The new Klipsch Image X5 headphones have been officially announced. We got a sneak peek at them back at HeadFi CanJam 2008.
The new X5 is slightly larger than the Klipsch Image X10 headphones by 2mm and according to Klipsch this allows them to save in production costs, making the X5 about $100 less expensive than the X10.
Klipsch Image X5 Features:
- Patent-pending Contour Ear Gels (five sizes included)
- Balanced full-range armature driver with a tuned bass-reflex system
- Superior top end with more forward voicing
- Electroplated aluminum housings
- Streamlined, aerodynamic-shaped flexible tails to reduce cable stress
- Compatible with the iPod, iPhone and virtually any device with a standard headphone jack
- Airplane adapter and ear gel cleaning tool included
The Image X5’s will have an MSRP of $249.99 and be available later this month from select retailers. [Klipsch]
