I got these speakers because I wanted to get some speakers that didn't have a sub so my neighbors don't complain but these still are loud enough for them to complain.. They sound amazing with certain types of music and not so great with others, they are also only made to sound good at lower volumes. I would recommend them to people who like classical music and jazz and people looking for good 2.0 speakers who don't / can't have a sub.

These are an amazing value for their price so I cant complain but the bass only sounds good at some frequencies, bass is too loud at low volume so keep the sub at the lowest volume for the best sound, other then that they are amazing!

I am on my 2nd pair of these, my first pair stopped working after 2 weeks of using them and I took very good care of them then the left ear went out and stopped working. These do however sound excellent for hip-hop I actually prefer to listen to hip-hop with them over my klipsch x10i's which are 350$ ear buds that are by far better with any other type of music.

These IEM's have a lot of bass and are very loud, I would say they were worth 100$ for me but there might be others who do not agree, I will come back and change the rating if this 2nd pair does go out..

I received a pair of these from klipsch for free because I had to replace my s4's 4 times because of the rubber strain relief splitting so I ended up getting these x10i's and am having the same strain relief issue, I emailed the guy from Klipsch to let him know what happened and he sent me a new pair and told me to mail him the pair that was messed up, he told me he would make me a label, so I got the new pair in the mail and emailed him to let him know to make the label and I haven't heard from him since then and I have emailed him 3 times.. They sound amazing but with hip-hop and other types of music like that at high volume the bass and mids get distorted with both pairs. Is this normal??

Hey thanks for the response, I am hoping that both of my x10i's aren't defective, with electronic music and most rock I can turn them up max volume and they sound perfect but with low frequencies it sounds like they bottom out and it sounds god awful until I turn it down then it sounds amazing.. I have the image s4's and s4i's and they didn't have this issue.. for a 350$ pair of headphones you think they would set it up so there is a limit to how loud you can turn it up so you don't have to experience this type of distortion which completely degraded the listening experience, I picked up a pair of monster i-beats which sound amazing for hip-hop and techno. I exchanged my s4i's for the ibeats because I figure the x10i's would replace the s4's well which they did except for the distortion. Do the image x5's have this issue?? Also have you heard of the strain relief splitting issue? I have the new version that was supposed to fix it and the rubber ends up getting rubbed off and splits no matter how good of care I take care of them it eventually happens..
Thanks for your feedback , I have been meaning to post these questions for a long time so I can really eager to hear some feedback.
Thanks

How is the bass response? is it booming or something less?

The bass response isn't boomy, it's perfect, there is easily enough bass but not too much. The Klipsch image s4's are more boomy these are just well balanced but they are not durable, mine are falling apart and I never abuse them, ever.
