What Hi-Fi? Verdict

These Klipschs are good all-rounders, with an exciting edge

Pros

  • +

    Exciting sound quality

  • +

    detailing

  • +

    great dynamics

Cons

  • -

    Can be a touch aggressive

  • -

    lack body

Klipsch (opens in new tab) is one of the few manufacturers to offer earphones with a three-button remote system for the iPhone 3GS.

One button acts like the one-button controls of other headphones, buttons above and below control volume, but only when connected to a 3GS.

Sound quality is exciting, with lots of detail and top-end sparkle, decent dynamics and all-round attack.

Next to comparable models they sound a little aggressive, though, and there's an overall lack of body.
