Image S4 Headphones: Pro-Grade Sound at a Reasonable Price Tune out the external environment and tune into your own private concert experience anytime, anywhere with the Image S4. These noise-isolating in-ear headphones deliver dynamic sound and unequaled comfort for a price that’s easy on the wallet. The enhanced bass and superior noise isolation ensure clean, professional sound, while the innovative eartip design and angled nozzles provide a comfortable fit for long-term wear. Strain-relief cord design makes the Image S4 as perfect for the gym as it is for the street.

Above and Beyond Expectations These reasonably priced, high-performance earphones go above and beyond what you’d expect from the stock earbuds that come with your MP3 player or music phone. In fact, you’ll find Klipsch headphones are far superior to other brands—delivering unequaled comfort, noise isolation, musical accuracy and bass. Furthermore, Klipsch has managed to take its decades of research and development experience to value engineer the Image S4, while staying true to its audiophile heritage.

Amazing Comfort and Fit

Made just for you, the Image S4’s exclusive soft and flexible oval ear tips naturally fit the contours of your ear canals, providing comfortable long-term wear as well as producing a perfect acoustic seal. A good seal minimizes outside noise, also known as noise isolation, and allows you to enjoy your music at lower, safer volumes.

These headphones come with three different sizes of washable ear tips: a small/medium dual flange design as well as medium and large single flange designs. So light and narrow, they are almost impossible to feel inside your ears.

Premium Sound

At the heart of every Klipsch product is over 60 years of audio expertise beating strong. Our commitment to no-compromise performance has made us the preferred choice of top cinema operators, a leader in stereo and home theater sound and now a premium name in headphones.

The Image S4 delivers strikingly realistic sound through the use of a single, moving coil driver per channel. These drivers cover a wide frequency range with dynamic detail. From heart-pounding bass to spine-tingling guitar riffs, you won’t miss a beat.

Added Frills

Available in a beautiful piano black and silver finish, the Image S4 makes quite a fashion statement. It carries a two-year manufacturer's warranty and works with the iPod, iPhone, or any other portable device that features a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. A compact, crush-resistant aluminum case is also included in the purchase.

What Critics Are Saying About Klipsch Image S4 Earphones Hands down, these are the most comfortable in-ear headphones I've ever used! They do have very nice bass response and mid-range as well. These are a huge improvement over any earbuds included with an iPod or other MP3 type player...they are a good value and I don't hesitate to recommend them." --Jay Siegel, examiner.com [April 28, 2009]

CNET recently released their top 5 choices for best earbuds under $100 and so I figured since I already had the V-Moda Vibes (in need of replacing... the 4th broken pair of em) I would buy two other pairs (Klipsch IMAGE S4 In-Ear Enhanced Bass Noise-Isolating Headphone,Ultimate Ears SuperFi 3 Studio Noise Isolating Earphones (Black))and compare the three. CNET had the S4's at the top and after two weeks of solid use I couldn't agree more. Klipsch's buds seem to trump the other two in every way. The S4's cord doesn't conduct sound from rubbing like the Vibes, and isn't perma-kinked like the Ultimate Ears. The S4's are as stylish as the Vibe's though seem to be almost as durable as the rugged Ultimate Ears buds. As far as the sound goes the S4's have slightly tighter bass than the bass heavy (which I like) Vibes and more crisp highs than the Ultimate Ears. So here's the break down in my opinion.

For starters I'm going to address several key observations that need to be considered when looking at the Klipsch IMAGE S4 earphones and then tackle my "listening experience".

First: These earphones, from my experience, are possibly one of the best values in electronics today. Not just IEM, not just headphones...all electronics. Does that mean they are THE BEST in ear monitors on the market? No. But they are very, very, very good overall and outstanding once price is factored in. Based just on sound quality, comfort and features, the S4 is a 4 star item...based on that and price it's more than a 5 star. I keep seeing reviews where people are saying these are overrated because they don't stack up against model x, y, z and when you check prices on x, y, z they are four and five times the price of these. Would you expect a $20,000 car to stack up against an $80,000 car? No. But if you found a $20,000 car that stacked up against a $50,000 or $60,000 car you'd be thrilled, right? That's the S4, which is easily the best in ear monitor for under $200. That said, there are a multitude of personal preferences when it comes to earphones and the S4 may or may not meet those preferences as I will discuss later.

Second: Do NOT send these back or be upset with the sound of the S4 if you have not done burn in. For those not familiar with what this is, it means playing music through the earphones at approximately 25% to 50% above your normal listening volume (not while you are listening to them of course) for anywhere from 50 to 80 hours BEFORE using them normally. With dynamic earphones like these it is even more important and the S4 in particular seems to require it; out of the box, my pair sounded tinny with no bass and I was pretty annoyed by that (as have been some others in reviews on this site). However, after doing just 50 hours of burn in, they sound...
