Hi and willkommen 

Not saying they're any better than the Klipsch (I've not tried those) -- but I run Grado GR10's right now 

one slight - tinsy winsy, minor, insignificant little prob .......they are four *cough* hundred *cough* or so  Washingtons $400+ - or 4x Franklins
 ...or in real money.... three hundred and fifty four Her Majestys  £354

...just dont accidentally trap them when slamming your car door...

..."I did" ! 

I like these...

The first delivering at least 90% of the sound of the second at less than 10% of the price.

I own a set of Shure 435 IEM and find them very enjoyable. They also run close to the $400 range which was my limit since I only use them on an iPod anyway. The 10cent DAC found in the iPod can sound suprisingly half decent with good buds

Had the klipsch initially which were good but had prob with cord so they went back. Got the shure's and love them.

Klipsch have more bass and warner sound.

Shures had much more detail, clarity, and soundstage/imaging. Amazing iem's.

Its all a matter of what you are willing to pay...
