Overall, the X1's are pleasing to listen to. They will most certainly make a beautiful complement to your expensive new iPod Touch or iPhone, especially in their smart black livery. And they're pretty comfortable to wear too, though your mileage may vary here.

But their sound quality isn't quite balanced or good enough in the mid-range and top end to cut the audiophile mustard, despite the claims put forward by their marketing department. If your music collection consists of a wide range of styles Shure's SE210's at a similar price are still the better choice.
