Klipsch S4i Rugged Pro Reviews

The original Klipsch S4 and S4i earphones have received high marks for their sound quality and comfort level. The one strike against them was that their cord was pretty thin and we heard complaints about them not holding up that well over time. The S4i Rugged earphones endeavor to do better in that department, and in the few weeks that I used them for sporting activities, as well as my daily commutes on the subway, they held up just fine, and I think they're a reasonable value at $100. For someone who doesn't like the feeling of having an eartip jammed in your ear, Bose now makes the SIE2 earphones, which offer some wiggle room while giving you a secure fit. But the SIE2s are more expensive, at $149.95 for the SEI2i model, which has a microphone and remote.
