Feel Your Music, Not Your Headphones With Klipsch® Custom Series
New three-model lineup offers complete immersion and complete comfort
INDIANAPOLIS (December 19, 2007) — Klipsch—the number one speaker brand in the United States and leader in professional cinema—is applying its 60-plus years of audio experience to a new line of premium headphones called the Custom Series.
Featuring unique proprietary technologies, the Custom 3, Custom 2 and Custom 1 models not only offer great comfort and sound, they also allow for a complete personalized fit.
“Klipsch has always been passionate about delivering the most accurate, dynamic and powerful listening experiences. And our Custom headphones continue that philosophy,” said Tom Gospel, Klipsch program management director. “They offer better noise isolation, reduce ear fatigue and deliver the highest audio performance so users can listen longer and better.”
All three of these headphones utilize patent-pending oval ear tips, which are anatomically designed to accurately fit inside the human ear canal. These soft, silicon tips reduce ear fatigue as well as provide an amazing seal for excellent noise isolation and bass response.
Because ear canal measurements vary, each Custom model comes with five different-sized ear tips: small, medium, and large single flange designs as well as small and large double flange designs. Such variety allows these headphones to fit more of the population than the competition.
For perfect exterior comfort, flexible ear wires bend over and around the ears so they can be formed to whatever fit is best for each user. It may take a few minutes to find the perfect fit, but once found, users will discover their time was well spent. Not only do these adaptable wires provide optimal comfort, they also let users experience full or partial noise isolation—a great safety feature for on-the-go users. It’s just a matter of pulling the ear gels out of the ear canals and adjusting the wires to firmly position the earphone nozzles over the canals.
Furthermore, Klipsch has gone to great lengths to ensure the long-lasting durability of Custom headphones, up to and including their 50-inch-long cables. The company has added appropriate strain relief at every cable connection point to avert wire damage. Plus, underneath the cable’s black cloth weaving, a special PVC Wireguard jacket prevents the wires from becoming exposed and frayed.
