One ultra-thin cable descends from each earpiece of Klipsch Image X10i headphones. This is very flexible wire and Klipsch tries to make it durable by its proprietary method. As the wire is tangle-prone, so we have doubt on its long lasting durability. The Y-cable has a module with inbuilt volume controls, call answer button, and microphone. As already said, it works are playback control for both iPod and iPhone. You will find a clip beneath the module to affix the mic close to the mouth.

All the music portions including classical, jazz, pop, dance, and hip-hops were played back without any problem. We overall received a fantastic performance from the X10i headphones.

Klipsch X10i headphones provide the excellent audio quality, but target some customers that can afford luxury ear-buds with extensive price tags.
