Item Description:
Breaking all barriers, X20i sets a new standard in headphone acoustics, This is the headphone you've been waiting for! KG-2625 AcuPass Two-Way Driver, KG-926T Balanced Armature woofer, KG-125B Balanced Armature Super Tweeter, Stainless Steel Construction.

X20i is the most revealing in-ear headphone Klipsch has ever made. High frequencies are reproduced with unheard-of accuracy and bass is clear, full and warm. Breaking all barriers, X20i sets a new standard in headphone acoustics. Powered by a true two-way dual armature design, the high-horsepower KG-926T woofer is mated to a high-resolution KG-125B super tweeter. This results in a palpable sound character and makes X20i the broadest bandwidth in-ear headphone available from Klipsch.

Product Features:

  • INJECTION MOLDED STAINLESS STEEL HOUSING
    Surgical grade steel is used for the highest degree of precision and strength.
  • HIGH FREQUENCY SUPER TWEETER
    Combined to make a true two-way armature combination delivering response above and beyond 20kHz.
  • AUDIOPHILE BALANCED ARMATURE
    The smallest, highest performing single-driver in the Klipsch lineup.
  • INTRODUCING SUPER-SLIM
    Built upon our patented oval ear tips and pre-installed on X20i, we?ve invented the most comfortable ear tip yet.
  • INTERCHANGEABLE CABLES
    Complementing the groundbreaking design and acoustics of X20i is the ability to swap cables. Screw-type coaxial SSMCX connectors for both left and right sides allow for swapping cables or using custom balanced cables. Approximately 35 percent smaller than industry-standard MMCX connectors, X20i has all the advantages of interchangeable cables without any of the bulk.
  • ADVANCED THREE-BUTTON MIC AND REMOTE
    Have seamless control of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod while listening to music, watching movies and answering phone calls.
  • SUPER-SLIM EAR TIPS
    With the introduction of X20i comes the most comfortable ear tip we have ever designed. Pre-installed on the product, we have redesigned our most popular ear tip into a super slim form factor. After extensive research, our surveys lead to the conclusion that ear canals are even narrower than we had ever expected. The super slim ear tip addresses that by using an even narrower and more tapered design, enabling people who have never found in-ear monitors to be comfortable to wear them without fatigue. However, all ears are unique, so included with the product are five additional sizes to choose from.
  • ACCESSORIES
    Available in stainless black finish, each comes with genuine leather carrying case, tie bar, five different sized ear tips and one-year warranty.

6 years of ownership as of now. Lost the first set, bought another. Amazing sound with a slight warmth (like another review said). Triple driver IEMs. Stock "I" is still in perfect shape but then... After 5 years of searching I finally found someone who had female Screw-type coaxial SSMCX connectors (in the Netherlands) and they made a custom balanced headphone cable for my X20s. RARE! Paired with the balanced output on my Klipsch Headphone amp - unREAL! it really should be called the x21 with the balanced headphone cable. It sounds insane. Totally different set of IEMS. Perfectly flat and refined. less warm but in a good way - just clean flat powerful sound. So much shape and detail. these sit on my desk and never leave the house. it will stand the test of time as we pass it down through the generations. please make more wired hifi headphones and IEMs, Klipsch. Please.

A superb IEM

The design and development team at Klipsch need to be commended on the making of the Klipsch x20i. A phenomenal IEM which I love dearly. I have/own many other brands of IEMs from the likes of Sennheiser, Yamaha, DUNU, Vsonic, ibasso, etc.... but nothing beats the sonic output (subjective opinion of course) I get from the x20i's. I bought these as an upgrade to my x10i (which I still own and enjoy). I love everything from the amazing soundstage through to the flat frequency response of these IEM's, and it really is a pleasure listening to music the way it pretty much was recorded. Also, I find the unique Oval style tips of Klipsch to offer the best fit/isolation I have come across for any type of IEM. Expensive yes, but this truly is a Top Tier IEM that produces Top Tier sound that rivals more expensive competitor counterparts.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

An honest review - the good and the bad.

First the good: These things sound fantastic. The best in-ear phones I've ever heard bar none. I use these with my iPhone 7 of course, but also with my FiiO X5 High Def player with an add-on E12 Amp and WOW! OK, now the bad (and the reason I knocked off one star): I have had to have both of the earbuds/wires replaced (left and right). The outer sheath started to pull away where the wires go into the screw-on connectors, thus exposing the tiny inner wires. Fortunately, they were still under warranty, but I was a bit disappointed this happened so soon (I try to be very gentle with these things, but guess I'll have to take extra care from now on.) Also, I really wish the mic/volume control was placed in the center and not so high up. It is too big in my opinion (would rather have something smaller like on my iPhone earbuds) and its placement causes it to catch on my shirt or jacket collar all the time - very annoying (and may have contributed to the left side earbud wire sheath coming loose.) Otherwise, these sound great and are very comfortable with the right earbud covers (not as comfortable as my old X10's but decent.)

I use these with the Sony NW-A25 and it sounds fantastic! Very natural, clear, crisp sound! I was hesitant to get these because I'm a high schooler and I could barely afford them but it was definitely worth the price! I compared these to my Westone W10 and you can really hear the difference, especially in the highs which is obviously because of the super tweeter.

Have Tried Hard to Like These

I looked forward to enjoying these when I bought them three months ago. The flat sound, however, is a real drawback. Two months ago, I bought an equalizer to try to help, but it didn't really solve the problem. I find myself sometimes unconsciously yawning in a vain attempt to try to clear my ears while I'm listening with these, since the sound is so muted. Both of my older, much cheaper Klipsch in-ear phones are great and allow more enjoyment of the music than these do. I'm past the period where I can return them for a refund, but would do so if I could.

These things have unequaled range, with superb bass response and good high frequency response. Appear to be of robust construction, but extremely heavy for their size. I don't like the controller location and prefer it back at center like the x-11's these replaced. Don't understand the benefit of threaded connections to the ear pieces. Seems like a way to lose a bud if you're not paying attention

I bought 10+ pairs of headphones, earplugs, earbuds of any sort. Some for everyday use, inexpensive so that if I lose it, no loss. High-end ones, I met Klipsch several years ago, the first pair of Klipsch I bought was x10i. I was deeply impressed by its light weight. And I did not think twice when I saw X11i. Again impressed. The comfort wearing these two pairs is beyond words can explain. However, when I first saw X20i, I was not convinced because of its price. I bought it anyway. Simply, no regret. I am a music omnivore and I listen everything from rock to classics, from pop to jazz. Klipsch appears to be the only pair I need. X20i is now a precious item in my collection. I dare not take it outdoors to avoid losing it.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
