Hot Deal [Woot] Klipsch Image S4i In-Ear Headphones with Advanced In-Line 3-Button Mic & Remote - $40

http://tech.woot.com/offers/klipsch-image-s4i-in-ear-headphones

These ear-buds are absolutely phenomenal and a STEAL at $40. Great bass, good sound overall. They fit in my ears which was a first for every ear-bud I ever tried. I use them when doing yard work, running & working out.

They're pretty sturdy. I did wear out the first pair I had within their warranty period (1 year) and they replaced them no problem. Two years later, I wore out the second pair, but they've changed the engineering on the cord connection at the ear-bud joint, which is were the first two pairs wore out.

I also use them to make phone calls on my iPhones. People usually have no issues hearing me.

The controller integrates with all of the apps I use it for- Pandora, Downcast (for podcasts) the built-in iOS Music app and phone calls. Double-tap the big button for the next song, triple-tap for previous. No issues with iOS 7 either.

I highly recommend these. I honestly can't say that I've tried other high-end ear-buds...but once I tried these I had no need to. Even though I'm set with my current pair I'm considering buying a second as a spare. They're that good.

 

Did you check the warranty for coverage of the Sammy Earbuds?
