I bought these as well as AKG K324P PHONES. The Klipsch give a very clear and detailed sound through mids and highs,but even after trying larger ear gels,the bass is rounded at best,but lacks any real punch. I suppose it depends on your music tastes.I like deep house and electro,but if classic or voice is your candy,then these would suit you perfectly. They are up there with lower range Shure's and Etoymotics,but at the price,I think you could be happy with something less expensive.
