Eh, putting the bass inline in the S4 via eq or source matching works quite well. Mine are original launch, have been tugged and pulled on and really beat up (they go with me everywhere and aside from going through there very first jack replacement last month work perfectly. I won't lie about that treble being sibilant. If I had already been through my introduction to hifi I probably wouldn't have bothered with that sibilance. Back then I loved the edginess cause I didn't know any better
My pair rarely play anything sibilant at all anymore though, 3+ years of constant everyday use have smoothed them out.

It uses a dual driver design (40mm sub for bass and mids, 15mm tweeter for highs) with a crossover so hopefully not; that's got to take a lot more effort to design than the sound of beats.

Doesn't look like its priced at $160? Its MSRP is $100 which is $20 more than S4 MSRP. Sadly, that probably also proves that were only getting a mere cable upgrade and a flashier color scheme. I'm not expecting anything of it in all honesty but i'll have to compare it to my 3+ year old S4.
Hmmm. They really need a "compare" guide for all of their S4 variations.

Personally, I found the original S4 to be bass-bloated and horribly sibilant. Comfortable, but not much fun to listen to.

The cables do look more sophisticated and 'pro' . I really hope they add more smoothness to the drivers or smth, far too much sibilance for me. Painful sometimes..
The MODE M40 noise cancelling headphones looks good and sleek, hopefully not another variation of the soul or the studios.
