Klipsch has released Image S4 and S2 affordable in-ear headphones. The S4 and S2 are the first headphones in Klipsch’s headphone range that are priced below $129.99. Both the headphones use the same proprietary ear tips that are extremely comfortable and have superior noise isolation, and are found on company’s premium headphones. The ear tips have Klipsch’s patent-pending oval shape that fits naturally to the contours of human ear canals.

Additionally, the Image S4 and S2 are moving coil designs with controlled damping, allowing them to deliver smooth, full-bodied sound that is similar to a balanced armature. In fact, the S4 has a “hot rod” dual magnet motor structure that increases the damping factor. It’s a feature that allows kick drums to “attack” and intermodulation distortion, or IMD, to be significantly reduced.

The Image S4 will be available for $79 in a piano black and silver finish with three different-sized oval ear tips, an ear tip cleaning tool and a compact, crush resistant aluminum case. The Image S2 will come in piano black finish for $49 with three different-sized oval ear tips and a cloth carrying pouch.  The S4 will ship in April and the S2 will ship in July.
