Read through this thread you'll find quite a few differences spotted by other buyers alond with pictures: http://community.klipsch.com/forums/t/145797.aspx

Low volume, Weak Bass. Happened to me when i switched out the medium ear buds (which fit me right) and tried the 'cool' double flanged buds [] The sound was weak, hollow and bass just poof! disappeared. Getting the earbud fit/size right is important, it's possible that none of the the sizes included work for you in that case try Comply T-100 Foam Ear tips. Just do a search on youtube and you'll find quite a few reviews.

Dunno, i got my S4 for $21 on ebay and they do have the silver mesh thingy in them. so does the S4i that i got from a different seller (also on ebay). I believe the S4i used to have the L-shaped plug, but not the S4 (?) not certain.... Edit: A friend just brought around a pair of S4 earphones with the smooth nozzle that had been declared a fake by a klipsch rep in this: http://community.klipsch.com/forums/t/159153.aspx thread and it happens to have the silver mesh inside....[*-)]

Wouldn't something like this be simpler: With my ebay (fake/real [*-)]) Klipsch S4 earphones i get 0.04 - 1.37

I recently purchased a pair of S4 and S4i each costing $21 and $38 respectively. I don't know if they're fake or genuine, the low price obviously is a red flag... But after having scoured these forums for posts about how to spot a fake i'm confused because all signs point to these being the real deal [*-)] I own a pair of Sennheiser HD215 cans that have amazing clarity so i'm not easy to impress, but these sound pretty good to me. SQ has gotten better after a couple days of use, base not owerpowering anymore, better definition etc.. I took some pics of all the things to look for in a fake... what do you guys think??? http://www.flickr.com/photos/78055161@N06/6841999970/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/78055161@N06/6988124723/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/78055161@N06/6842000710/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/78055161@N06/6842000354/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/78055161@N06/6988124957/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/78055161@N06/6841999424/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/78055161@N06/6841999730/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/78055161@N06/6988124353/in/photostream/ And i was able to see a fine silver mesh inside both pairs of earphones, just couldn't photograph them [] P.S. : The 'klipsch' logo did not rub off even after vigorous scratching with my nails []
