“Rugged” is a single of those terms thrown around flattering loosely by a consumer electronics attention. So when Klipsch, a name that’s not just synonymous with husky men in a saddle, rolled out the imperishable chronicle of the S4i in-ear speakers under a Image S5i Rugged moniker, well, you only had to put them to a test. But initial you had to give these $129.99 ‘buds the attend… from a really loud floor of a Messe Berlin gathering core. Fortunately, a oval ear tips did an excellent of pursuit of isolating many outmost sounds, thus allowing us to listen to a rich reproduction of lows as well as mids with a conspicuous emphasis upon bass. Not a warn given the Image S5i headphones feature the same acoustic characteristics as the Image S4i and Image S4 headphones that came before them.

But what we really wanted to know was how that “moisture-resistant” (not waterproof) Apple-compatible three-button remote / mic would hold-up to a woe exam. Fortunately, the Image S5i Rugged managed to keep the music playing and underneath carryout even after a inexhaustible bath of bottled water. Rugged and grand? Looks like iPod, iPhone, as well as iPad owners only done a new crony.
