These reasonably priced, high-performance earphones go above and beyond what you’d expect from the stock earbuds that come with your MP3 player or music phone.

In fact, you’ll find Klipsch headphones are far superior to other brands—delivering unequaled comfort, noise isolation, musical accuracy and bass. Furthermore, Klipsch has managed to take its decades of research and development experience to value engineer the Image S4, while staying true to its audiophile heritage.

Amazing Comfort and Fit
Made just for you, the Image S4’s exclusive soft and flexible oval ear tips naturally fit the contours of your ear canals, providing comfortable long-term wear as well as producing a perfect acoustic seal. A good seal minimizes outside noise, also known as noise isolation, and allows you to enjoy your music at lower, safer volumes.

These headphones come with 3 different sizes of washable ear tips: a small/medium dual flange design as well as medium and large single flange designs. So light and narrow, they are almost impossible to feel inside your ears.

Premium Sound
At the heart of every Klipsch product is over 60 years of audio expertise beating strong. Our commitment to no-compromise performance has made us the preferred choice of top cinema operators, a leader in stereo and home theater sound and now a premium name in headphones. The Image S4 delivers strikingly realistic sound through the use of a single, moving coil driver (or mini speaker) per channel. These drivers cover a wide frequency range with dynamic detail. From heart-pounding bass to spine-tingling guitar riffs, you won’t miss a beat.

Added Frills
The Image S4 is available in two color options, either a piano black finish with silver accents or a pristine white finish with black and silver accents. It carries a 2-year warranty and works with the iPod, iPhone and other portable devices that feature a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. An ear tip cleaning tool and a compact, crush-resistant aluminum case are also included in the purchase.

Image S4 and S2 FAQs

How do I know if I have a good seal?
When no music is playing, your voice should sound louder and ambient noise should sound quieter, very similar to wearing a pair of ear plugs. Creating a tighter seal is simple. Insert the ear tip (while connected to the nozzle) into the ear canal, gently rotate it left and right and then slightly pull it back. This adjustment eliminates virtually all external noise so you can play your music at a lower volume, for a longer period of time, without experiencing ear fatigue.

Why am I not getting enough bass response?
It’s probably because you don’t have a good ear seal. Be sure to try out the various ear tip sizes. You may also want to try pulling the ear tip out slightly, as it may have collapsed.

Why are Image ear gels oval-shaped instead of round?
When Klipsch started studying three-dimensional ear impressions, it was discovered that nearly everyone has an oval-shaped ear canal. The company couldn’t believe that no one else had yet considered the anatomical shape of the ear canal when designing in-ear headphones. Aside from their comfort value, our oval ear tips load quickly and easily into the ear canals as well as virtually disappear from view.

What is the difference between the Image S4 and S2?
Aside from price, design, finish and the type of accessories included with each model, there are a few other differences between the S4 and S2. The S4 has an angled nozzle, while the S2 has a straight nozzle.

The S4 nozzles, or housings, are larger than those of the S2 because each employs exclusive dual-magnet micro-speakers. By giving these micro-speakers more room to move air, the S4 headphones deliver more output as well as category-leading musical accuracy and bass response. The nozzles are angled so that they fit comfortably and provide proper in-ear alignment. Klipsch believes the S4 sounds better than most headphones within the $80 to $150 range.

The S2 delivers superior bass response when compared to other models within the $50 price range, while also combining comfort and style. Like all Klipsch headphones, the S2 solves two of the biggest issues with all in-ear designs: they are extremely comfortable and offer a good seal for superior noise isolation—you won’t find these attributes anywhere else in the $50 price range.
