Has anyone tried Klipsch Image S4i? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I dropped by one of the electronics store randomly and found a Klipsch Image S4i.
It's basically the S4 with a built-in mic but its made specific for the iPhone. I really want it but I'm not sure whether the mic will work on the X10 or not cuz I've heard complaints about other earphones not working as well. Any of you guys ever tried it? The S4 is one of the best in-ears you could find at that price range so I think if it works fine on the X10, it's worth the money
Here's a link to the product page: http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/products/image-s4i-overview/
Oh, and I think the white S4 should match a white X10 perfectly, although I have a black one

hey i had s4i for my iphone 3gs and sold the 3gs and bought x10 so the ones with mic doesnt work with x10 no headphones with mic works with x10 i tried them all u name it. so i changed it with s4 wow amazing sound quality . i had many choices but i went for s4 and really happy with it and for the money u get best earphones and im sure ull be happy with it. and also check NuForce NE-7M i heard they r really good too but havnt tried them yet also MEElectronics M11P these 3 earbuds are amazing id still go for s4

I got a headset with my phone and the mic works on them.
The sound quality isn't too great, though. And no, I don't mean during a call, I'm talking about the clarity with music.

hmm, i guess I'll get the S4 instead. I emailed Klipsch about the problem with the S4i but they never got back to me. I was looking for a headset that has a mic to use along with the X10 but I guess none of them work...for now at least. It might be software fixable. Anyway, thanks for the replies, I appreciate them

@ bourbon brian . And what headphones are they?

I'm pretty sure the iphone doesn't use the sleeve of the TRRS plug for the ground like the x10 and most standard electronics. It uses the second ring so you have to buy their accessories.
This means that iphone cables and headsets won't work, but headsets that don't work with the iphone probably will.
Does this make sense? Search for TRRS plug for more info.

[Q] Fluctuating/Auto volume issue

Since there's no Q&A forum for this phone (yet), I'll try in here.
I've noticed this morning, when listening to my music through my earphones, that the volume tends to subtly fluctuate - perhaps slightly reducing the volume on the louder parts of songs.
I don't like this (it's not even at max volume either) - is there a way to stop it? I've looked in the music player's settings and also the sound settings for the phone itself, but no luck.
This is my first Samsung Andrdoid so if I'm missing something common to these, feel free to hit me with the noob stick
You've got the SGS II already?
You are probably in the wrong forum, mate.
Nope, he is not.
Some lucky dawgs got it through P4U.
I got it yesterday afternoon from Phones4U, although I think I've sorted this problem out now. I think it was related to the bass enhancement setting, because I disabled that and it's not doing it anymore (or it's no longer noticeable).

Big question how do you find the sound quality what headphones are you using? Thanks
Swyped from my Desire HD using XDA App
I'm using Soundmagic PL30's and the sound is great, although I did notice a bit of crappines when I had the bass enhancement on and turned it right up. Now I have it on Auto/Rock EQ with no effects - perfect for my needs.
I've yet to test the phone's speaker.
I don't have the phone and only played with android briefly before, but in theory, what you are describing is known as "normalizing", where the device tries to make the songs sound as even as possible. This results in capped louder parts and sometimes increased quieter parts. Is there any option like this in the equalizer?
May I say... Congratulation and I HATE YOU... J.K...
Post up some more details of what you DISLIKE of it so far

Actually PL30 are slightly bass heavy themselves and at best average if sgs2 sound is even somewhat like sgs. If u really want something better without breaking bank get brainwavz M1 or nuforce ne6 if you prefer boomier bass. This phone does deserve more than PL30.
PL30 respond very badly to presets on SGS1 as well.
Magically posted from thin air!
Aw, I only bought these a couple of weeks ago!
I'll bear your recommendations in mind though, thanks.
Actually, the earphones that came with it look better (not the awful standard things you usually get). I probably won't open them though.
Edit: no normalization option, Deathangel. It sounds ok now anyway

Really? The Yamaha DAC that was included can actually best the Wolfson 8994? I've been torn between the SGSII and the Sensation for quite a while now. This tips the scales in the GSII's favor.
P.S.- How does it compare to an SGS with the Supercurio Voodoo mod?
It's very close mate. I haven't done a proper comparison between them but I get a full range from Bass, mid and treble using PowerAMP to listen to music with the SGS II. I'd say it maybe slightly better than the SGS with Voodoo if I had to chose.

