Sleek Audio SA6 In-Ear Monitor Earphones SlashGear Review

 

If you read our interview article with the Sleek Audio founders last week, you'll know that we're excited about the upcoming wireless system based on Kleer's lossless technology. At the root of it all, though, are the SA6 earphones, promising...

We’re waiting for the first wireless adapters to ship so that we can try them out with the SA6′s; given the quality of sound reproduction I’m now used to, they’ll have a lot to live up to.

Bulky plastic case ; Tiny parts are easy to lose

Finicky listeners unsatisfied with digital equalizers may find the Sleek Audio SA6 refreshing; the two can even be used in tandem for endless tweaking. Given their very good noise isolation, customizable sound, and compact size, these headphones are a...

How to Buy the Right Headphones

 

Sleek Audio's Web site is peppered with reminders that it makes no sense to listen to your expensive MP3 player through a "$5 pair of earbuds." I couldn't agree more, and, at $249.99 list, the SA6 from Sleek Audio is certainly an upgrade! Sleek Audio,...

Terrific audio quality. Even bass. Sufficiently bright. Comfortable earpieces block outside noise.

Treble- and bass-boost options are either ineffective or harsh.

The SA6 fits well and sounds really good, but its treble and bass adjustments are a bit unnecessary.

Sleek Audio SA6 In-Ear Headphones

 

Eschewing the one-sound-fits-all headphone paradigm, personal audio newcomer Sleek Audio sets the mark for sound customization and modular design. Created by

Amazing, tunable sound. Wonderfully comfortable fit from the tapered flange ear tips. Hang down or over-the ear cord routing. $25 replacement cords now, and colored cords on the way

Spare ports and tips could go missing pretty easily

Listen to your music with style and luxury

Extremely good audio quality. Tone of audio can be adjusted using modular system. Highly customizable

A little too modular which could result in parts getting lost

Late last year I was introduced to Sleek Audio, and among their earphones' features, I was impressed by their unique method of insuring a customized listening experience through the utilization of removable and interchangeable in-ear ports – even on...

Review: Sleek Audio SA6 Wireless Headphones With Kleer Wireless Technology

 

Confession time.  I am a sucker for headphones.  I absolutely love testing new headphones, and discovering the subtle and innovative techniques the manufacturers use to set each pair of headphones apart from the others.  Discovering the unique voice...

I am sure that Sleek Audio will not mind when I say I have found the Holy Grail in these headphones – wireless headphones which offer the same connection and sound quality as wired headphones. I could tell almost no difference in the quality of the...

Sleek Audio SA6 Earphone

 

This has been, by far, the most difficult Earphone review for me to write. The difficulty is due to the complexity and the "coolness" of this particular product - the Sleek SA6. Imagine being able to custom tune your earphones. Too much treble? You can...

Jason, From Sleek Audio, has informed me that they are working on a "wireless" solution for the SA6- imagine this kind of quality and Bluetooth Streaming Stereo into these tiny marvels - that is very exciting and we will be watching out for news on...

Review: Sleek Audio SA6 In-Ear Earphones with Tunable VQ Technology

 

Ninety-nine percent of earphones are designed to sound a specific way when placed in your ears: some are really bass-heavy, others are "flat" and neutral, and still others are tweaked to exaggerate both bass and treble. The pair that sounds really good...

A pair of substantially user-customizable earphones, complete with three sets of bass ports, four sets of treble tips, three double flange ear molds, and detachable cables that can be used to change how the earphones fit, rest on your ears, and sound....

Tweaks to treble and bass are generally small, rather than pronounced, and audio drivers don't rival the best-sounding $200 earphones we've tested. Small pieces can easily be lost

While the high price tag and potentially easy to lose parts might normally merit a lower overall rating, the unique kit-like design of the SA6 makes this a product worthy of our general recommendation. Like the Heathkit build-it-yourself gadgets of...
