More than a pair of headphones. More than a headphone/headset. The Image S4i from Klipsch. Combining headphones, a built-in microphone, and integrated Apple iPod-style control, the Image S4i lets you listen to all your favorite music with Klipsch quality audio, answer incoming calls, and continue to use iPod features like iPhone's Voice Command and iPod shuffle's VoiceOver.

Advanced control . . . iPod style

The Image S4i from Klipsch is no ordinary headphone/headset. Not only does the Image S4i allow you to listen to music on your iPod, MP3 player, or MP3-enabled cell phone and answer incoming calls, but it also allows you to continue using some of your favorite iPod features while still using a pair of headphones. First, while the built-in microphone is great for hands-free calling, it also lets you continue to use the iPhone 3GS's Voice Control, even when the iPhone is in your pocket. Second, a three-button control located on the headphone cable is great for navigating playlists, especially on the iPod shuffle 3G. Finally, the Image S4i even allows you to continue using the iPod shuffle 3G's VoiceOver function to hear a song's title, artist, or playlist, all at the touch of a button on the headphone cable.

Hello?

You love your MP3-enabled cell phone, if for no other reason than that it combines your two favorite portable devices. The only thing you don't like, however, is the hassle of switching between music and an incoming call when using a standard pair of headphones. Enter the Image S4i headphone/headset from Klipsch. While an advanced driver system reproduces all of your favorite music with renowned Klipsch accuracy and clarity, a control located on the Image S4i's cable lets you answer incoming calls at the press of a single button. From there, a 360° microphone integrated into the control captures and transmits your voice loud and clear. Any cell phone/MP3 combo deserves a high-performance headphone/headset.

Comfort and convenience

We're willing to bet that the size of your ear canals differs slightly from, let's say, that of Andre the Giant's. Helping to ensure a snug, comfortable fit, Klipsch includes four different silicon ear-tip pairs with the purchase of the Image S4i headset. For added convenience, the Image S4i headset also includes a cloth carrying pouch that keeps your headphones safe and clean, as well as an ear-tip cleaning tool. Further, a clothing clip keeps the headphone cable from snagging.
