? Love them.

Great raptor34. Thanks a lot! I really don't need to spend more money. I have the total bithead and have been contemplating the micro stack. I already have the D2000's you mentioned. I decided that I would save my money for the time being, since I'm happy now and don't know any better. But...
