- Reviewed by: Jasmine France
- Reviewed on: 10/28/2009
The good: The Klipsch Image S4i earphones offer exceptional sound quality for the money. They're also very comfortable and, the package includes a few handy extras such as a storage box and cleaning tool. Plus, there's a call answer button, mic, and iPod playback controls integrated into the cord.
The bad: The cable of the Image S4i earphones is pretty thin and tangle-prone, and the included eartips may not work for everyone.
The bottom line: The Klipsch Image S4i earphones offer up sound quality on par with and better than sets that cost many times as much, and they include compelling extras for iPhone and iPod users.

Best earphones for iPhone 3GS
by Iceblades on January 30, 2010
Pros: 1. Sound Quality - Excellent full range, here the deep thumping bass in Hip-Hop to the highs in symphonies.
2. Control Location - Centered and easy to use
3. Lightweight
4. Comftorable silicon earbuds with a natural oval shapeCons: None yet, so far they are my favorite earphone for the iphone.

Summary: These headphones do a great job of isolating outside noise. I have a pair of bose earbuds, and use them in the office when hearing ambient noise is important. I can use these on a flight without having to drag along bulky noise cancelling headphones. As one would expect these headphones do not leak ANY noise, when you have the volume cranked.
The volume on these headphones are also very impressive. I usually have to turn my bose in ear headphone up to 80-90% where these headphones are at 50% for the same experienced volume.
Having the controls on the main center cord (prior to the cord split to R and L earbuds) has several unique advantages: although the controls are light, they are centered on the headphones and it makes operation easier as well as feeling centered, also this allows the sliding cord manager to silide all the way up to the earbud cans (not having to stop a controller).
Voice call quality is suprising fantastic , suprising considering that the mic/controls are at upper chest height.
The button controls are very responsive and the raised buttons make them easy to find on the fly without looking.
If I had to pick between the bose (which I still love) and these, I'd pick these primarily because they include up and down volume controls (as opposed to bose's one buttong control). They are a very worth upgrade to the stock headphones and are MUCH MUCH more comftorable for wearing long duration.
I've only had these for a week, so I really can't comment on durability. They seem very well built and are very sharp looking. The seems substaintial enough to last, but only time will tell. -
Best headphones for iphones.
by linusco_com on December 27, 2009
Pros: controls work great
excellent at cutting out sound
great sound. Bassy (if you like that). Ear bud cleaner. Great price.Cons: cord is stiff so you get some knocking when it bangs against your ear. A little bassy.
Summary: I was looking at the S4's that have a great review when I saw these suckers for only $20 more. The mic is a fantastic addition to great headphones ...
Summary: I was looking at the S4's that have a great review when I saw these suckers for only $20 more. The mic is a fantastic addition to great headphones with excellent sound. Sharp twills and the bass is well rendered (almost feels like there's a separate woofer in the driver). Excellent rendering of every detail of music (expecially live music where you can really feel every nuance of the crowd).
The controls allow to fast forward, back track, volume, play, stop, answer calls and hang up the phone... all with one button! Volume up and volume down.
I have very small ear holes and these are the only buds that ever fit and held in place.
I work with embroidery machines by trade (www.linusco.com) in a small room so I needed to cut out the noise while I do graphics work int he same room and the buds needed to be comfortable for a long 10hr work day. Everything fits the bill. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and I would highly recommend these.
Other headphones I own:
Sony MDR-V500
Sony Headbuds

Great Headphones
by benjimen on December 21, 2009
Pros: Fit, comfort, sound, iPhone/iPod controls, microphone
Cons: Buttons & microphone location.
Summary: Great earphones, very nice being able to activate voice command features of my 3GS while it's in my pocket. Just wish the microphone and buttons were located similarly to ...
Summary: Great earphones, very nice being able to activate voice command features of my 3GS while it's in my pocket. Just wish the microphone and buttons were located similarly to the standard earphones that shipped with my iPhone. Would be better if the cord was made of the same material as the shipping earphones as well, less prone to tangling.

Crisp highs and booming bass!
by Smegz on October 30, 2009
Pros: Rich sound with crisp, clear highs and deep, booming bass. Convenient remote with mic make using these for calls a joy.
Cons: Either the buds are mismarked or they are supposed to be worn upside down in your ear with the wire wrapping back around your ear. With my large head, this is uncomfortable so I wear the buds backwards (left bud in right ear and vise versa.)
Summary: Sitting pretty in the sub-$100 spot I can highly recommend these to anyone looking for excellent sound for a reasonable price. After being a long time user of V-Moda ...
Summary: Sitting pretty in the sub-$100 spot I can highly recommend these to anyone looking for excellent sound for a reasonable price. After being a long time user of V-Moda phones, these were a joy; reproducing V-Moda's bass response without muddying the highs. The remote with microphone is very convenient and calls sound wonderful.

Lousy design and build negates excellent sound.
by Ichthys on July 21, 2010
Pros: As everyone note, great sound.
Cons: Design is flimsy, especially where cord meets jack. My cord separated from jack after only a few month's use. Like throwing $100 out the window. Too bad, because they have the sound down.
Summary: Use only if you sit very still in your living room and pay strict attention when inserting and removing jack. Do not stick in pocket; do not walk about with ...
Summary: Use only if you sit very still in your living room and pay strict attention when inserting and removing jack. Do not stick in pocket; do not walk about with it. Great sound is yours. Me, I'll look for another brand.

I am throwing this out after 2 weeks and paying $100

Pros: Ear plugs worked ok for me.

Summary: These earphones caused my iPOD to skip, pause and otherwise be unusable. I was listening to a book while working out when the skipping starting causing me to lose my place. It took about 3 workouts to determine that the audio book and my iPOD were fine, it was the earphones at fault. I've only had them for 1-2 weeks. I believe it is a flaw in the three button control on the wire.

decent midlevel headset, but not worth the money
by yankee428 on December 16, 2009
Pros: sounds slightly better than the Shure model of similar cost, nice carry case, sound quality is better than super cheap headsets
Cons: cheap, tangle-prone cord.
Summary: sound is ok (better than the super cheap headsets), but for $20 more, the bose set is much much better sounding.
