Klipsch Image X10 (Amazon)
Has anyone bought the Klipsch Image X10 from Amazon recently? They are still on sale for $90. I believe sound is subjective and it probably wouldn't help me to ask. Does anyone know how durable the X10s are for home use? Do they seem worth the money? My first and last expensive pairs of in...- davidsdiego

Recommendations for full-sized headphones for use with an iPhone?
All - I've enjoyed this site tremendously, and it led me to the purchase of my Westone ES5. I went with a custom IEM because I've been completely deaf in one ear since birth. I could get a single IEM with a custom-cable that combined both channels, so I saved quite a bit of money. As much as...- JulesK
