Introduction

Editor's Choice

Klipsch's first entry into the headphone market gets a lot of help from the fact that it's marketed as "the world's smallest high-performance earphones." They are indeed impressively small and lightweight -- each earbud takes up less than two hundredths of a cubic inch not including eartip and cable, according to a company spokesman. But they sound better than most canalphones we've heard, with only a handful of exceptions, and comfort and noise isolation are both top-notch. The only real downside of these tiny buds is the price -- be prepared to pay more for less -- but we think they're one of the best single-driver earbuds out there.
