CNET's #1 Best Product of the Summer 2009!

These reasonably priced, high-performance earphones go above and beyond what you’d expect from the stock earbuds that come with your MP3 player or music phone.
In fact, you’ll find Klipsch headphones are far superior to other brands—delivering unequaled comfort, noise isolation, musical accuracy and bass. Furthermore, Klipsch has managed to take its decades of research and development experience to value engineer the Image S4, while staying true to its audiophile heritage.

Amazing Comfort and Fit
Made just for you, the Image S4’s exclusive soft and flexible oval ear tips naturally fit the contours of your ear canals, providing comfortable long-term wear as well as producing a perfect acoustic seal. A good seal minimizes outside noise, also known as noise isolation, and allows you to enjoy your music at lower, safer volumes.
These headphones come with 3 different sizes of washable ear tips: a small/medium dual flange design as well as medium and large single flange designs. So light and narrow, they are almost impossible to feel inside your ears.

Premium Sound
At the heart of every Klipsch product is over 60 years of audio expertise beating strong. Our commitment to no-compromise performance has made us the preferred choice of top cinema operators, a leader in stereo and home theater sound and now a premium name in headphones.
The Image S4 delivers strikingly realistic sound through the use of a single, moving coil driver (or mini speaker) per channel. These drivers cover a wide frequency range with dynamic detail. From heart-pounding bass to spine-tingling guitar riffs, you won’t miss a beat.

Added Frills
Available in a beautiful piano black finish with silver accents, the Image S4 makes quite a fashion statement. It carries a 2-year warranty and works with the iPod, iPhone and other portable devices that feature a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. An ear tip cleaning tool and a compact, crush-resistant aluminum case are also included in the purchase.

Image S4 and S2 FAQs

How do I know if I have a good seal?
When no music is playing, your voice should sound louder and ambient noise should sound quieter, very similar to wearing a pair of ear plugs. Creating a tighter seal is simple. Insert the ear tip (while connected to the nozzle) into the ear canal, gently rotate it left and right and then slightly pull it back. This adjustment eliminates virtually all external noise so you can play your music at a lower volume, for a longer period of time, without experiencing ear fatigue.

Why am I not getting enough bass response?
It’s probably because you don’t have a good ear seal. Be sure to try out the various ear tip sizes. You may also want to try pulling the ear tip out slightly, as it may have collapsed.

Why are Image ear gels oval-shaped instead of round?
When Klipsch started studying 3-dimensional ear impressions, it was discovered that nearly everyone has an oval-shaped ear canal. The company couldn’t believe that no one else had yet considered the anatomical shape of the ear canal when designing in-ear headphones. Aside from their comfort value, our oval ear tips load quickly and easily into the ear canals as well as virtually disappear from view.

What is the difference between the Image S4 and S2?
Aside from price, design, finish and the type of accessories included with each model, there are a few other differences between the S4 and S2. The S4 has angled nozzles and larger housings, while the S2 has straight nozzles and smaller housings.
The S4 housings are larger because each employs exclusive dual-magnet micro-speakers. By giving these micro-speakers larger diaphragms, the S4 headphones deliver more output as well as category-leading musical accuracy and bass response. Klipsch believes the S4 sounds better than most headphones within the $80 to $150 range.
The S2 delivers superior bass response when compared to other models within the $50 price range, while also combining comfort and style. Like all Klipsch headphones, the S2 solves two of the biggest issues with all in-ear designs: they are extremely comfortable and offer a good seal for superior noise isolation—you won’t find these attributes anywhere else in this price range.

Felix Yau, TouchMyApps.com (August, 2009)
"Offering good, yet laid-back highs, excellent mids, and mind blowing bass, the Klipsch S4 is definitely a top-tier performer. Quality is great - certainly among the best at the price ..."More

Al Gibes, Las Vegas Review Journal (August, 2009)
"Klipsch got it right when it put oval-shaped tips on these in-ear headphones. The oval design better fits the natural contours of the ear canal, making these earbuds comfortable." More

Complex (July, 2009)
"The S4 headphones deliver the crispest, sharpest, bassiest, and overall best sound of any earbuds we’ve ever tried—and as NYC commuters (and habitual earbud misplacers), we’ve tried a helluva lot. When compared to other headphones in its price range (and even some more expensive competitors), the S4 is at the top of the line." More

Nick Mokey, Digital Trends (July, 2009)
“Sound quality is among the best we’ve heard in this price category. The perfect seal between ear and driver seals out nearly all outside noise, helps create bass that’s bold without getting artificially boomy, and the tiny microdrivers manage to drive out sizzling percussion and slippery smooth vocals.”More

Tyler Thoreson, Men.Style.com (June, 2009)
" ... I recommend picking up a pair ... the S4s' bass output is something to be reckoned with." More

Entertainment Weekly (June, 2009)
"Who knew in-ear headphones could sound fantastic and actually feel good?"More

Jon Wilde, Men's Journal (June, 2009)
"End result: If I were going to drop $80 to upgrade my mp3 player’s earbuds — and please, dear god, do not stick with the stock earphones — these would be the pair I’d buy." More

Bill Henderson, iPhoneWorld (June, 2009)
"I really enjoy listening to the S4s. A good test for me is whether I listen to them even when I “don’t have to”. I do. A lot." More

Gregg Ellman, Syndicated Tech Columnist (June, 2009)
" ... they sound great, with a nice amount of bass, which is often missing in headphones and a very clear sound."

Gregg Ellman, Syndicated Tech Columnist (June, 2009)
"Unlike dozens of other headphones I've tried, these did wear with comfort."More

Jasmine France, CNET (May, 2009)
"These supercomfy noise-isolating earphones offer shockingly stellar sound quality, certainly much better than their $80 price tag suggests."More

Gary Krakow, BuyMeGetMe.com (May, 2009)
"These headphones are just as comfortable as their expensive cousins ... If you own a portable music device discard those horrible-sounding “free” buds that came in the box and listen to a pair of S4s."More

Darren Murph, Engadget (May, 2009)
"Unlike most earbuds, these boast oval gels -- compared to the perfectly round ones elsewhere -- and we must say, we dig the difference. The seal on these buds were perfect for us, even mitigating surrounding noise quite well. We were able to listen for a few hours straight with no discomfort to speak of, and generally speaking, we were stoked with the quality of sound." More

Darren Murph, Engadget (May, 2009)
"The tight seal ensured that bass response was magnificent without being overly punchy, and the heralded "Klipsch sound" is definitely captured here." More

Jay Siegel, examiner.com (April, 2009)
"These are a huge improvement over any earbuds included with an iPod or other MP3 type player. For $79.99 (U.S. MSRP) they are a good value and I don’t hesitate to recommend them." More

Jay Siegel, examiner.com (April, 2009)
"Hands down, these are the most comfortable in-ear headphones I've ever used!" More

Jay Siegel, examiner.com (April, 2009)