I'm not Hemorrhoidsnet, I just found this video on a Dutch blogging site.
This seems the best thread to ask...
I'm looking for the best earbuds I can get for £30 or less (preferably less of course) for the highest quality listening. I'm hoping to use the SGSII in place of my iTouch since it can play FLAC natively!
Any help/suggestions is greatly appreciated!

what is a good Android compatible earphone?

I recently lost my Klipsch S4, I was thinking about getting the S4a, but the review said that it would only work with certain music app.
I there a high quality earphone on that market that has handsfree function with good compatibility with the android system?
Looking for one too. I have to give my girlfriend's earphone back.
Best function you'll get from s4a. A-Jays 4 work with their android app installed, and sure have a separately sold adapter if you must pick calls.

I bought THESE for my wife as an Xmass gift. They're called Woodees . Had to borrow them cause I lost mine. Now I want a set, the sound is outstanding. Price is resonable considering the sound quality. Only downside is, I've heard they're not compatable with all devices.
Woodees are great, but yeah they're picky on android, and abit wide so not for small ears

S3 Audio Quality

Hey all!
Just wanted to share my opinion ...
I personally think after using S3 for about a Week now, that S3's Audio Quality "is far superior in Comparison to an iPhone or hTc Beats".
I've used these both.
Does someone else thinks the same, or is it my Love for S3 which makes me believe this ???

As per other SGS3 audio posts try reading them many say not loud enough .
Personally i will not disagree with your viewpoint .

I love the quality but don't think it goes loud enough; its noticeably more quiet than my S2.

You could give franco's kernel a try, he has boosted the volume significantly and it sounds great without impacting the audio quality.
Highly recommend it, and the bonus of better battery life too

Like I've said before, listen to a Nokia N95 speaker or headphones and you'll realise how poor S3 really is.

Yeah I have heard plenty SE and a few Motorola phones that put shame to Samsung phones.

Moved to a Nexus 4, but I'm keeping my Atrix

After the fustercluck that Motorola gave us, I decided to never again be at the end of the software update curve.
I love my Nexus 4. But, damn it, the sound sucks. I use V-Moda LP2s and it's like a 5/6 out of 10. The Atrix (with CM7.2) has louder sound, better dynamic range, and the bass is full on better! I actually realized that the Atrix is hands down the best media player I've had in a long time.
So I'm keeping it. As much as I hated to use it as a daily driver, it will serve its purpose as my music player. That is until CM10.1 is released for the Mako (Nexus 4) and I am hoping it at the very least reproduces the same sound quality as the Atrix.
Makes me wonder what the sound ship is on the Nexus 4, and on the Atrix and how they compare to each other. Anyone have any ideas?
Our Atrix has a WM9803L DAC chipset, a Wolfson model which is the same in some other nVidia T2 AP20H SoC whereas the Nexus 4 uses Qualcomm's own WCD9310 DAC chipset, also included in other S4 Pro SoC (e.g. in SGS3's US version).
I hope that it'll help you on your research.
Thanks, I appreciate that a lot.
Moved to the Nexus a while back and came around here to see what was up. Seems pretty dead.
>-Sent From Something That's From Somewhere-<
You mean internal DSPs on each phone? Nexus' speaker always used to suck but I heard nothing wrong about speakers.
Following u Soon!!
I moved forward to the SGSII a while back, but I'm still a proud Atrix owner.
Most phones I eventually sell, but my Atrix is definitely a backup keeper...

Do you mean through the speakers or the headphone jack?
I've moved across to the Lumia 920 (and love it) but the sound quality out of the Atrix does beat it, especially when connecting a headphone into the headphone jack. The speaker loudness are similar but the Atrix does sound better still. I'll too be using it to sit in my car as a music device.
I was going to get on a Nexus 4 but I don't want to support Google after the Atrix debacle. SG2 gets JB, while we're stuck on Gingerbread even though Google owns Motorola. What a joke. WP8 is much nicer to use anyway.

