Klipsch Image S4i - II White In-Ear Headphones

For in ear headphones, these are great. It's going to be hard to beat the quality of my nice over the ear, also much more expensive headphones, but that is to be expected. As far as in ear headphones go, these are the best I have ever heard. I was immediately impressed by the quality when I first used them. I'm no audiophile, but I still love and appreciate good sounding music. The playback sounds great to me, highs are good, lows are great for such a small package. If you need great sound with a more portable size, this is your best bet. And at this price. You really can't beat it.Con:The only downside to these headphones for me is that they are really not good for use during exercise. They are too heavy and the cord makes too much noise when you are that active. I mostly use these for when I am on campus and need some good headphones to use with my laptop or phone.

I always buy Klipsch even though they don't last long. I buy them because they're the only earbuds that I've found that fit comfortably in my ear. The sound quality is great, but they just break so easily. This pair didn't break but it is susceptible to static shocks in the ear. Whenever I wear fuzzy clothing with the earbuds in, or open a trash bag, it shocks my ear and it's a little painful. Also, it makes a electronic glitchy sound every 15 minutes or so, which is problematic especially when I'm trying to fall asleep. After going through about 5 Klipsch buds, I've had enough.

I bought this product because (1) the headphones that come with the iPhone hurt my ears when I wore them for more than a half hour at a time and I wanted a softer earpiece and (2) I was tired of buying a series of $20 headphones, only to have one ear blow out.My in-laws graciously offered to buy me "nice" headphones for the holidays, and I selected these. At first, I loved them. They were comfortable, had much better sound than I was used to (with a bit of the bass problems other people have mentioned, but I really didn't mind), I loved the sturdy control piece and adored having the carrying case to put them in between uses. Until last night, I would have given them 4.5 stars.Then. Last night I was at CVS buying laundry detergent AND IT HAPPENED. Very abrubtly, the right headphone blew out, never to return. I have had these headphones for less than two months, keep them safely packed away in the carrying case they come with, am not rough on them... and yet, they lasted for a shorter period of time than the cheap headphones I am accustomed to buying. I can buy three or four pairs of the cheap ones for the price of these-- and that will last me much longer.Very disappointed. This very good product is really worth nothing when one headphone quits on you so quickly.

These were my first starter headphones aside from the free headphones we used to get back in the day when we purchased a new phone. This product made me take up a liking to the Klipsch brand entirely. Although I don't use their in-ear headphones nowadays. I still utilize Klipsch for their surround sound speakers.I purchased these headphones in 2014 and used them for about 2 years before moving on to other products. If you need a pair of headphones to be able to plug into a jack for whatever reason I highly recommend this product. It sounds great, fits well in your ear given the variety of sizes they provide, and you could bend the wire a whole bunch without worrying that it'd break.

I don't normally do reviews, but I had to for this one. I bought one pair and had numerous problems within 3 months. Firstly I noticed that the left earbud would distort randomly as not so high volume right from the beginning. Secondly, about 2 months in, the volume control/mic stopped working. Finally, both earbuds had some issue that caused the audio to sound like it was in a very large distant room (audio was terrible).Amazon replaced it with no questions asked and I was very happy with their service.Unfortunately, the second pair I noticed also has a weird distortion problem with the left earbud. I am an IT engineer and know how to troubleshoot issues; I thoroughly troubleshot these headphones and confirmed it was my my equipment or my audio sources. These headphones are simply worth sub 100 dollars. You get what you pay for. Bass is overwhelming and the audio is decent but not worth a dollar more than the price tag.I gave one star because they are extremely comfortable. It is too bad that it is a sub par product even for the money.I will never buy from this company; instead, I will rely on other trusted brands (had my sennheiser hd25s for 7 years and they still sound great) and spend the extra 50-100 bucks.

I can't believe many of the reviews that are critical of the durability of these headphones. I use them on the tractor, in the garden, on the lawn mower, and even with the weed eater. I would say I'm very hard on them and they stand up. My day job is in a data center with many high speed fans and switches, when I'm using these headphones I can hear the other end and more importantly, they can hear me. I often ask if the noise is too loud, and they ask, "what noise?"Great sound, great mic, great price. What's not to like.Only con is the white gets dirty. My soil here is red clay and the cord shows some of that dirt that won't wash off, almost like it stained the cable. However, that's a minor issue for me as I could almost care less about the look and style, I want the sound, reliability, and durability.Recommended!

In Summe hatte ich 3 oder 4 Paar der Klipsch Image S4i und ständig gingen sie nach einer Weile kaputt, in dem ein Kopfhörer nicht mehr funktionierte.Wenn man mal raus hat, welche Ohradapter benutzt werden müssen und wie der Stöpsel im Ohr platziert werden muss, ist der Sound grandios! Leider währte die Freude stets nur kurz (~6 Monate).Nach dem 4. Paar war ich es aber leid, sie ständig auszutauschen. Daher nur ein Stern von mir.

Prodotto ottimo, comodo, audio ben bilanciato nei toni e di ottima qualità anche paragonato a prodotti di livello e costo ben superiore, spicca la riproduzione dei medi con particolare riferimento alla voce, bassi presenti ma mai invadenti ed eccessivi, fate attenzione alla scelta del "gommino" il corretto inserimento nell'orecchio è fondamentale per apprezzare la qualità sonora del prodotto!!!! Consigliatissime!!!!!!

