Call me impatient: I ordered a pair of new Klipsch Image S4 Headphones this week from the Klipsch site. I got free shipping and they are expected to be delivered on Tuesday via Fed Ex. The waiting is KILLING ME! LOL - Glenn

i don't think it's good for a porsche to sit for three months. i'd better buy fly out and drive it out to california and then back again, so it's broke in for you once you recover in about a year or two. (i wouldn't suggest rushing back from an ankle injury).

Yup, I have those KP 3002's and 4002's sitting 20 minutes away and yet, won't be here until Monday at best, even though they cleared customs.

Guess Mike took my advice and didn't stuff the cabinets with "goodie bags".

I hope to entirely convert to Klipsch and pray for the day a pro line returns.

I actually got to do something like that when I was 18. A friend had a minor crash on his new 650 Triumph and injured his ankle. It wasn't too serious, but he couldn't walk on it for a couple of weeks and asked me to break it in for him. No problem! I lived near Quebec City then, so of course I rode it to Montreal and back (140 miles each way), along with lots of local rides. It was an enjoyable couple of weeks.

windchester21: Oh, man; that would just suck. If it had been an automatic, maybe you could have driven it, but where's the fun in driving a Porsche that isn't a stick? Do they even make an auto trans for those? Sacrilege!

I did and they work very good. I can hear clearly and those i'm talking to say they can hear me clearly as well. I was a little disappointed with them music wise though. Maybe it's impossible to get good bottom end in an earpiece??? Acoustical songs sound awesome; but, when a harder rock song is on--it sounds very tinney. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase though.
