LAS VEGAS, NEVADA—JANUARY 6, 2026—At CES 2026, Klipsch hosts an invitation-only first look at the ideas shaping the brand’s new frontier of premium audio. This private showcase offers media and partners an insider’s perspective on early-stage product visions with concepts spanning personal audio, Bluetooth and tabletop listening, outdoor-capable home theater, and premium hi-fi loudspeakers. While not all of these concepts are final production announcements, these previews reflect the design language, engineering direction, and listening experiences Klipsch intends to bring to market over the next several months.

“At Klipsch, the future is built on a very specific promise: make every moment sound more alive,” said Vinny Bonacorsi, Chief Operating Officer. “CES gives us a rare opportunity to share where we’re headed before the curtain goes up, and to do it in a way that was intimate, experimental, and true to the enthusiasts who’ve always pushed us forward.”

Headphones

In a highly anticipated return to the headphone market, the preview leads with the Klipsch Atlas Series, a new premium family of hi-fi headphones that is the brand’s next step beyond its former Heritage Headphone series. The Atlas lineup comprises three distinct models, each tailored to a different listening profile, and each rooted in Klipsch’s legacy voicing while meeting modern expectations for comfort, performance, and feature integration. Expected to be available in the US in Summer 2026.

• Atlas HP-1, a wireless an over-ear, active noise-canceling design is intended for travel and daily listening, prioritizing ultra-light weight, long-term wearability, and standout battery life. The concept is built around its coaxial driver approach to preserve Klipsch’s efficiency and signature sound, with a planned third-party feature compatibility for spatial audio and hearing compensation.
• Atlas HP-2, a closed-back hi-fi option tuned for class-leading bass response and immersive low-end impact, aimed squarely at a bass-forward enthusiast segment that desires visceral energy without sacrificing refinement.

• Atlas HP-3, sits atop the range, with a semi-open-back premium design for critical two-channel listening, that delivers a spacious, speaker-like presentation for audiophiles. Comfort and luxury are central to HP-3, which features a wider, cushioned headband for better weight distribution, Alcantara materials, perforated earcups for breathability during long sessions, and an elevated packaging concept that includes a dedicated headphone stand.

Portable Bluetooth Speakers

The preview also includes Klipsch’s next-generation of Music City Series II Bluetooth speakers, expanding the lineup to introduce Auracast broadcast audio connectivity, enabling a single source device to stream to multiple compatible speakers and simplifying shared listening without traditional pairing limits. Auracast also supports easy multi-speaker synchronization in both public and home settings, aligning the Music City models with the way people naturally listen together.

Alongside this connectivity evolution, Klipsch previews a new Music City design identity with a focus on portability and real-life placement flexibility, including redesigned carrying straps for effortless grab-and-go use and integrated magnets that allow speakers to be attached to surfaces or gear wherever music is happening. Expected to be available in the US in Summer 2026.

Tabletop Bluetooth Speakers

The tabletop speaker category advanced as well, with previews for The One IV and The Three IV bringing Auracast connectivity into Klipsch’s iconic home listening form factor. The updated The Three IV concept adds a distinctive front-mounted coin interface designed to display album art, track details, volume, input selection, and more, blending tactile control with a clear visual pulse of what was playing now. Together with the Music City Series II concepts, these tabletop previews point to a more seamless, multi-room, multi-listener Klipsch ecosystem. Expected to be available in the US in Summer 2026.

Outdoor Sound Bar

For outdoor entertainment, Klipsch offers a concept preview of the Flexus Element sound bar, the next evolution of Flexus sound bars powered by Onkyo home-theater technology. The Flexus Element concept is designed to elevate performance while enabling all-weather installations, bringing cinematic Klipsch sound to patios, garages, and outdoor entertainment zones without complicated setup. The Flexus Element sound bar is expected to debut in the US in Fall of 2026.

Premium Hi-Fi and Home Theater Loudspeakers

Rounding out the first-look experience is a preview of Klipsch’s next-generation home theater and premium hi-fi speaker concepts. Attendees have the opportunity to see early design direction for the next iteration of the iconic Reference Premiere lineup, alongside a bold expansion into premium hi-fi categories through two new concept families: the Reference Signature Series and what is being referred to as Project Apollo – the brand’s next moonshot to dig its roots deeper into the world of high-performance audio.

Both lines spotlight an elevated industrial design, upgraded materials, and new engineering based on Klipsch’s horn-loaded legacy architecture, tuned specifically for audiophiles and enthusiast listening. Select models from these series targeted for debut later in 2026.
