I did mention previously that the s4 are cheaper than the beats/x10. However, I decided to compare them because they were said to be almost as good for bass and better for mids/highs, which they are definitely not. For the x10s, I own a pair for over 2 years and am very pleased with the build quality and sound, which led me to believe that the s4i could possibly be better than the beats (for mids/highs). Sadly again, they are not.

There are a couple of under $100 (some even with apple remote/mic) earphones which sound great so its not surprising at all that the s4 do. Its good that you got a deal on the s4, at that price, they are well worth it (just like my $40 ex76) but at ~$120+ for the remote version, sorry, there are better options like the scorches.

Guess its all comes down to personal preference, after leaving them on for another 10+ hrs, the bass and mids still splatter all over the place when pushed.
