Any one have opinion on Klipsch image x10 Review?
Been looking for sometime, and it seems this earphones cost about $1xx, which is really attractive in pricing and quality seems to be reasonable for my usage?

I have not tried this earphones yet, only have tried before s4i, and this model is suppose to be a model above s4i?

For $1xx it is probably a good price.
But i heard the build quality isn't really good, so unless u really take care of it. It's going to break.

And yes it is very worth the $1xx.
The sound goes really deep into the sub-bass range, and it is extremely comfortable and pretty good isolation.
It's one of the iems that sounds pretty full..

You can try the TDK BA200 or Westone UM1. =)

Westone UM1 is detailed sounding with tight bass and good isolation. The TDK BA200 is a lot more smooth sounding, laid back treble and great bass extensions. Mids is not lacking as well.

I'm currently using mm 30i, just wandering if there is any improvement if i upgrade to westone um1.

What are the main difference between this 2

It depends on you. i can describe the um1 as something for picking up the details of guitars, and the ba200 for more relaxed listening, where you ain't picking at the details that much. thats what i would say, best is that you head down to a store and try them both out to see which one you like most.

Minor details present themselves better as mentioned already and fit is definitely easier on the UM1. The TDK BA200 has a detachable section at the middle of the earphones too, since some people tend to damage the end of the jack.

Agree on that, best to head down and let your ears choose. ;)

Been using my Klipsch S4i for 3 years, time to upgrade/change to another brand.
I prefer earphones that bring out the power of the singer's voice, not so much for background music (sry if I describe it amateurishly)

You might want to try the TDK BA200, very smooth sound for most genres.

A good choice is also the Westone 1/Westone UM1 and they feel very comfortable in the ears.

You can consider the SE215LE and also the JVC FXT90. =)
You can feel a low bass frequency from both of them
