Klipsch Image Earphones

Introduction

Klipsch is one of the oldest speaker manufacturers around and now they have entered the earphone market as well with a brand new line of products ranging right from entry level earphones to high-end ones. Not long ago Klipsch released their first line of in-ears with the most extravagant design, called the "Image". Besides the Image earphones Klipsch has also released three more conventional in-ears dubbed Custom 1, 2, and 3.

Today I will be taking a closer look at Klipsch's top of the line Image in-ear. The Image earphones are aimed at people who want both a good looking and performing earphone. What sets the Image earphones apart from the rest of the competition is that they are smaller and weigh less than its rivals.

The Image earphones are both the world’s lightest and smallest in-ear design which is quite a feat. If they sound as good as they look they could turn out to be something quite amazing.

The Klipsch Image earphones are based on a brand new balanced armature designed and made by Klipsch. Some earphone companies rely on other companies to do the actual drivers, but Klipsch is different in that sense. They control every part of both the manufacturing and design of their earphones.
