All three headphones in the range come with patent-pending Contour Ear Gels, which are anatomically designed to accurately fit inside the human ear canal. These soft, oval silicon tips reduce ear fatigue as well as providing “an amazing seal for excellent noise isolation and bass response”. Tom Gospel, Klipsch program management director, said that because ear canal measurements vary, each Custom model comes with five different-sized ear gels: 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,” he said. The company also hailed the durability of its headphones, including their cables. With cables able to stretch to 1.27m/50in-long, Klipsch has added strain relief at every cable connection point to avert wire damage. A special PVC wireguard jacket hidden underneath the cable’s black cloth weaving also prevents the wires from becoming exposed and frayed. (Continued on next page)
