Conclusion: We like it
These lightweight in-ear headphones offer great sound, good noise-isolation, and a snug fit, all at under $100. They also include an inline remote/mic that will work with current iOS devices. If you don't need the mic/remote, consider the S4, which has similar sound quality, but no mic, and is available for about $30 less — or you can opt for the black version of the S4i, which is often marked down to a lower price than the more Apple-esque white model.

At just $20 more than Apple's In-Ear headset, the Klipsch Image S4i is a no-brainer, assuming Voice Control and VoiceOver are priorities to you. If they don't matter, or if you've got an older iPhone or non-Apple handset, the choice is less clear.

Read the full review →The quality of the mic for hands-free calls was variable. ... They're reasonably comfortable, though we found it tricky to get a good fit with the supplied tips, and the over-the-ear route the thin cable takes isn't to everyone's taste.

This is one of the best pair of in-ear headphones that I have own, and surprisingly very long lasting compared to other ones. And considering the price, $70 when I got it, the S4i that is, it is hard not to recommend these to someone looking for a good pair of in-ear headphones. The price was...

I picked up my Image S4i's at the airport because I needed something with decent isolation for the flight. The included triple-flange tips were great for this, though now I use the standard tips because they're more comfortable. The sound quality is great, definitely a step up from the ~$30 Sony...

An amazing set of headphones. They were even better than I had hoped based on Amazon reviews. You can't go wrong with these.

After misplacing my old, loyal S4's I decided to get the S4i, since I have an iPhone. Amazing decision given that the price on Amazon was less than $60. It has spectacular sound quality for earbuds, a wide selection of tips to ensure comfort and noise isolation, and stylish but not flashy. One...

Sound Quality - 4/5 These headphones have the best sound quality I've heard from headphones in their price range, and even some more expensive headphones. I would even go as far as to say that in their price range i would probably rate them 10/10, but since, as expected from headphones at...

For the money, the build quality isn't quite up to scratch for me. The sound quality is excellent, and definitely "purer" than the Koss iSpark earphones I'd used before. The downside is that compared to foam tips the seal is looser, resulting in weaker bass/noise isolation.
