Sporting tough, ruggedized rubber moldings on the exposed surface of each ear bud, the all-weather Image S4i Rugged works to resist moisture to ensure full functionality no matter the conditions. Offering an extra-large three-button remote, the headphone grants Apple iPhone users seamless call and music control during activity. Located on the back of the remote is a directional mic for hands-free calls. Perhaps the most vibrant Image headphone model to date, the Image S4i Rugged is available in a yellow, orange, blue or red finish.

Boasting the patented oval ear tips for which Klipsch is known, the Image S4i Rugged allows for hours of comfortable, long-term wear. Unlike circular-shaped ear tips that put stress on the pressure points inside the ear, Klipsch's patented oval ear tips naturally fit the contours of the ear canal, providing comfortable long-term wear. These ear tips also offer noise isolation (or passive noise-cancellation), reportedly blocking out almost all ambient noise and providing excellent bass.

Offering the same award-winning acoustics as the Image S4, the Image S4i Rugged is equipped with an 8.5mm dual magnet micro-speaker. This audio technology covers a wide frequency range while delivering dynamic detail.

The Image S4i Rugged's audio works with virtually any device that has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack; however, the mic and three-button remote support select Apple products.

Included with purchase are four different-sized oval ear tips, a nylon zipper case, clothing clip and two-year warranty. The Image S4i Rugged retails for $99.99 and is available at authorized retailers and http://www.klipsch.com.
