The headphones that brought me into the over-ear/on-ear realm

Posted
By thepiper92

Pros: Bass, lighweight, surprisingly strong, look nice, good quality ear pads.

Cons: "Paint" on the headband, Size (feel like they should be over ears, but my ears are too small), fall off easily

The Image One's were the first over-ear/ on- ear headphone I purchased. I was always concerned about them not being as loud as in ears, and the portability issues as well, but with an amp, I was no longer concerned with volume, and I actually now find full sizes to be as portable as in ears. At the store, I was torn between a few in-ears, and the reference versions of these, which as far as I know are the same sound, just the reference series has a different look, and perhaps better materials (better as in better looking material perhaps). The Image Ones are truly a great pair of headphones, and I loved them even more when I was more of a bass head. Not saying I don't enjoy them still....

Good but not Great

Pros: Good highs, lows and bass

Cons: Could use an amp

For the price I thought they would be a bit better.  The materials are nothing special.  The cable is kind of cheap but I do know in their newest version of it the cable is improved.  I think you need an amp for these which is never something I want to do.  From what I hear though klipsch has moved back to the US and I hope that means they will put out more impressive models.  I still enjoyed it but I was left not satisfied.  They are comfortable though.

Good, solid, everyday headphone

By pmangan35

Pros: Nice bang for the buck, comfortable, bass response

Cons: light on mids, mic is too far away

I have been using these headphones almost every day for the better part of a year and they have proven to be very reliable. I did have to get them replaced about a week after I bought them for what sounded like a ripped cone in the left ear but no problems since, most likely a fluke since I haven't heard of the problem from anyone else. Bass notes are strong and mids are adequate, highs leave a bit to be desired but they produce an overall accurate sound. They do not, on the other hand, isolate noise very well so unless you listen to your music on the loud side, I would look elsewhere for airplanes and busy subways etc. As far as design goes, they are unobtrusive, lightweight, and easy...

By ilikedonkeys39

Pros: very nice bass, comfortable, well made, play pause controller

Cons: cable connets to both sides, looks kinda weird

if you enjoy bass like i do these are very good headphones for the price, they mids and highs are good, i cant go into detail because im not a audiophile but the bass is very thumpy and rumbly. This is a very fun sounding heapphone and exciting. These are pretty comfy and adjust nicely. Isolation is average and these handle leakage GREAT!! they hardly leak even at full volume.  Over all if you like bass these sound good and you can get theme for $90 on amazon right now

My 2nd favorite

Posted
By psycho2097

Pros: Punchy Bass, clear highs and mids, extremely comfortable, classy design, sturdy construction, portable

Cons: Soundstage not very airy, bass rumbles a bit too much sometimes, non removable cable

My favourite earphones were the Klipsch Image s4's. Purchased these for 80$ back in Jan 2011. Still going strong. Theses were my first expensive earphones, and they got me hooked. I have tried Bose, Sennheiser, Dr. Dre( haha lol...), Sony and a lot of othet IEMs/ headphones below 200$ after that, but none even came remotely close to my s4's. I currently own: 1. The s4's 2. The Image one 3. MEE M6 4.JVC HARX700 5. Apple stock 6. couple of samsung stocks, etc...   So my s4's were getting older, and I thought, might as well get a decent backup earphone. I wanted something with a similar sound signature to the s4, good, thumping bass, overall clarity on the sound...

Pros: iPod control

Cons: Ear cups are leather (ears sweat)

I love the iPod control. Good all around sound but they are a tad bass heavy. The fit is good but the ear pads can make you sweat here in Las Vegas.

These headphones are excellent portable headphones. In this category, I would rank them quite high. The headphones do well in all categories. The highs and lows are good, and the mids are warm. The bass is amplified unnecessarily, but I would consider them to be better quality than the Beats Studio or Solo. The design is minimalistic and refreshing when compared to some of the weird designs today. The headphones are sturdy, but can also acquire some smudges. The cups are a bit smaller than what they should be, but they provide good isolation. Also, people around you cannot hear anything you're listening to even at a decent volume. Overall, these headphones are well worth the money if...

Solid Mainstream Product

Posted
By Ultrazino

Pros: clean and crisp sounds if equalized, iPhone remote/mic

Cons: bass quantity, technical design

My first impressions were simply horrible! The bass quantity is way too much. So in the following review I will have equalized the iPod app in iOS 4.3 with the "less bass" option.   Build quality: Rubbery plastic, fake leather, fake chrome made out of plastic, ... typically made/designed in America! Nice looks at first, but cheap materials on closer looks. The design is a cross of Phiaton's PS320 and Bose's On-Ear. It's not too bad, but it's still very far from anything high quality or luxurious. The cable feels nice and the plastic buttons on the remote respond well. My only two actual concerns with the design are that the earcups don't rotate far enough (they remain...
