Default Klipsch Image S4
I need more info on this , Amy can you send me a review copy please?
I will do a very in depth review in comparison to your other earphones that i own (custom 1 / 2 , image x5).

I cant wait to hear these, i was hoping you guys would release a budget bud.

Is it dynamic or BA?

Thats a competative price point, apple dual drivers, Se110, Nuforce 7s etc.
The freq range makes me think they are armatures (19Khz cutoff) , mind you the Senn IEs have a similar cutoff and are dynamic.

Wonder when they will be available?

I like the X10 v. X5 and S4 v. S2 comparisons on the Klipsch website. Will there be X-series v. S-series comparisons too? And...would Klipsch like to provide test units to a poor student in New Zealand?

i want to hear more about this, considering the S4 is $80, that's a Bargain for what Klipsch is Offering right now. if they keep up the work, i swear this is going to be the new Phonak =)

I think they will be good too- can't wait to hear how Klipsch does a dynamic. They look great, and the case seems like it's picking up on that Altoid tin idea. Cool stuff. I really liked the X10's when I had them.
