Klipsch Image One review

Beautifully finished and pretty much nicely balanced, the Klipsch Image Ones are hampered by an overwhelming amount of bass

Lavishly finished ; generally composed and balanced sound

Except in the bass, which threatens to capsize the whole thing

If you love your bass, these are perfect. If not, a long audition is in order

Klipsch Image One review

Klipsch markets the Image One as an on-ear (supra-aural) headphone, even though the earpads may be big enough to fit around smaller ears. Unlike over-ear (circum-aural) headphones, which have earpieces and earpads designed to completely surround the...

The Image One is a well-built and well-appointed headphone that will please the listener who likes music served loud with lots of bass. Buyers looking for accuracy and a balanced sound should look elsewhere.

Klipsch Image ONE Headphones

The affordable Klipsch Image ONE headphones successfully combine strong audio performance with comfort for long listening sessions.

Powerful audio performance. Doesn’t distort on deep bass tracks, even at maximum volume. Comfortable fit. Built-in iPhone/iPod/iPad controls.

Audio can leak out at higher volumes—people near you may hear your music. Weak call quality.

Klipsch Image One review: Klipsch Image One

Klipsch Image One

Lightweight on-ear design; earcups fold flat for easy storage; good isolation from external noise; works great with iPods; two-year warranty.

Potential for discomfort after extended use.

The Image One's bass outmuscles the competition and tight earcup seals hush external noise. With a closed-back design, a solid two-year warranty, and more lifelike sound details at half the price of competitive models, the affordable Klipsch Image One...

Klipsch Image One

These over-the-ear headphones from Klipsch, maker of some of the world's best-loved audio gear, follow the new trend of incorporating an iOS-compatible remote with mic on the cable.

Sweet mid-range and treble; good call quality

Too much bass

The Klipsch Image Ones are a nice set of headphones with the added bonus of an in-line remote control and mic. However, they’re let down by an overwhelming amount of bass which might even be too much for those who like their audio on the doof-doof side.

Klipsch Image ONE On-Ear Stereo Headphones Reviewed

The Klipsch Image ONE headphones is an over the ear design. While the Klipsch performs admirably, there are several drawbacks that may keep it from being the headphones you walk away with.

At $149.99 the Image ONE from Klipsch has a lot going for it though it's far from perfect. If you're one to listen to well-recorded, perhaps self-ripped, digital music at moderate levels, then the Image ONE is going to be ideal for you. However if you...

Klipsch Image One On-Ear Headphone (Playback 46)

Klipsch's elegant-looking Image One ($149.99) is the firm's first-ever on-ear headphone/headset, whereas all of Klipsch's other Image-series headphones are in-ear models. Why would Klipsch strike out in a new direction when it is already on a roll with...

Klipsch IMAGE ONE

Sound quality unbelievable, totally makes the product worth its value.

When played on a high volume, sound escapes both in and out a bit more then would be comfortable. The cable is not compatible directly into my Blackberry, but using an extension cable it works. Bit annoying but at least it works.