Before owning these I had a pair of S4i earphones so I knew the sound quality would be great, and it is. My old ones also lasted for over over 3 years so I was happy to buy the upgraded Klipsch pair when the left earbud broke. These earphones are just as good as far as sound quality and comfort goes and the cable is great as it doesn't tangle like the older round cable. The jack is also designed better than the S4i so it has a bit of flexibility and is less likely to break where the cable joins it and the 3 button remote works great too (although I haven't used the mic). The flat cable is heavier than the old one though and more sensitive to noise transfer when it rubs against things like clothes however this is not a great issue for me as it is hardly detectable when playing music. Overall I would highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a cheapish pair (less than £70) of good quality earphones.

I heard these head phones on a noisy flight from Hyderabad to Athens. My friend recommended when I was contemplating to by noise cancellation head phones. They snugly fitted in to the ears. Cut off external noise ( best is u cant even hear u r wife shouting at you !! boon for married men!!) Now to get these from US is big deal. I being in India. So Amzon was the idea. Worth a buy!!

D'abord, mettons nous dans le contexte...Il y a 15 jours environ, j'ai décidé de remplacer mes écouteurs fournis avec mon Samsung Galaxy SII, écouteurs que j'utilise sur mon iPod. Je me suis dit qu'une paire d'intra-auriculaires à 100,00€ devrait largement améliorer mon expérience discophile. Seulement voilà ; grosse... très grosse erreur de ma part !Je me suis laissé berner par des messages marketing tape-à-l'oeil et j'ai décidé d'acheter des iBeats by Dre... Un extérieur au final trop bling-bling, des écouteurs lourds, des embouts inconfortables et peu isolant, une commande génante, et surtout un son plus que médiocre. C'est simple, mes écouteurs standards de Galaxy SII mettent littéralement une claque aux iBeats en terme de son et de confort !Je décide donc de retourner les iBeats au magasin le jour-même contre remboursement (il a fallu batailler pour l'avoir), et je décide de lire un max de reviews sur le web avant de racheter quoi que ce soit. Après 10 jours, ma décision est prise : j'achète les Klipsch S4i II chez Amazon pour profiter de la politique de retour facile.Après 4 jours, je reçois ma commande à l'étranger. Visuellement d'abord, les écouteurs Klipsch S4i II sont très beaux et le design soigné peut convenir à quiconque selon moi. Les câbles plats et les connexions sont d'excellente facture et la commande de taille idéale. Le tout est fourni avec une mini-sacoche de poche bien utile, et des embouts de tailles différentes qui selon moi peuvent être trop petits pour certaines personnes. De mon côté, j'ai dû prendre la plus grosse taille alors qu'habituellement j'utilise la taille moyenne.Les écouteurs en eux-mêmes sont assez légers et facile à insérer dans l'oreille. Leur taille assez petite fait qu'ils sont plutôt discret. Etant donné qu'ils sont en plastique, j'ai tout de même quelques doutes quand à la durée de vie du chrome et des écritures.Au niveau de l'écoute, je n'ai pas encore eu le temps de les rôder vu que je les ai reçu il y a une heure. Cependant, les premiers essais sont excellents ! Je dirai : un son limpide et panoramique ! Les basses ont pas mal de patate mais ça n'empêche pas d'avoir des aiguës clairs. Ici les basses sont plutôt sèches / percutantes et les aiguës sont précis et réalistes (non-agressifs). Les médiums sont un peu en retrait mais il n'y a pas de souci par rapport aux basses et aiguës, mais on les entends parfaitement et on sent que c'est un résultat final bien dynamique.Attention cependant aux personnes qui n'aiment pas les basses: ces écouteurs ne sont pas pour vous ! Je suis un fan de basses et ça me convient bien mais je pense qu'une personne orientée aiguës / médiums risque d'être très déçue...Pour ceux qui aiment les basses, ici il s'agit de basses assez sèches, percutantes. Il ne s'agit pas de basses grasses qui saturent et qui couvrent tout le spectre. Elles sont puissantes mais elles ne dégoulinent pas sur le reste. Normalement les amateurs de basses aiment les basses sèches et percutantes, donc c'est du bon pour les Klipsch S4i II.Donc voilà. Je suis sûr qu'il y a mieux ailleurs mais pour 100,00€ je n'en suis pas certains.Pour récapituler, objectivement:+++ Points forts +++Le designLes câbles plâts / jointuresLa sacocheLe son percutant et dynamiqueLes basses sèches et percutantes pour ceux qui aiment les basses-- Points faibles --Les embouts, tous petitsLa finition plastique des écouteurs eux-même peut-être fragile (à vérifier)Peut rendre trop de graves / basses pour ceux qui n'aiment pas les bassesCONCLUSION: vous avez 100,00€ à mettre dans des intra-auricualires avec commande et qui ont de la patate niveau basse, ruez-vous sur les Klipsch S4i II !!!MISE A JOUR: passage de 5 à 1 étoiles car le câble s'est rompu au niveau du jack après 1 an. J'ai racheté la même paire et rebelote - casse au niveau du jack au bout de 6 mois...
