I've had a pair of Klipsch X10i for many years (which i used with a Fiio X5 2nd Gen player utilising mainly FLAC and Apple Lossless files) and have always been happy with their sound quality and the comfort of their fit. However, as with many Klipsch owners i am now having the problem of their frailty and unreliability in that where the cable connects to the earpiece is now damaged.
I've had a look around on the internet and initially thought about getting the Shure 425's, then changed my mind and thought about the 535's (for their improved bass - though i understand bass is still not the predominant feature of the 535), and was then tempted by the newer 535 SE for their supposed improved high end.
So my mind was made up, and then i saw the Klipsch X20i.
Now i don't know what to do. The X20i looks as though it has addressed the issue of it breaking too easily, and reviews are generally positive in terms of it's sound quality. Do i stick with Klipsch or try the Shures ? Or maybe something else - Grado GR10 ???
Klipsch are more expensive (though finding a UK seller at the moment is proving difficult) so are they worth the extra expense ?
Anyone on the forum have experience of these in-ears, particularly someone who may have used both, who could give their opinion ?
Thanks
Steve
