Klipsch Image S3 Review

 

Outstanding sound, fairly priced

The Klipsch S3 line of headphones delivers fantastic sound for an unbeatable price ; Noise-isolating technology ; Comes in 4 different colors for your personal preference ; Oval shaped ear plugs provide a very comfortable experience for extended wear

Not the greatest sounding headphones, but worth it for the selling price ; Only comes in 4 colors

Although these headphones deliver quality sound at a decent price, they are lacking in a variety of styles and therefore are given a rating of 4.

Klipsch Image S3 Headphones

 

While Klipsch's Image S3 will stand up to multiple drops and does a great job repelling liquids, it won't take much force to pull the headphones from your ears. Another big drawback is the sound quality, which earned dismal scores in our lab tests....

Good for the money

 

Other than that, good in-ear phones for the price.

Sound quality is on point for the money (~$20). Plays music just fine and isolates sound well

I also own S4's; these are definitely not S4's. The lower sound quality is noticeable and the construction is a bit cheap. The rubber ear inserts feel plastic-y and are not as comfortable; these are probably the worst aspect

Great No Frills PSU

 

For those that have trouble keeping them in, I'd suggest rotating them 180 degrees and looping the wire behind the ear. Then move the slide up to make them comfortably snug. This provides a good flexible strain isolation from donw the cable.

Oval tip is not just a marketing feature - it really does increase comfort and fit ; The sound is good and with quite adequate Bass unless you're into Hip-Hop, I guess. The more natural bass of classical music comes out just fine

Great Value

 

For the price I've not heard a better sounding headphone. These acutually sound better than my Wife's Dr. Dre ear buds which cost more than double, except for the bass is weaker on these. Quality materials were used and the construction is very good. A...

Much better than I expected

 

These really good and at least as good or better than my $99 Bose earbuds. Better sound quality and fit much better too. I would not have expected them to be this good from reading the reviews. If you listen to compressed music (mp3s) you don't need...

Great for the price

 

Definitely enjoy these ear buds. Great sound quality, light, super comfortable. I will admit, if you only have one ear in, then the sound quality drops a lot(as in zero low end), but if you have both in, then these sounds better than my Shure SE215s....
