Ha, good choice. I hope they work out for you. The sound will loosen up dramatically after about 2 weeks of use. Initially they'll be a bit harsh. Also careful with the source material - 128kbps mp3 will sound a bit poo. 256 and above, i.e. most streaming services will be OK. Obvs, the higher the quality, the better. FLAC!
If the silicone tips don't work out, Comply foam tips are great, but an ongoing cost. Also, use the little box to transport them, I had a pair of X10i for 2 years no issues until i left them on plane :( Bought another set straight away.
Oh, and don't worry about the extra cash for the "i" model. According to most reviews the X10i is built better than the standard version.
BTW, they are excellent in-flight. They block out the noise beautifully.
