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 →Magnificent headphones can transform everyday listening sessions into mystical experiences ... Klipsch has produced some of our favorite speaker systems, but we would never have predicted that any manufacturer’s rookie earbud effort would bring us so close to sonic nirvana.
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.

These are my favorite earbuds to date and I've tried A TON. As I like a more bassy sound, these are ideal for me compared to $200 headphones I've tried. The only reason that I didn't replace my old pair with the same set is that I need more obvious headphones at work.

I find these earbuds to be mediocre at best. My biggest problem is the earbuds... they fall-off too easily.

Great sound, inlcuding deep bass (for ear buds) and iOS controls for your iDevice. These do pretty much everything I was looking for.

I could see how the ear tip selection that comes stock with these headphones would not satisfy a large portion of users as the selection is rather sparse. Additionally the cable is very thin and flimsy and has the tendency to tangle incredibly easily which is not at all fun. Other than that they...

The S4i are the best in ear buds I've ever used, no compromises on the sound quality, look great, super comfortable and block out most background noise. I can't recommend these highly enough.
