Just ordered these from Amazon and was wondering how they will compare to my Shure E530?
I justed want to try something different. So, whichever pairs sounds best, the other goes up for sale.
 
Any one want to comment on the x10i?
 
Thanks

Got the X10i today.
So far I have experimented with the different tips and got a very good seal.
Then listened to a few selected Christmas tunes with the iPod classic. All at 256 ACC. 
They sound great.
Next step is to try a direct comparison with the 530s.

Anyway, in a side to side test between Shure E530s and the Klipsch X10i:
 
Love the size and ease of getting a good seal with Klipsch.
Mic works great with the iphone4 and the interface is great. They also sound great! Good Bass.
 
However the E530s seem to me to have a fuller richer sound.
So probably I will put the Klipsch up on the auction block before long.
 
Not in anyway and objective test, just impressions and thoughts
Cheers

I just recently bought these as a alternative for TF10s which were leaving my ear canals feeling pretty beaten and I have nothing but love for them - although I haven't used the Shures, the x10i is easily an equivalent for the UEs, and the big selling point for me was the light presence they have to wear, which is obviously on the money. I've found the mic to be a bit weak at times (occasionally having to repeat myself) but overall they are reinvigorating my music. I tend to listen to a lot of digital/bass intensive stuff so I love the clear reproduction of low and high end, and I find the review feedback of underwhelming midrange reproduction to be a little overstated. I've only done about 20-30 hr in them so I expect they'll even warm up a little more still.

My brother loves Klipsch products and Hi-end Audio. I bought Him some Radius DDM's as a super cool gift and He never uses them because of comfort. What does he use instead? Klipsch S2's. So I figure your review confirms that the x10i's are my best bet for him. Comfy, and great sound! Look just like the S2's infact...

So should i go for shure or Klipsch..... suggest me the best earphones... If u wanted to buy one.... SE535 are way over my budget.... suggest in the range of KLIPSCH x10i.....

Well, 
I do still have the Klipsch x10i and they sound great. Super comfortable too. I would have no problem recommending them to anyone.
I am hesitant to sell them because they are just a perfect fit.
 
To me the Shure SE530 that  I have seem to have a slightly fuller sound. But if they are over your budget, then IMHO the x10i will not disappoint.

Update:
The more I listen to the x10i, the more I really like them. I know I pick either the E530 or the X10i and sell one, but I think I will probably keep both.
The X10i are really great for commuting, so small you hardly know they are there. And perfect with the iphone when a call come in...

Donlaw - I have the X10's almost two years and have been delighted with them, just before xmas I got custom earsleeves made for them and the sound quality has jumped again.
 
I will say though that they definitely benefit from amping, mine are running through an E7 and I'm really enjoying it.

Glad that you like them. I have found myself using them more and more lately.
Haven't tried using an amp yet. Have to do that soon.
They are really comfortable to wear!

Do they have the same bass bump that the Klipsch Image S4 has? I love the fit of those, but the bass can be overpowering in a quiet room. Perfect for in the car or subway though!
