Reasonably Decent,
Before reviewing the specifics of this product, it’s important to briefly discuss the context, which is that there is no perfect earbud/in-ear set of ‘phones for iPhone/iPod. All models are a compromise of sound quality, durability and comfort, and these Klipsch’s are no exception. In comparison to the very best in-ear ‘phones I’ve ever used, they have some advantages and disadvantages.
The sound quality compares favorably with the various Shure Sound Isolating earphones that I have used in the past, with a smooth quality, naturalness and clarity that is better than the Shure models, which are very clear but in comparison have an artificial touch to them. Bass leaves an impression without force, the same for any type of earphone. Noise-isolation is far inferior to the comparable Shure models, though, which effectively limit external noise. Wit the S2s, I can hear the sound of the keys clacking, crisply and transparently as I type this review, all while listening to the Rite of Spring.
Construction quality is also a mixed bag. The design seems to indicate that these will be durable – the actual horn on the Shures tends to crack after 18 months or so – but the handy lapel clip attached to the wires fell off and disappeared after I had used it once. They are far more comfortably in the ear than any other type I’ve used. It’s inevitable that fatigue will develop when wearing anything like this long enough, but it comes far more slowly with the Klipsch.
Tested these with an iPhone, iPod Classic, MacBook Pro and iMac, they work equally well with all the hardware. Taken together with the price, these are a better than average value, if not the final answer to all your earphone questions.

|Works great with HTC Incredible,
I purchased this product based on price and Klipsch’s reputation.
The sound is excellent! Great mids and highs, the lows are good but not super bass. I believe that more bass on these phones would distort the great mids and highs. I listen to all types of electronic music including drum and bass and these phones sound great.
They are very comfortable but I will admit you will need to give yourself a little time for your ears to adjust to these type of head phones. Be a little patent and your eardrums will be happy.
The mic works very well, I have been walking home from work for the past three weeks and walked through windy conditions and people have not had a problem hearing me.
I rated this product five stars based on price and performance. This is the best buy for around $40.
Works great with HTC Incredible. (ANDROID FTW)

|Good value for money, great for everyday use.,
This is the first time I used IN EAR headsets and I must say it took me some time (a couple of hours) to get used to the concept, but once I did I really enjoyed them. They are lightweight and can be used for long time without too much problems.
The audio quality is not that impressive especially the bass, but for 40$ they are more than decent
They do a good job in blocking external sounds but they don’t block them completely.
The worse part for me is that since the ear pieces go inside your ear they act like a `noise funnel’ directly to your brain which means that any rustling of the cables echoes loudly inside your head, so I wouldn’t recommend them for sports or activities that cause the cable to move around too much.
They have a clip to attach them to your jacket which is nice but most headsets have these.
Also, they have a mute button which is not all that useful since you still have earplugs in your ears when you mute the music so I prefer to remove them completely when I want to interact
In terms of compatibility, I tested with several phones, and the only one it worked well with was the motorola droid, all other phones including all generations of iphone, nexus one, g1, nokia smartphones and samsung galaxy did not work.
the additional ear plugs were of no use for me since the regular ones fit perfectly.
