	What's hot this week Jasmine France Senior Associate Editor, CNET.com The awesomely excellent Klipsch Image S4 There's nothing like good, old competition to keep tech prices in check. Case in point: earphones. The headphone market is heavily saturated, and we can all thank that fact for the existence of many worthy-earbud contenders in the sub-$100 price range. Still, despite having come across plenty of decent earbuds with reasonable pricing, nothing prepared me for the Klipsch Image S4. These supercomfy noise-isolating earphones offer shockingly stellar sound quality--certainly much better than their $80 price tag suggests. If you've been on the market for a headphone replacement for your MP3 player, look no further.
