I'm wondering why they're still selling for this price.

I bought a set but I was planning on making my money back. I might end up not opening them and trying to sell to a foreigner.

Not really sure. 
 
I ordered a pair but decided to cancel the order when I saw the price didn't drop for 2 days straight. 
 
My guess would be because they are officially discontinued by Klipsch.

I could careless how many they have all I know is I'm glad they do for so cheap and that's why I bought a pair.

Yeah, if it's a coin flip in your head, take the plunge. They are pretty much unbeatable for under $100. Build quality and microphonics are subpar but not so bad as to be deal-breakers, unless you wear a rain coat every day.

I'm really liking the pair I got. They're similar to the UE700s, but with a less harsh high frequency range. Microphonics are worse than the UE700.

 

[Gilly87]

UE700s have bass like that? o.O

 

[IpodHappy]

Klipsch x10has more bass than the UE700s, but to my ear, the major differentiator is the HF. I've only had the X10s a short while and am still doing critical listening. I like their ambience a lot.

Yeah they have a really unique sound. Very lush, textured bass; I prefer it even to my DT770's bass sometimes. In fact I think I prefer it to everything but SM3 bass.

I totally agree with you on that, the X10's bass is very nice and I love the texture and speed of them.  I didn't think that the bass warmed up the mids when I first started to listen to them but know I can hear it with some track the bass warming up the lower mids and it sound quite good.
