Gentec International, the Canadian distributor of Klipsch speakers and headphones, announces the launch of the Reference R6, R6i, and R6m in-ear headphones. Incorporating more than 60 years of audio expertise, Klipsch’s latest offering delivers acclaimed acoustics coupled with unrivalled comfort. With the introduction of these headphone models, Klipsch takes an important step in streamlining its entire product offering under the Reference name.
The same advanced acoustic engineering and industrial design from the brand’s legendary Reference home theatre speakers provide the performance and design for the new R6 models. Constructed from aluminum and elastomer, their sleek construction is lightweight, durable, and comfortable. Additionally, the headphones utilize flat cabling for added strength and tangle resistance.
Equipped with the patented oval ear tips for which Klipsch is known, each model allows for hours of comfortable, long-term wear. Unlike circular-shaped ear tips that put stress on the pressure points inside the ear, Klipsch’s patented oval ear tips naturally fit the contours of the ear canal. These ear tips also offer superior noise-isolation (or passive noise-cancellation), blocking out almost all ambient noise and providing excellent bass.
Each model delivers Klipsch’s signature sound (high efficiency, low distortion, wide dynamic range) via a 6.5-millimeter dual magnet micro-speaker. This technology provides a broad frequency range and acoustic detail for the most strikingly realistic sound reproduction of music libraries.
