Hot off the production line after the announcement of Klipsch’s new S4i headphones come two new models, the Klipsch S2 and S2m. The S2 in-ear headphone is Klipsch’s lowest- price headphone so far at £40 (its most expensive is £230) and includes a 5.8mm moving coil driver in each earpiece as well as three sizes of the company’s unique oval eartips for improved fit and comfort as well as isolation from outside noise.

The S2m version is designed for mobile phones with a 3.5mm headphone jack, particularly the iPhone, and includes a microphone and call answer button dangling from the cord. The button also doubles as a remote control offering play, pause and fast forward on various iPod models including the iPod classic, iPod nano 4th gen, iPod touch 2nd gen, iPod shuffle 3rd gen and iPhone 3G S.
Don Inmon, Klipsch’s director of personal audio marketing, said: “People have less discretionary income these days. Therefore, we felt it was necessary to develop reasonably priced, high-performance headphones that go above and beyond what you’d expect from the stock earbuds that come with your MP3 player".
Both the Klipsch S2 and S2m are available now for £40 and £60 respectively.
