Kilpsch Image S4a

For those who've been looking for a pair of great of IEMs with android compatable inline controls, the S4a's are out. Happened to come across them at Futureshop today so it was a pleasant surprise, although I'm still iffy about the 120CAD I put towards them. Once they have about 100+ hours of burn in I'll decide if I'll keep 'em for a few reasons.
The box includes the usual multiple sized tips and the earbuds themselves, but they also come with a clip to use to attach the mic/control onto clothing and a nice sized carrying case.
According to Kilpsch themselves, they have incredible functionality with their customized app, which I'll be looking into it over the next few weeks.
Anyone else been interested in these?

I wasn't even aware of them until now...and now I NEED them. I really have to stop visiting the accessories forum
A simple review would be nice after you've used them a little

Sure.
Just from toying around with them thus far I've come across a couple things that irritate me personally to do with the controls, but I might be able to find workarounds for these little hassles.

Hey guys also there is a klipsch app for these headphones so you can customize the button function

I got them from Futureshop up here in Canada for 120CAD.
Quick first impression:
I expected that you could only customize the three functions (single, double, and triple click) and speed of clicking. That's certainly the case. Their volume control is non-customizable and very finicky, and the speed to control the button timing isn't all too great either. Otherwise it does what it says it does, just not every function at once of course.
I won't go into their sound as there are hundreds of reviews of the S4's sound online, and the only difference with these to the usual S4 is the addition of a button.

the app works for me too no problems
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Old thread by now, but I'm thinking of picking these up for my S2.
I'm sure the sound and stuff is great from the sound of other online reviews, but what I'm worried about is the durability of the cord.
How has your cords been?
And if you could, give a little description of how you've been using them.
Thanks

Beats audio.

So did the beats audio files every really work on our phones?
I personally couldn't tell the difference, but it may be because I didn't put the files in the right spot because I placed them in the folders myself, not just flashed the .zip.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Beats audio is a built in equalizer which sounds like poop unless you can control it. That I think on phones its all software not hardware like on laptops. I have the DV6 from HP with beats and stock its terrible... had to adjust and even then it likes to dim when treble is too high and sounds stupid.

Its alright. although to get true beats experience you need full range beats audio headphones. they are pretty awesome if you ask me

You need beats in the kernel, and beats headphones to experience true beats audio.

You both know nothing about audio. Beats are only popular because they are well advertised and look cool. There are much better headphones and audio drivers. The epic does not even need this placebo crap because we have a wolfson audio chip.

Or better yet The older Skull Candy's reason why is the company who makes the speakers for them changed a afew years ago so now they don't sound as good as they used to.
But I really like Klipsch. I have their Pro Media 2.1 for Pc Has some good hard hitting bass.

Don't have them, but thought some of you may be interested. Personally, I thought the ones that came with my phone sounded pretty good. When I have bought some, though, I usually get skull candy.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA

I got some $20 skullcandy headphones on amazon that work great. I also have some vmoda ear plug type that I got back with my original iphone. I like the sound but when I put things in my ear they get itchy. I'm not an audiophile but since I am working on my masters in engineering I know a few people who do a lot with audio and they all say beats is a marketing gimmick. I've personally never put on a pair though.

Something we can agree on, this guy in my speech class said he had paid 400$ for them b/c of warranty and he says the sound amazing, and the bass is good I wanted to laugh so effing hard and state some damn facts of how ****ty they are regardless it his opinion but clearly he hasn't listen to some good damn headphones. I think in all honesty my damn 80$ Klipsch s4's sound better than that POS. The bass go outs in one ear in the beats, design is ****ty. Must I Go ON, with Build Quality.
Its all about the speaker drivers and architecture it uses. The amount of impedance it has, OHM's, etc...
There are two types of main speaker drivers and they are dynamic or something else I can't remember but its more like actual live sound the Klipsch x10 use them if I'm not mistaken

Are you trying to argue for the sake of being heard? I specified what they were equivalent in, they're both garbage. I even went on and gave more descriptive words to define their laughable "quality". Please read carefully or dispute with a bit more of intelligence, but please, do state if you're like 13, I don't find myself a point in arguing with children. Lol, I know you may be slightly butt-hurt / bitter because it was your money that was spent on skull candy's, I'm not hating on the Brand, just the quality sound it lacks to offer. I'd sell your skull candy's to some noob/sucker and invest on some CX 300's on Amazon, you'll want to marry me for recommending such an amazing affordable choice.

Bluetooth headsets...

I have had pretty much every version of Jawbone headset and I just lost my latest one. I am going to go pick up a new headset today and am just wondering if there is something better out there.
I have been stuck on Jawbone for so long that I need some advice on what else is good and takes advantage of the S3 features. What do you recommend?

It's more for music than just phone calls, but I really like the LG Tone headphones... http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phone-accessories/lg-HBS700-tone

I use it for work (though I am not that guy that wears it at all times and that is why I lose them). That one looks cool for the gym though.

I use this one for the same purpose: http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/voyager-pro
The only complaint I have is that it does not stream the media side of the SGS3.
It is basically for cellular use, which is all I need on the job.
You can get it on Amazon and other sites for considerably less money than what is quoted on this site.

There is a beats mod in the apps section

Dude.. do you not review products before you buy them?? Beats headphones are a pure marketing ploy. While thy have really good build quality, the sound they output is worth MUCH less than they retail for. We have Beats headphones at work and a few friends have some beats buds. I have a $100 pair of Sonys I bought 3 years ago that blow any of the Beats headphones out of the water.
Do your research. Unless you don't care about sound quality, you have much better alternatives out there.

To be honest you should really look into Klipsch brand buds they are honestly the best bang for the buck headphones i have ever purchased and they come with a 2 year warranty! Who does that?! I researched and tested many and they have the hands down best sound quality for under 100$ you can hear distintive tones and pitches simultaneously and hear high and lows while having some noise canceling ability.
have stuck to this brand for 3 years cauase they are awesome.

Bluetooth Keyboard Video Review

Hey guys, I have appreciated the video reviews posted here so I thought I would do one myself. This video review is for the New Trent Bluetooth Keyboard with touch pad. Here is a link to the video review

And here is a link to the product on Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-Mul...36&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=new+trent+ishuffle
My full written review is there as well. In short, its the best wireless keyboard I have used. Definitely worth the asking price of $55.
This is my first YouTube video, so there is much room for improvement. I plan on continuing to review various android hardware and accessories should you wish to subscribe. Let me know if you have ideas!
