Klipsch Releases Smallest and Lightest Full-Range Headphones...in Korea

"Klipsch claims to have introduced the smallest and lightest full-range in-ear headphones in Korea, dubbed the Image. What you get is a personalized fit with a precision-tuned acoustic experience without having a couple of large mushrooms sticking out from your ears, courtesy of its patent-pending Contour Ear Gels that were anatomically designed to accurately fit inside the human ear canal."
Personally, I think spending anything above $200 on headphones is bordering on lunacy, but if you really dig your tunes and want to hear them at their best, these $430 headphones from Klipsch might do the trick. I'm a bit dubious myself - although I'm a big fan of Klipsch and the sound quality of their speakers, bass response is usually a matter of physics. These itty-bitty headphones don't look like they'd be capable of generating much in the way of bass. I guess we'll wait and see...
