Review: 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 Mark Krywko, a 30-year...

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

Spare ports and tips could go missing pretty easily

Sleek Audio SA6 earphones review: Sleek Audio SA6 earphones

Sleek Audio SA6 earphones

The Sleek Audio SA6 in-ear headphones offer rich detail in the low frequency range and a unique modular design that lets users tune the character of the sound quality to suit their tastes.

The modular design of the Sleek Audio SA6 means there are a lot of little parts to lose. For the price, we were hoping for better high-frequency clarity.

The Sleek Audio SA6 earphones deliver above-average sound quality and an unprecedented modular design, but there are better earphones available in this price range.

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...
