Klipsch Image S4?

[jonhapimp]

Alright i have probably about 300+ hours on my S4s and i think the Sibilance is becoming an issue again, keep in mind that one of my ears is out, but I'm not sure if that's the reason

So there is some build quality issues with the s4s? Like sibillance issues and wire issues ? :/

I argue that there aren't any at all, and that they way surpass $80 quality.

The wire is really thin, i could've got just a bad batch, but i'm not sure the problem of the sibillance issue, it could be the driver instead of the wire, but who knows.
I think the build quality isn't the best but better than alot of headphones
let me reiterate, it's the stress reliefs that don't seem to be the best quailty everything else is fine
I would still recommend it

You know there is a Two Year Warranty on these, right? Contact Klipsch for warranty work. If it is due to a defect in workmanship (read "build quality"), I'm sure that Klipsch will fix them. If they determine it was due to damage, I don't know how they'll treat it.

Posting comments about your S4s having supposed sonic problems, when one phone is not working, is as absurd as a guy, with one eye closed, posting that things don't look right.

I thought he meant he had a hearing problem in one of his ears due to wax buildup.

So that's how you have a mature discussion by calling people names,
for one I don't have my receipt with me so i can't get it sent back until the mid of january, two the sonic problems are new because they shouldn't change just because one of the ears went out, i read somewhere on the fourms that sometimes they're are bad periods in the burn in, like the sound being good then going bad and back to good sounding again. Just because my experience with the earphones are different from yours doesn't mean it's not right, maybe you should processes that "logically"
But this isn't going anywhere if you result to name calling
goodby
EDIT seems like you edited your post about me being 12 before i replied
@bcpk
no i said it was because of the shoddy build quality, which the left stress relief broke within a month but the left earbud didn't go out until 4 months
i would still buy it if i knew it would happen, their that good of iem

Actually, the audible difference between 256 kbps VBR AAC and 320 kbps CBR AAC is so tiny that to tell the difference requires equipment I couldn't come close to affording.

Remember, I'm using AAC encoding, which does a much better job of lossy compression than the MP3 format.

Curious, is there a way to convert FLAC to AAC with EAC?

Don't think so, but I'm pretty sure dBpoweramp can if you install the right codecs with it.

Hey guys, I'm now able to order online, so I need some accessories for my S4s:

Different tip sizes
Plastic wire guides for over the ear style

What's a good EU site for these things? Or Dutch, for that matter...

 

[yipcanjo]

Hey, all. I recently compared my Klipsch S4s to the Etymotic HF5s.

Might be a help to someone out there.

I just got my Klipsch S4 and I compared them to the UE Super.Fi 3 studio. I am kind of disappointed from the clarity they offer. The SF 3 offer way more clarity. Of cause the Bass is much more present with the S4's but in my opinion they sound relatively cheap. The sound profile is more comparible to the cheaper bass-heavy IEM's. Except for Dance music I would always prefer the SF3 over the Klipsch and I don't really think that the Klipsch are worth the money. I get IEM's for a fraction of the price that sound nearly as good. Can't really understand why they are hyped that much...

So you haven't burned them in yet? Read the whole thread. These need extensive burn-in. They don't sound good when you "just got" them.

I also do not hear any boomy bass problems either. I think that the bass and the treble are already in line.
