B&W C5 vs Klipsch X10i earphones

[beanbag]

After my Shure SE210's fell apart and their refusal to fix them just after 2 months after the warranty expired, I'm after a new set of ear-buds from another manufacturer.

I enjoy music so I've given myself a budget of £150 and the two that seem to come up often are the Klipsch X10i and the not quite yet released B&W C5's.

Both have an iPhone compatible mic and remote so that's perfect so it's all down to sound quality and comfort.

It's fair to say my Shure's were spot on in my ears. Very comfortable and I could spend all day with them in my ears. I've heard stonking reviews with the Klipsch X10i's but I'm also hearing good things about the B&W's so I'll have to wait.

Does anyone on PH have the X10i's and how comfortable are they?

As the B&W's appear on the market we can start talking about them too.....

Haven't heard either, but the X10 is generally seen as one of the most comfortable earphones around.

Can't comment on B&W earbuds, but if they're anything like their speakers, there's probably equally good equipment out there with a different brand name for less money.
