Klipsch Image S5i Rugged

Pros: Stellar sound quality, clean and clear at all volume levels, tight bass and not muddy, easy to use remote especially if you use gloves, durable, sweat resistant and strong, practical caring case. Earbuds fit perfectly and do not fall out.

Cons: Many people expect little or no cable noise but you gotta understand physics...jam your fingers in your ear and jump around...you'll hear your feet thudding down, your ear canal is sensitive to vibrations...no brainer. Buy other then noise-isolating!

Summary: I work in an office and the noise of clucking hens (I don't literally mean chickens) are around and can be loud, well, if I turn the tunes up and snap my fingers next to my ear I cannot hear the snapping or the "hens" AT ALL...perfect! My ears are not hurting with hours of use, the earbuds stay put, awesome sound, highly recommended. I have an alergy to metal and these earbuds are rubber/plastic and well built so I have no issue with any alergic reactions to them, many of the other earbuds out there are metal casing and do cause problems for me like the Skullcandy Titaniums...good earbds but they hurt from the size and the metal did a number on my ears. I decided to shop around for over 6 months to locate the right investment of earbuds because I like the noise isolation and these puppies deliver. The price is warranted if you compare to the other choices out there for ruggedness, sound and performance so I can say I am fully satisfied with my purchase and if your like me then you'll be happy. One recommendation is if you use an iPOD then I recommend you turn the EQ to FLAT, if you mess around with the EQ then the sound quality may not be so good because these earbuds are designed for true sound and not manufactured...which is all you need...something that you don't need to screw around with for a good sound.
