We let you in on one of Klipsch (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/25/klipsch-headquarters-walkthrough-behind-the-scenes-and-between/)'s little secrets when we revealed the Image X10i to the world (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/20/exclusive-klipsch-introduces-iphone-friendly-image-x10i-and-bla/) back in December, and now that the company's highest-end iPhone-friendly earbuds will be shipping en masse within a month, we figured we'd grab a set and let you know if they were indeed worth their weight in gold (or just $349.99, really). The X10 has sat atop the company's most recent lineup of earbuds for awhile now, and with the raging success of the S4i (http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/klipsch-image-s4i-hands-on-and-impressions/) came a stellar idea: add the same iPod / iPhone remote to the flagship set of 'buds. The X10i is just that -- a set of X10 earbuds with the iPhone remote that we highlighted in our S4i review (http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/klipsch-image-s4i-hands-on-and-impressions/). Needless to say, the X10i isn't aimed at the budget-minded listener, but we were most curious to see if these really were worth the $250 leap from the aforementioned S4i. Read on to peek our conclusion.
