Unfortunately slow review progression... Should have typed this up first and then posted.
<^> Introdution: <^>
- Purchased on-sale $175 at Klipsch.com.
- Delivered with 6 total layers of packaging (Why?).
- Come with
- A nice faux-leather hard-case, fits my 3G iPod nano very well.
- A second, portable magnetic hard-case (less than 1" thick).
- 10 oval - shaped silicone ear tips (very oval shaped).
- Cleaner, Stereo Adapter, Plane Adapter.
This review will focus mainly on:
- Detailed pictures and descriptions/captions.
- comfort
- physical features
- size
- durability
- build quality
Note: Klipsch confirmed they will accept a return that's an open-box up to 30 days. I expected this, but for some reason, the first returns dpt. employee I spoke to sounded confused and said no. Glad that's cleared up.

=-=-=-=-=-=First Impression / Notes:=-=-=-=-=-=
- Honestly, the first 5 minutes of listening I felt like crying, screaming, and jumping all at the same time. You think I'm kidding?
- I've been listening for 4 hours straight so far; ever since I un-boxed these.
- Extended use (4 hrs +) very comfortable. However, some itchiness and "hot-ears" present (possibly from the silicon).
- Large double-flange are the best fit; excellent. The oval-shape really helps put pressure on all sides of the ear canal; when I put my old IEM's back on, I can feel some minor stress on the left and right sides of my ear canal.
- The gel tips, do, unfortunately, cause your ear canal to itch-up at times.
- The main part of the IEM fits completely inside the ear; the black, flexible rubber end of the IEM bends downwards through that little anatomical ditch near everyone's earlobe. I can press both my hands at the side of my head at the same time and literally feel no pressure from the IEM's.
- Excellent presentation of sounds made by percussion instruments.
- Bass response is incredible. tight, very clean.
- Best music genre with these is by far techno. All instruments/beats/sounds are relatively evenly volumes, some frequencies sound accentuated. which isn't at all bad; sounds amazing.
- I honestly, during this 4 hour time period, forgot I was wearing these IEM's at times.
- Cable is of decent length, not too long or short for portable use.
- Cable is thin but seems very durable; feels more like hard - plastic than rubber, if you know what I mean. (Of course it is flexible ;P)
- Great sound-stage present!
- Bass is not over-powering.
- Warm sound signature.
