The best iPhone earphones I have ever used, by far,
Annoyingly, I am a serial iPhone headset loser. Combined with a desire to use high quality units, this is not a cheap or sensible trait.
Over the past 3 years I have tried (and lost) the Apple High Quality 2 Driver Headset, 2 pairs of VModa Vibes, and assorted cheaper headphones.
This pair is in a different league. The sound quality is absolutely outstanding. Crisp, clear, sharp, well defined. I have found myself listening to mp3s that I’ve listened to many times before with a completely new dimension. I am blown away, and won’t lose these ones… they are too good!
In addition, they have the correct 3 switch Apple interface, so changing songs and volume is easy. Not cheap, but at the pricerange I’d be surprised if they can be beaten.

Not worth it,
Normally I spend around £35 on some Sennheiser headphones. I have a pretty keen ear so I can easily tell the difference between these.
First the sound quality. The sound quality is excellent. It is breathy at the top, a little weak at the bottom but otherwise very level. No real colouration. It is definitely sharper than previous headphones I have owned. This can be good and bad. The better response means that your ears tire faster, and poorly mixed records are noisy, where those recording & mixing mistakes would have previously been hidden by inferior headphones. As headphones, they are very good. I would recommend them for listening to classical, piano and jazz. I would not recommend them for listening to rock or metal – they don’t have the low end to make the music sound powerful.
BUT! The build quality is terrible. Absolutely rubbish. The wires are thin and fragile, the remote is a tacky plastic; it has the feel some cheap chinese knock-off. Unfortunately, I can tell they won’t last me more than 12 months before they are knackered. Worse still, the earbuds are symmetric (as opposed to the asymmetric ones you hang around your neck), so you can’t be quite sure what to do with them when you’re not listening to them. They come with a useless clip which fell off the first time I went out.
So sadly, for the money, this is a 100% don’t buy. Four stars for sound quality, 1 star for poor construction.

Too flimsy-fastest breaking headphones I’ve ever had!,
I can’t argue with the sound quality but realistically not hugely better than others I’ve had for half the price.
The main negaitve is how long they’ve lasted-the insulation where the cable joins the jack has broken after only 4 months.
For the price premium I expect this weak spot to be more sturdy than this. I can’t recommend these at all.

Excellent Quality,
I’m a serial headphone purchaser: I’ve got Sennheisers, VModa, jays, Sony, Apple and now My second pair of Klipsch. The audio quality is as good as I’ve heard from my keenest £100 pair of vmodas and outstrips Apple by a clear mile. The bass response is great and more than anything, they are the most comfortable ‘phones I’ve ever used. The oval tips are a winner for me. If it weren’t for the lack of clicker on my Klipsch Image S2s, I would have stuck with those. My only criticism of the S4i is the bud design. It looks a little like something out of ‘I, Robot’ and I prefer the look of the S2s. That said, these are my favourite earphones right now and I’ve stopped impulsively buying more!

Excellent sound and worthy for this price range,
I have used many different brand of headphones, but I have always come back to Klipsch. This is a good replacement for the white Ipod standard earphone. If you want to have better sound for your music, and don’t want to pay more than what you pay for your Ipod, then this the one for you. The 3-button remote is very handy, as I keep my Ipod in my bag, I can switch my music easily with the remote. Sometime I also use this earphone with my Iphone 4, and the mic is also good to switch from music to voice call. Overall, this is an excellent product for this price range.

Decent headphones,
Received these today and passed all authenticity tests (sold by mp3 accessories/soundzdirect ltd). Build quality looks a touch iffy but time will tell on this one. Sound quality is good but not miles better than my v moda remix which I bought for £22 (available currently on amazon for £29.99). There is just a little more attack at the top end. They are extremely comfortable and due to the angle of the ear piece they are easy to fit. The build quality of the v moda remix would probably tip me in their direction if I compared them side by side (which I now have) However, to be fair only time will tell if the cables last. Also, I’ve heard that these benefit from a 40 hr “burn in” period so maybe the best is yet to come aswell sound wise.
