Klipsch Image S4 II: good earphones get better

2012-11-15
I'm David Connolly executive editor for cnet.com and I'm here with the Klipsch s4i twos these are in ear headphones and they are very popular in ear headphones and they've been highly rated by CNET in the past clips really hasn't done much to change them but the one big difference is the core design clips has gone to a flat core design the earlier model has some complaints about durability especially for some of the sporting activities the cord didn't hold up so well was very thin this one is a flat cord tangle resistant and other than that clips really hasn't changed anything the sound these had very good sound for the money these are sub $100 earphones this model here the s4 eye has a built-in inline remote with the microphone that's $99 and the step-down model the simply the s4 2 has no inline remote and that's $79 from a performance standpoint what's interesting about these clips earphones is that one of the keys to them is the ear tip itself and also the design of the earphone it just is a comfortable earphone and it really gets a tight seal in your ear and clips has some of the best ear tips in the business they're just more conical shape and that really helps with the sound particularly the bass I personally don't think these are that much better than compute models they're very they sound very good but what happens with these clip shows is since you get such a nice tight seal they really do deliver the best sound for what they can do so again the key design change here is that flat core design everything else is the same including the sound so Klipsch is basically made a very good earphone even better I will say this if you are interested in doing sporting activities with these clips also makes the rugged s4 I that's a sports model and that has a sweat resistant design and that is probably a better choice if you are using these at the gym or for running I'm David Carr noise and those are the clips s4 i2 in your headphones thanks for watching
