I have more insight into this. Today I played 'Who Loves The Sun', from Loaded but The Velvet Underground. I cannot hear the main vocals. I can hear the chorus but the main vocal is almost entirely absent except in a kind of faint microscopic way. This also happens on the following song. The fact that this happens on both channels is strange - but it says to me that the error is not in the drivers.
And I repeat that the problem disappears if I change headphones.
These earphones are out of warranty, but I wonder whether there is a simple explanation - or even fix?

I am using Klipsch x7i. Apple iPod. I noticed in the last couple of weeks that some tracks on my iPod have developed a strange audio effect.
Symptom:
Indistinct, muddy, reduced frequency range with a reverb sound that makes them sound like poor live recordings. Some tracks start even with intermittent response.
I have now found new tracks with the sound effect, but many play normally
What I did to trouble-shoot
I replaced the tracks with new m4a files (not the same files, newly compressed versions).
I quit the player and rebooted the iPod.
I made sure all EQing was still turned off.
– the sound files sound the same as before
I listened to the files with another pair of over-the-ear headphones, they sounded clear and as normal.
I played some files on my iphone with the X7i's – they had the same audio problem.
All this suggests th eX7i's headphones are creating this effect. Could this be possible? Could it be a problem with the mic feeding back?Any ideas, please? thank-you.

Tips are the latex things that go on ear-bud style earphones. The 7i or the rather, the x7i is an in-ear earphone that uses latex tips to fit the ear canal opening.

Yes, they have many sizes. Including large and x-larger. They seem to come in packs of single sizes – hence my need to get the right one.
I'm not sure that Klipsch have phone-help-line in the UK. I thought that this was the place to get help with all things Klipsch. Are Klipsch staff not here?
EDIT. I wrote to the .com email support. See what happens there.

basically what do I need to buy to get the next size up to those included in the standard set?

I would like to know which size tips are included with my 7i's. This is so I can order a pack of the next size up. I'm trying the largest and need larger ones. The normal shape, not the double ones.
Thanks.

Edgar, thank-you for your reply. The plug is definitely seated correctly, but I think your ground wire insight sounds like a good lead. I will try and replace the plug. I hope the break is near it and maybe I can get some more life out of the earphones. Again, thank-you.
