"Wrong headphones?" on by e_verybody
Pros: Not a review. See below.
Cons: Not a review. See below.
Summary: @ timosullivan: These headphones do not cost $300. If you bought a different set that do, your experience doesn't really say a lot about this product.

"Absolute garbage" on by nscull13
Pros: Sound is ok if you listen to base-heavy music. iPod control can be useful.
Cons: Base heavy, flimsy and will most likely die within 1 year.
Summary: I don't know why Cnet keeps giving these headphones such high reviews. I can only suspect that they don't use them long enough to learn that they will likely fall apart within 1 year. I have had 2 pairs and all have broken within 1 year. Klipsch replaced the first pair that broke but would not replace the second set after the left channel died 6 months later. I would strongly urge everyone to avoid these. They are not made well and will surely break within a year. I wish Cnet would use their products longer so their reviews will be more accurate.

"Best $99 I ever spent!" on by fenster209
Pros: Best sounding headphones I've ever owned and the control features are great.
Cons: There are none.
Summary: I've had S4 for about 2 years and they sounded awesome! I decided to upgrade to the S4A to control my Droid Bionic and worth every penny! They sound just as amazing and the control on my Bionic rocks. I really like the 1-button mic.

"Great headphones, as long as you don't use the controls" on by maxmuscle
Pros: Excellent sounding headphones for the price. Great for bass heavy music. 2 year warranty!
Cons: No dedicated volume buttons!!!
Only one button control functionality is unnecessarily complicated. Why?!
Questionable durability, based on previous experience with s4i'sSummary: I'm going to start with the negative because this is a big negative. Why isn't there dedicated volume up and down buttons on the remote?!
Reducing button clutter is okay, but at the cost of functionality it's not. You can customize what the button does to a certain extent but it's so complicated getting the button to do what you want.(long press function can only be used for volume?) You can only increase volume! To get to a lower volume you have to click through the volume selections higher and higher until you get back to the lower starting point.
I would have not bought these if I knew how crappy the single button remote function was going to be.
I love the sound quality of these headphones for the money. Sounds reproduced accurately and clearly, with great bass response if you like music with a lot of bass in it.
Sound quality is awesome, but the headphones are just frustrating and not worth the hassle because of the remote. -
"CNET reviewer doesn't get out much" on by Ed Moose
Pros: comfort, weight
Cons: bass is pathetic, durability is atrocious, overpriced
Summary: These are junk with a quality one might equate with a set of drugstore earphones. Not sure what CNET's reviewer was smoking when they issued an editor's choice for these turds, but she clearly doesn't get out much. I've heard worse, but not nearly with a product this overpriced. Bought these because I've owned Klipsch loudspeakers and wanted to like them. Boy, was I disappointed.