Didn't notice I was clear. Definitely the headphone jack. Audio is just so much better, and CM7.2 just adds that extra serving of bass and dynamic range (via the DSP) that puts the audio far into the lead.
On Stock, the Atrix ties with the iPhone 4S, but the DSP on CM7.2 is fab! Hoping to recreate this experience with other devices, but from the looks of it, the Snapdragon Pro 4 Audio Chip sucks. And this chip is on a lot of new phones, it's on that new Sony Xperia Z too.
i've always had nokia phones so the atrix was my first foray into android. i do have to say paired up with my sony mdr7506, the atrix is a pretty damn good media player, probably besting every nokia i've had.
I've enjoyed *most* of my timeline with this Atrix, except of course for the face slap Motorola gave it & stopped updates waaayyy too early. And my next potential phone is probably the N4.
Right now though I'm waiting in hopes the XDA developers manage success in building a stable Olympus ICS/JB kernel for the Atrix. If they succeed that'll probably keep me in Atrix heaven for quite a while longer
Atrix love
I really loved my Atrix HW wise, SW wise... not so much. Thank god for rooting and custom kernels!
BTW, a friend got the Atrix 2 a while back, and he swapped it for an Atrix 4G.

Sorry for the late reply. I have since moved on to a Note 3 N9005, but the audio on the Motorola Atrix running CM7.2 is still #1 for me. NONE of the CM10.1 releases replicates the audio quality of the CM7.2 release. I don't know why, but that's it in my experience. I think Ill buy another Atrix as a backup media device / phone when it really comes down in price.

Upgrade options?

Hi guys. First of all I'd like to apologise if I've posted in the wrong section. This section seemed more relevant to me.
I currently have a xperia s. My upgrade is due next week. I want to ask what is the best phone now? I wanna go to the Z2 but I'm double minded. Has the z2 been upgraded to kitkat? What you guys think?

I've had it for 3 days and so far 3 complaints.
1. front camera is really bad in low light (except when you use the camera app) in for example snapchat.
2. A lot of noise when i record (although it might be i was holding on the mic)
3. My phone looks too good so others get jelous. And I feel sorry for them for having so small phones (iPhone).
My few issues are double tap screen on barely works for me.
For me using my bose earphones the music is not loud enough for me its about 2 notches too low.
Earpiece quality could be a lil better, but its ok.

I got my Z2 yesterday and so far I haven't seen many problems at all, awesome battery life, I haven't seen a better rear camera aside from the reported overheating recording 4k and hd which I haven't seen, but I haven't recorded much. I came from the Galaxy S3 and it's a huge improvement. Upto now I have no regrets about my upgrade.
If you want my opinion.. It's perfect ? phone.. The only problem I had is the heat in the camera when recording 4K videos which I believ. It's software issue and can be solved in the next updates.

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
For the current 2014 models, Z2 for me is the best choice. S5 could have been good except the design is almost the same as my S2 which is good 3 yrs ago but sooo dated for 2014. S4 looked better for me. M8 is almost good except for the camera and the software support. HTC is still not doing well so I have little confidence with the company as of now.
The only phone that is better than Z2 will be the upcoming S5 Prime, M8 Prime and G3. If S5 Prime was launched instead of the normal S5, I might have bought the S5 Prime.
The only con I have with Z2 is the voice quality sounds like mono. The voice is loud and clear but the voice doesn't sound natural.

good choice, this is my first xperia phone and im really liking it, i do have a few small issues tho (nothing that makes me want another phone tho)
1) rooting....... only an issue coz my previous android phones have been samsungs, it's all different over at sony, when i first checked about rooting i was like why is there no recovery installed, wtf is a bootloader,
2) speakers volume...... they just seem too quiet, ive missed a few texts when my phones been in my pocket and i just havent heard it, not loud enough when playing music... having said that, they do sound good, cant fault the sound quality just the volume.
3) sometimes the tap to wake function takes a few tries before it wakes
4) bloody homescreen doesnt know what landscape is without the help of magnet
5) glass back........ ive dropped it a few times already, n everytime after a huge sigh of relief i realize i should peel the case off and hope the backs fine too grrrrr
6)............ nah can't think of another 1, except maybe that i can connect my ps4 controller to it, but i cant use it for remote play like a vita, that sucks lol, actually im gonna email sony n tell them they need to make this possible
Finally got my z2 so far loving it
