The Klipsch Image S4 earbuds are angled to fit snugly in the ear, with oval, tapered eartips that block external sound.The earphones come in a sturdy metal case to store the earphones, eartips in three sizes (including a flanged size), and a handy cleaning tool to remove wax buildup. The eartips are all relatively small and offer a great fit. After just a short time I forgot I was wearing earphones!

While the earphones sound great right out of the box, for a richer sound experience, Klipsch recommends an initial burn-in period of approximately 50 hours. The sound is both distinct and clear. The wires feel just a bit fragile, but they've held up well, with extensive daily use, and the plug is sturdy. All in all, I love the Image S4 and recommend them without reservation.
