Klipsch Image S4A (Black)

The S4A Just Doesn't Hold Up Therefore I Can't Recommend

This is a simple review to the point:

The Klipsch S4A are fine headphones...when they work. In the space of nine months I'm have had to return a set for the second time. The problem with both returns are for the same: the mic quits working then not long afterward one of the headphones goes out. Very frustrating. I can not, therefore, in good faith recommend the S4A. I wish I could. As I said before, I like them fine when they work. Alas, the quality of the construction just isn't there.

I will give kudos to the SE service dept for their help with the returns. They've been helpful and efficient every time I've needed them. Wish the headphones were as good.

Nice Headphones, Good Sound Isolation, Bad Mic Placement

I bought the Klipsch Image S4A to use with my HTC One V Android 4.0 phone. I was looking for lightweight, in-ear headphones with a microphone.

I am very happy with the headphones overall:

Comfortable ear plugs, pretty good sound isolation (not as good as noise-cancelling headphones), good sound quality, a cord that untangles easily, very lightweight. I am a bus and subway commuter, and the noise isolation is good -- I don't have to crank up the volume to 11 whlie on the subway.

My major ding is that the microphone on the cord is not well placed for good audio quality. I have to hold the microphone close to my mouth for others to hear me on the phone. Maybe it's not a knock on the product, but I don't find myself using the Android-specific phone controls on the cord -- I still control muting, stopping, etc. from my phone.

Love them

I highly recommend this, the audio quality is very very good.

Great set of buds!!

Got these for use in my Galaxy s3 and they sound awesome! Very comfortable, rich full bass, very clear sound. Only complaint could be that they could have used a more quality insulated wire, but doesn't hurt sound at all, just feel. Highly recommended!!!

Best buy for me

I researched for quite awhile before deciding on the Klipsch Image S4A ear buds and I was not disappointed. They fit snugly and comfortably in my ears and the sound is superb. A little more expensive but I got what I paid for.

Klipsch SA4 Headset for Android

I bought these headphones to use with my Samsung Galaxy at the gym while running on the treadmill. I use them 4-5x a week and I have to say they have held up very, very well. I switched from Shure E3C, which are a slightly more expensive set around $129. But when I researched these, CNET had high recommendations as best for an Android. The reason I switched was because the Shure just were not holding up, The wires kept shorting or they would get wet from working out and perform. I switched to this cheaper model at $65 but these sound just as amazing if not better and the wire cable is thicker and sturdier with a nice fit. They come with a nice case too. I'm very pleased with my purchase and would definitely buy these again.

best buds I've ever owned

The sound is clear, bass is good, fits in ear comfortably

Great value

It's light, the sound is great.
You can control it with your android phone.

Nice earphones

These are OK ear phones. Maybe as good as it gets for the price.

Excellent quality & value

After reading many reviews and forums I decided to give these a go. I am a music producer so I am critical of sound quality. I am incredibly happy with them. They are exactly what I expected.
So happy to find a pair of ear buds of this quality that actually have the android remote built in. The Klipsch app is useless on my Galaxy SII (unless they've found a workaround recently) but I don't really care. I can still answer calls with the remote button, mute sound, or skip tracks (slow double-click).
Very clear and accurate sound. Quite the bargain for the price. Very happy.
