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
Hi, I dropped my bag a few weeks ago and my stock earphones got crushed, which is a shame because I really liked the quality of them.
I purchased some "replacement" ones off of Amazon, but the quality was terrible with a horrible echo about them.
Does anyone know where I can get the real deal stock earphones from samsung? Or can recommend some decent earphones with nice audio quality.
Thanks.
Samsung store, there I got mine. Maybe also Samsung online store?

Hi all,
I just would like some advice. The original headset that came with the phone is good but doesn't last long. Anyone has another good headset that works with s3 that has the same functions of the original.

Maybe a stereo bluetooth earbuds meet your need, but the music time is also 3-4 hours.
All the mini bluetooth headset for phone working time is 3 hours or less. :angel::angel:

Hello! I'm searching for Bluetooth Speakers for my Nexus. I don't want some little speakers I can carry around with me, I want some big speakers at in my room. Any recommendations ?

I can't post links yet, but the TDK V513 Wireless Sound Cube is the best speaker I own. And I own many, I have a problem with buying too many speakers.
For real though, at $100 it's a steal for the quality sound and power it puts out. I guarantee you'll love it.

Best money I ever spent. Not a boom box, but pretty decent, especially for the money. Would buy again. Works great.

I have had my eye on the Sony. Can't remember the model number - but their high-end one is 40 watts.
I have a yamaha thr-10 that will knock your socks off for its size. But do have to plug in. May shop for a bluetooth receiver for it. It is also a mean guitar amp.

I have the Logitech Z600 and they work great with my laptop, phone and tablet. If you pause one and play the other, it immediately switches so I only need one set for three devices.
They sounds pretty good. There are probably some better sounding ones out there but not with the functionality that the z600s have.
I recommend.
Samsung DA-E570 looks like a solid contender in that price range.
That, or try to find a used B&W Zeppelin Air. Simply amazing product.

The new G-Boom should be a good loud speaker. The reviews are great on it.
I'll never understand why people are willing to blow so much money for basically no reason. Get a bluetooth adapter like the HTC Stereoclip (yes it works) or any number of a bazillion others and hook them up to your basic existing system.
OR, don't use bluetooth, because it's barely FM quality on a good day, doesn't have enough range to go outside of a single room, and most importantly: it is NOT worthy of some $100+ speakers. It blows my mind why people are willing to throw away that much cash for something a $20 pair of computer speakers from the 90's were capable of doing, all because it has some fancy plastic case on top of it. (Lookin' at you, Jambox)

Bluetooth ones will more than likely have all controls (volume and answer buttons) working. I strongly recommend the Apple Earpods though if you care about the microphone. I have tried many highly praised wired/BT headsets and none of them have usable mics on the N5.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/CredDeal-X-Series-Foldable-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B00CQ2W20Q
Currently using these Bluetooth 4.0 Headphones with volume adjust buttons, mic, and a power button. Relatively simple. One piece of wire that connects the two pair of headphones and a small battery in the two earbuds that can play about 4-5 hours of music streaming over Bluetooth. I usually work out with these, so I had to get a pair of Bluetooth headphones that are light! So I can testify to their quality! Sound is solid as well, the sound is fairly close to my Klipsch S4 (II) earbuds. Headphones? Meh, I never buy bluetooth for those haha.
I couldn't find the US link to them, but I figured this should be a good lead. :victory:

I found the link for the US a while back, it was pretty recent when I say a while back. Maybe a month at best? So, I hope you find the link, I tried to search for the U.S link briefly, but they are definitely worth the buy.

These headphones are better sound quality and cheaper. They also come with 3 button controls. This is a way better buy then spending on 60 monsters. I'm an audiophile and use this for the gym and to beat up. My regular studio headphones are vmoda m100s if that helps you identify my music quality.

Yeah man I was surprised by them when I got them. I found them on eBay and I tuned them in viper4android and I was blown away. Really good headphones for beaters.

Yeah, I'm not an "audiophile" (I really, REALLY hate that word) but I am an audio enthusiast (been in the audio industry for 15+ years), and I gotta recommend staying away from anything Monster or Beats branded. You are paying 10% for the headphone, 90% for the brand, and they generally sound like crap.
You want good buds for a good price, go with Yuin. IEMs- Shure or Westone. Cans- Sony, Beyerdynamic, higher end Sennheiser (their low end is crap), Grado, some AKG, HiFiMan, certain V-Modas. Portable supra aurals- Ultrasone has some good ones and the Koss Porta Pro's are pretty much unparalleled for their price and I'm pretty sure that they have ones with mics and controls now.
Bottom line, if they are mainstream and all your friends say to buy them, don't. The best values can be found in brands that don't spend millions on advertising.
