 Perfect for a professional musician July 28, 2010
Isaac Mullins, Jr. (Conyers, Georgia United States)
Only issue I have is the cord is thin. Otherwise, these headsets are just as great as sets costing twice as much. I have has Bose, high end Shure monitor headsets as well as a few others. These are lighter, have a clean and tight response, and the bass is crisp and clear.
Get these, you won't regret it!
Best earbuds you can buy. Period! July 28, 2010
Ammo Warrior
I purchased these earbuds after spending about $100 on other ones that either broke or sounded like I was listening to music in a steel box. These earbuds sound on par if not better than buds that are 3 times the price. You will not be dissapointed. Worth the $80. I can't recomend the Klipsch Image S4 enough. Buy these!
Make sure you break them in... July 27, 2010
A. Omer (Austin, TX)
The biggest tip I can give about these earphones is to break them in. I was initially very disappointed with the quality of sound, despite extremely favorable online ratings. The sound isolation was unimpressive and the mids and highs were far too prominent vs. lower frequency sounds.
Turns out the first was user error (I was using the wrong sized ear tips so the sound isolation wasn't as good as it needed to be).
As for the poor bass, I read user forums that suggested letting my mp3 player running for a dozen hours or so. And I did, to find remarkably improved performance. So for any others who aren't privy to what audiophiles probably know about, give these guys a chance to break-in.
 Nice product, but not for everyone July 23, 2010
Brian W. Lewis (New York, NY USA)
I am no headphone aficionado, but these sound pretty good to me. However, some of the overwhelmingly positive reviews are wrong about a few things. In particular, the Cnet review is way off. I'll just list the flaws, and you can look at the other reviews for the good stuff. The bass is purposely over the top. Whatever "enhancing" this does turns the bass noise into a muted "Brrrr" sound instead of the sound of a string being hit. As a side effect the notes swirl together. The loudness of the bass also renders some songs unlistenable on my ipod no matter what EQ setting I use (the luckiest guy on the lower by the magnetic fields - almost anything flaming lips). Voices and guitars sound tinny and flat. If voice or a voice equivalent gets loud enough, the sound crackles gently (Fiona Apple, Okkervil River, bell-sounding-things on some Air songs). Finally, sound isolation works for voices, but not for low rumbles or cars, and it works very poorly without music on. In addition, these bleed noise.
Everything else in the positive reviews is pretty much spot on.
Very good but somewhat fragile July 23, 2010
Sarang
These are good earphones. They have a good frequency response (seem true to specifications). They have good realistic bass and don't seem too bass-heavy. I won't say much about the sound quality - it is good, as is expected. They are very comfortable to wear. The manufacturer's website has tips for wearing them properly and when followed to achieve a good seal, they block external noise very well. However all the sounds produced by your insides vibrating appear to be much louder - if you hum even in a low voice, you will hear sounds that will interfere with the music. Same with running - you can hear yourself while running. But don't get me wrong - the noise blocking does really work well, well enough to block out the loudest honking and sirens and all other noise on the streets.
One real problem with them is if you wear them when it is windy, the sound quality is affected adversely. This is to be expected because of their back vented design and I don't see an easy workaround. The flaw is not noticeable indoors or even outdoors in most cases, but it becomes apparent while, say, walking across a bridge on a windy day.
Another negative aspect is that they seem very fragile. The wires have thin rubber / plastic insulation with no reinforcement whatsoever and feel like they could break / come undone from the buds easily. Six months after purchase, mine are still working well, but I expected better build quality at this price point.
On the whole, I'd recommend them for purchase to a careful user and they are definitely good while they last. However if you are not good with fragile things and tend to break them easily, a sturdier pair of earphones might prove to be a better purchase.
