Klipsch S4i (II), X4i, X7i, X11i

I'm curious to see what each are like, but I'm having trouble finding any comparisons. Anybody know how they compare?

Just a short summary:
S4i - uses a dynamic driver, has a much muddier bass compared to the others in the list. Clarity loses to the rest as well.
X4i - single BA, gives a warm and clear sound
X7i - single BA as well, more neutral sound, clarity wise much better than S4i/X4i. I would say the clearest amongst the lot. Instruments like electric guitar might sound a little scratchy though
X11i - single BA, most well rounded, will a little bass boost but not as muddy as S4i. Very light and comfortable to wear.

Alright thanks! Defenitely going the get the X4i or X7i. Leaning towards the X7i though.

If you were considering the X11i I would recommend the x10s b/c of same sound quality but much cheaper.
 
The price of the klipsch IEMs are a lot to ask for and would look elsewhere if that option is available.
 
The X7i look to be going for around $200, I would strongly recommend the $179 sale price of Westone 3's over these.

Not sure I'd be willing to pay much more than what I'm paying for the X7i/X4i. I have an enormous discount for Klipsch so they kick the crap out of other options for SQ, build quality, features, and aesthetics.

I see where you're coming from. Personally my choice with klipsch would be the X11i, these and the x10 are considered really comfortable and I would look at getting some Comply tips (T-100)

I'll be getting the comply tips no matter what I get.
