Favorite Review of the Day
I love my job!
If i need a pat on the back now days all I have to do is go to Apple or Amazon's websites or Google and find a review about S4i.
Here is one from a customer with some savvy for sound...
Beautifully Balanced Sound ............... Written by HE from San Jose
Sep 17, 2009
I just picked up a pair of S4i headphones at the Los Gatos Apple Store after reading the reviews here and on other sites. I put them on just outside the store, and at first was not happy with the sound. I almost took them back. I decided to fiddle with them, I'm glad I did. Once seated properly in the ear they came to life. They sounded pretty good, but at this point not as rich as my Bose in-ear phones. I decided to take them home and try the different ear pieces. Once I found the right size ear piece for my ears the sound REALLY came to life. These phone outclassed my Bose, Sennhieser, and Sony phones in a noticeable way.
Once dialed in the sound is very well balanced with enough sizzle at the high end to make cymbals convincingly real without fatiguing the listener. Mids have more presence than all my other phones including my HD-650's. I was transported back to the 70s when I heard my first pair of Klipsch Ls Scalas, one of the most memorable musical experiences of my life. Ella was singing and the sound was so clear, I swore I could hear the fabric in her clothing as she moved about the stage on a live recording. When seated properly these inexpensive audiophile quality phones had a similar effect. I was hearing things in the music that I hadn't heard before. Bass is also nicely defined with great reach into the lower frequencies without being muddy or artificial. To those who made negative comments I would advise you to give them a second try with the right ear-pieces attached. I was this >< close to returning them, I'm so glad I didn't. Comfort is high and getting to phones to seat in the ear canal is very easy. The remote works as advertised with my iPod Touch 3rd Generation. Buy these phones they are worth every penny.
