It is true that one should never judge a book by its cover, or for that matter, headphones by their size, as the Klipsch Image X10i are likely to be among the smaller and better sounding in-ear headphones that you see.

With the new addition of the in-line remote control and talk functionality of the ‘i’ model, Klipsch has once again outdone themselves with a set of tiny in-ear headphones that according to many experts blow pretty much all competition out of the market. The Klipsch Image X10i have received top rating and headphones of the year 2010 from What HiFi as well as making it all the way to the top of Stuff.tv best buy list (model on their list is the X10 without the in-line control functionality).
The Klipsch Image X10i are amongst the smallest and lightest headphones in the world. Built to provide and excellent listening experience and comfort they fit deep into your earcanals, blocking out most external sounds, allowing you to enjoy the music and purely the music. The patented oval eartips are built to naturally fit in your ears and provide a high level of noise cancellation.
With the Klipsch Image X10i scoring highly for both comfort, size and noise cancellation, they only place left where they can fail is in the sound, but according to the experts that is perhaps the area where they shine the most. They are described as expressive and organized, with a slight bass skew and crisp trebles amongst other superlatives.
