These in-ear headphones are my favorite by far for airplane travel... comfortable for long flights (don't laugh at the "oval earpieces", they really are better than most), great sound (more detailed and spatial than my Bose QC 35s). The Klipsch top of the line in-ears have had variations of this design for a few years now; I discovered them by accident, but now every time I see a deal, I snap up another pair... the first few pairs haven't gone bad, but just in case... ;)

modbobFunny response. I am in for two myself. I could not wear IEM without comfort foam until I stumbled across the oval earpieces for Klipsch. They fit like a dream. I have one ear that is damaged physically also and always have to use a smaller earpiece but not so with these, they just fit and stay in. Use them for hours and hours every day, have given them as gifts to the kids as well. Either way these are wonderful and the new versions (X12i with some modest aesthetic modifications ) retail at $350 so $68 is a steal. Funny thing is I notice Klipsh products tend to appear in "Tech" and not in "Audiophile" although the specs are far superior to most of the IEM's offered in what is supposed to be for high end audio enthusiasts, some anti Klipsch folk here?
JimSwazKlipsch can be polarizing in their appeal, and the IEM's never really caught the enthusiast communities attention due to stiff competition at their release prices. I'm much more familiar with their speakers lines and I know people who enjoy them (as well as the IEM's) immensely, I'm just not one of them.

ElectronicVicesWe can be a finicky bunch, thats for sure! I know people who think JBL is the only speaker to own, I own them, and Klipsch, and a half dozen other brands because I enjoy something specific about each individual set. Full Disclosure, I own set of Klipsch Belle that stay in my den, this does taint me and make me partial to Klipsch...... Still, Specs are specs and these things are more deserving than "Tech". Same concept would apply it they were generic and had these specs and I had heard and verified them. I wrote a note a while back about the wireless version with the APX Bluetooth feature that almost nothing else in Audiophile offers but all the Audiophile bluetooth players use it..... One last note and thanks for reading this far down before I finish, the older I get and the less I her the highs I once heard the more I appreciate headphone manufactures with a good CLEAN low frequency which these give in spades. Not a boomy or extra bass for the sake of people like bass but the ability to reproduce bass clean in an IEM. These do a real nice job. Doggone it I am going to work for Klipsch.

modbobThe oval ear tips are the most comfortable bud tips I've ever had. I've moved on to complete wireless, so I don't use these as much anymore, but they are so comfy.
