Reviews for Klipsch Image S4i Earphones with Microphone

I originally bought these because I wanted a good solution for hands free phone conversations (still haven't found one yet). While the mic on these earphones appears to be better than most, I still have complaints from people not being able to hear me clearly.

That said, the surprise on these was the sound. It's full, rich and extremely dynamic. If I'm not on a plane or in a loud environment, the sound quality on these earphones compares favorably with my Bose QC-15s. (caveat - I tend to favor a bright treble-heavy sound as opposed to a thick bass)

Finally, the wide range of ear-tip shapes means your sure to find a set that fits right.

had these for less than a year and my biggest complaint is the poor craftsmanship. cheap cable housing detached from the base of the 1/8th inch jacket and is now exposing wires that have effected the otherwise amazing sound. the ear molds constantly fall off the earbuds and the protective cabling around the earbud has torn apart as well.

i switched from Shure to Klipsch because of the sound quality, which is actually a little more warm and bottom heavy. the Shures seemed a bit less colorful in sound.

in conclusion, i'd pass on these since they just don't hold up in quality to Shures or Etymotics.
