I'm David Connolly executive editor cnet.com and I'm here with the Eclipse ex s7i in-ear headphones this is the step-up model to clips his popular s42 eye in your headphones and it does have the same Apple 3 button remote so this is geared towards Apple devices the remote will not function fully with Android devices though the mic will like that s4 to why this has a flat core design and really the signature here though is the ceramic earpieces they have these nice very polished onyx like earpieces and they're supposed to be durable and they have a balanced armature design they also have a kind of audiophile profile with a well balanced detailed sound that does not over accentuate the bass that means if you are a bass lover you probably will not love these headphones when I compare them to the s4 two eyes which costs half the price at around $100 these guys do sound more detailed they do offer a little bit tighter bass and overall they sound clearer so they are a better headphone however I would not say they're twice as good as a step-down model that's where the problem I have these in terms of the value equation there's a lot of in ear headphones in that kind of 50 to 150 dollar price range and this is a little bit higher than that so it really had to WoW me and I just wanted a little bit more out of them a little bit more detail a little bit more dynamic open feel to them they're good very decent earphones when we start getting up into that $200 price range you start to demand a little bit more from these earphones so if you can find them for 50 to $75 less they do tend to go down in price over time these are certainly worth considering I really like the design I felt they were really comfortable Clips is known for its oval shaped earpiece of the do give you a tight seal and I didn't have a problem wearing these for long periods of time I'm David Carr noise and those are the clips x7i earphones thanks for watching you
