Hello, I have misplaced my Altec UHP606 Backbeat Pro's. I am looking at upgrading and was looking at the Klipsch S4, Custom 2, and the X5. Would all of these be an improvement over the UHP606's. I thought that the UHP606's sounded great but then again I don't really have anything to compare them against besides the OEM sansa clip buds. Would any of these or all of these be an improvement. I listen to classic rock, country and 80's and they will be played on a sansa clip. Thanks!!

Sorry, but I can only comment on the Image S4, which I am returning to Klipsch after 2 weeks. They are too exagerated for me -- nearly overwhelming in the bass, and sizzling in the highs. I keep coming back to my RE0 (still $99) and finding satisfaction with the accuracy, and finding ways to warm them up just the slight tad they need. Haven't tried any of A-L products.
