The Klipsch Image S4i Rugged Headphones utilize tough rubber moldings and an all-weather design to protect the legendary Klipsch sound from Mother Nature’s bad side. Neither rain, sleet, snow, nor concrete jungle can stop the award winning acoustics and live music experience of the Image S4i Rugged headphones.
 
An extra-large, 3-button remote lets you precisely control iPhone calls and music whether you’re wearing bulky gloves or are simply on the go. And while the headphones’ exterior is built tough, these in-ear headphones have patented oval ear tips to keep you comfortable.

What's the difference between this and the S5i?

I like the yellow...
 
Just like a Tonka Toy.

It has pretty colors
 
and hopefully a little cheaper considering it is just a redesigned s4 *crosses fingers*

I too would like to know if there are any differences other than the color?

The Image S4i Rugged are available in four different colors and we were able to lower the price tag as well!

It seems the major differences are:

- Different colors - red, yellow, orange, and blue
- Built-in volume adjustment
- Integrated mic
- Finger-friendly rubber moulding
- Apple-friendly commands

My ears aren't use-friendly, so I use Comply tips for better fit and comfort. There's improved bass and musicality using different tips. I'm very interested in the price.

So looking at the fact sheets, the S4i is significantly lighter than the S5i. I guess Klipsch took into consideration all the complaints people had about the heaviness of the remote and how it would pull down on the earbuds causing them to come out. The S5i will be discontinued, per Klipsch phone rep. The weight of the S5i is 11.9 grams, where as the S4i Rugged only weighs .15 grams. That is a significant different and to me warrants the wait. Plus the colors aren't to shabby either.

The S5i Rugged also has/had some of those features, but I/we are glad you are interested in the S4i Ruggeds!

We certainly do listen to our customers! I am partial to the orange color myself.

I am so excited, I signed up for this forum to let you know I am excited. You should see my two year old S4i's.. they're falling apart but I hung on to them as long as possible (or until I am no longer a broke student), they're wrapped in duck tape haha.
