Product Description From the Manufacturer

Klipsch Image S3 Red In-Ear Headphones Let's face it. We all love our iPods, but not when our headphones fall out in the middle of a run. Forget uncomfortable and uncooperative headphones, because while you work out, The Klipsch Image S3 stays in place. These comfortable headphones will keep you in the zone with your music at all times — no interruptions. The affordable Klipsch Image S3 headphones offer a major boost in sound and comfort over similarly priced competitor models. These passive noise cancelling in-ear headphones deliver dynamic sound and unequaled comfort for a price that’s easy on the wallet. With four color options to choose from (Perfect Pink, Galaxy Green, Rebel Red or Graphite Gray) they look as good as they sound.

When it comes to comfortable listening, no one beats Klipsch Comfort The difference is the oval ear tip

It doesn’t matter how great a pair of headphones sound if they are painful to wear. Unlike traditional, circular-shaped ear tips which don't fit properly in your oval-shaped ear canal, the Image S3 headphone utilizes a patented oval ear tip design making them virtually impossible to feel and perfect for long-term wear. With Klipsch Image S3 headphones, your plane rides, commutes and workouts will be a private and enjoyable experience every time you plug in.

Sound In addition to unequaled comfort, these exclusive ear tips create a perfect acoustic seal to produce Klipsch's renowned, high-performance sound. The passive noise cancellation provided by the ear tip blocks out more noise than powered competitive noise cancelling headphones. Because we want you to be rocking out to your favorite tunes for a long, long time, the seal also allows you to enjoy your music at lower, safer volumes. The Image S3 comes with a variety of oval ear tip sizes, ensuring you find a fit that's right for you and your listening preferences. 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 S3 employs a customized 5.8mm moving-coil micro speaker with controlled damping in each piece, allowing the product to deliver smooth, full-bodied sound that’s similar to a more expensive balanced armature design.

Durability Klipsch has gone the extra distance to ensure the durability of each Image model. Subjected to extensive "real world" testing, Klipsch headphones feature enhanced cables and durable strain relief at every connection point to prevent wire damage. In fact, Klipsch Image headphone products endure some of the most rigorous testing in the industry. Service Covered by one of the best warranty programs in the industry, with a 2-year replacement policy on all headphone products as opposed to the 1-year offered by many competitors, you can rest assured that your Klipsch headphones will provide years of listening enjoyment.

Summary: Effective noise reduction. Good music reproduction.

My guesstimate is that half the ambient noise is blocked by these plugs. Better than I had expected and pretty good for plain 'ol plugs! It takes a few trials to get used to twisting them into place. Once inserted properly, you hardly feel them.

The music reproduction is at least ok. Probably better than ok but my hearing isn't the best so I can't review this like an audiophile. But it sounds good to me.

I noticed the claimed frequency response is 12hz to 18khz. 12hz! That's amazingly low. I tested it with the 1812 overture (cannons!). First with some decent headphones - Panasonic RP-HS27s. In the ear models but not plugs. I've had these for years and they're solid performers. The cannons from 1812 sounded like weak firecrackers. You could hear them but it was just another sound. Then I tried the Klipschs. Oooh! A little bit of BOOM-BOOM in my head! Nothing like listening to 1812 with a decent sub-woofer but a lot more than I expected from these tiny little plugs. (The non-cannon music sounded the same on both the Panasonics and the Klipschs). EXCELLENT bass reproduction.

Sensitivity is 1mw/106db so they can output a lot of sound on weak inputs.

The plugs come with a nifty carrying case and TWO sets of replacement ear tips.

It's claimed the cables are tangle resistant and durable. Yup to the anti-tangle. Can't vouch for the durability - haven't had these long enough.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)

The Klipsch Image S3 headphones are a solid pair of mid priced IEMs. They certainly sound better and are much more comfortable than the stock ear buds that came with my Zune, and they outpace my $20.00 dollar pair Koss headphones. If you're in the market to upgrade your stock ear buds to something more substantial, the S3s will definitely do the trick. However, models like the Shure SE115-K Sound Isolating Earphones with Dynamic Microspeaker II (Black), Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5vi Noise Isolating Earphones w/ Microphone, and even Klipsch's own Klipsch IMAGE S4 In-Ear Enhanced Bass Noise-Isolating Headphones offer a better overall headphone for about $25 more.

The S3s come with a headphone case, and a fit kit with three different sizes of plastic ear pieces. Unfortunately, they don't come with foam ear pieces, which to me give a better seal than their plastic counterparts. But, I was able to get a good seal with the larger version of the ear pieces, and they were quite comfortable. They also allow both sport fit (wrapping the cord around the ear), and traditional fit (the cords hanging down like regular ear buds). After ...
