THEY'RE HERE! The Image S4's arrived this afternoon via FedEx. I tried them out and wound up experimenting with all three sized ear cups that came with them. According to my Ear, Nose and Throat doctor, I have rather small ear openings as compared to average. I have been using a pair of cheap Sony earbuds in the interim because our local Best Buy was sold out of the Klipsch ones at the time (about 6 months ago) and they don't stock S4s. With the Sonys, I have to use the smallest ears cups. However, the S4's ship with the medium cups installed.

When I first tried the Klipsch S4s on with the medium cups, they seemed to fit pretty well and the treble and mids were nice and crisp and accurate-sounding. I could here a lot of detail that I missed using the Sony's, but what would you expect from a $30 pair of Sony earbuds? The bass with the S4s was not bad, but somewhat lacking. I went to the smallest cups and man, the bass was even less and they didn't fit well at all, so I got worried. I then tried the largest cups, but I didn't expect them to fit very well due to what I know about my ear openings. Actually, they fit perfect and wow: the bass was not only back but man, there was more than ever and it was clean and tight! The sound from my Sansung Eternity phone has never sounded better and because the S4s are so efficient, they play louder than the Sonys do (the Sony's really lacked volume on this phone). In comparison to the S4s, the Sonys sound dull and muddy.  I didn't buy the S4i because I do not have an iphone. I can't wait to go to the office tomorrow and give these babies a long listen. I hope I don't have many meetings tomorrow! LOL

The S4s were well worth the short wait and I really like the nice Klipsch, crush-proof tin they came in with the cleaning tool and different sized cups. My wife and I remember trying out the prototypes for the Klipsch headphones at the Indy Pilgrimage a few years ago and we fell in love with them then. The trouble was, the earlier models had much higher price points and that is more than Verna and I are willing to pay for earbuds. But these S4s are under $100, comfortable and seem well worth the price. Nice job, Klipsch! - Glenn

Glad to hear that, you big eared sucker Just kidding

 Glad you like them, one day I will break down and get some, I wanted the custom 3 model but the price was more than I could talk myself into as little as I would use them, might have to try another model one day.

I am on a waiting list for a custom knife- 3 years est- My friend is on year 4 waiting for his.

Makes me wonder if I will live long enough to see it. Maybe my kids will enjoy it.
