Klipsch S4i II review: Same impressive sound, better cord design

 

With the $99 Image S4i II earphones, Klipsch has improved upon its highly rated S4 model with a new tangle-resistant, more durable flat cord.

The ; in-ear headphones have the same impressive sound and fit as the original S4i model but they're more durable and have a tangle-resistant flat cord. There's an integrated Apple-friendly remote/microphone and they come with a nice, compact carrying...

Opt for other models in the S4 line if you want Android compatibility or better sweat resistance; bass lovers probably won't be satisfied by the amount of bass.

The Klipsch Image S4i II in-ear headphones add a new, more durable tangle-resistant flat cord while retaining the S4 model's very respectable sound quality and superior comfort.

Klipsch S4i Rugged in-ear headphones review

 

Combining a comfortable fit with excellent sound for the money, Klipsch's original Image S4 and S4i earphones have long been among our favorites here at CNET. That said, I've seen some complaints about them not being durable enough, especially for...

The Klipsch S4i Rugged in-ear headphones have the same impressive sound and fit as the original S4i model but they're more durable and have a sweat-resistant design. There's an integrated Apple-friendly remote/microphone and they come with a nice,...

While the larger remote is easier to operate by feel, it does dangle and knock around a bit when you're running; the inline remote isn't compatible with many Android smartphones.

While serious runners may find that the S4i Rugged in-ear headphones won't stay in their ears that securely, they're an excellent pair for gym and everyday use.

Great Sound Great VAlue

 

I have been wearing a pair of these for almost 5 years and they are still fantastic. They are very durable. No problem with cord wear or breaking. I wear them during walks in hot and humid weather so they get pretty wet and have never failed. I love...

Fantastic Noise Isolation and really comfortable

The control pad is a bit large and the shirt clip is pretty useless
