What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision and FIVEFWD tag Sleek Audio’s Kleer wireless earphones as the best available for the serious music listener
Palmetto, Fl. September 16, 2009 – Sleek Audio and Kleer today announced two of the UK’s most respected consumer technology publications awarded the SA6 W-1 in-ear wireless earphones with a perfect five out of five rating. Sleek Audio and Kleer teamed up in 2008 to offer the world’s first high-fidelity earphones that can go from wired, to wireless and back again while offering groundbreaking, CD quality wireless performance.
“Working with Kleer has been a tremendous experience as their technology enabled us to finally offer a true, high-fidelity audio experience without the wires,” said Mark Krywko, CEO of Sleek Audio. “We are very pleased to see the result of two innovative companies coming together to change the way people enjoy the music they love,” added Krywko.
The SA6 W-1 was also awarded the Popular Science “Best of What’s New” Award for 2008 in the gadget category for innovation and the editors at What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision and FIVEFWD agree with Popular Science’s assessment.
“Begone with your negative thoughts! The combination of squeaky-clean wireless and customised sound reproduction render the Sleeks virtually criticism-proof,” wrote the FIVEFWD reviewer.
“These are the wireless earphones to own,” wrote What Hi-FI? Sound and Vision, the world’s #1 home entertainment buyer’s online buyers guide.
Sleek Audio and Kleer will continue working together as Sleek launches the SA6 v.2, an upgraded version of the award winning SA6. Like all Kleer-based wireless audio products, the SA6 v.2 will be compatible with any product that uses Kleer technology. This means the SA6 v.2 earphones can receive wireless audio from a wide range of Kleer-based transmitters on the go, in the car, or at home.
“With the upcoming release of the SA6 v.2, Sleek Audio is once again demonstrating its wireless audio leadership and ability to expand its high-quality portfolio of wireless earphones that incorporate Kleer technology,” said Steven Humphreys, President & CEO at Kleer. “It is gratifying to see that the Sleek Audio SA6 wireless earbuds are receiving the rave reviews they deserve.”

Sleek Audio Announces their Upgraded CT6 Custom Wireless Earphones
June 10, 2009
The first custom tuned, wireless compatible earphones that utilize Kleer’s CD quality wireless technology
Palmetto, Fl. June 11, 2009 – Sleek Audio, developer of the SA6 acoustically customizable earphone and recipient of Popular Science’s “Best of What’s New” award in 2008 has announced the launch of their CT6 (custom tuned) custom earphones.
The CT6 is the culmination of combining loudspeaker technology with hearing aid science to create a hand-made, custom tuned, wireless compatible earphone that offers groundbreaking performance, comfort and ESC (Environmental Sound Control).
“Our engineers and product developers have made tens of thousands of custom hearing instruments, and the CT6 is designed to offer anyone from the most adamant audiophile or musician to the frequent flyer and music lover crystal clear sound quality and comfort,” said Mark Krywko, CEO of Sleek Audio. “We went beyond creating a hand-made earphone and inserting a speaker. We’ve improved upon our previous custom model with new designs and still custom tune each earphone for our customers. If they need a little more on the low end because they play the bass guitar or they want it completely neutral for ‘critical’ listening enjoyment, we can do that for them,” added Krywko.
The CT6, like its SA6 in-ear earphone counterpart, can go from wired to wireless and back again thanks to its removable, swivel cables. Using KLEER™ wireless technology the CT6’s offer unprecedented sound quality from a wired and wireless platform. It also offers ESC (Environmental Sound Control) eliminating up to 35db of external noise.
“By taking into account the uniqueness of not only the ear’s external shape, but more importantly its internal acoustics we can offer the same level of performance customers typically pay three times as much for,” added Krywko.
Additionally, customers have options on cable porting, color, earphone transparency and graphic designs.

KLEER wireless attachment comes to Sleek Audio’s SA6 canalphones
October 8, 2008
by Darren Murph, posted Oct 7th 2008 at 2:31PM
Sleek Audio’s SA6 canalphones generated quite a bit of buzz due to those adjustable acoustics, and if you’ve been wishing on your lucky stars for a wireless interpretation of said headphones, something is clearly going right for you. The outfit has just revealed that a new partnership with KLEER (yes, KLEER) has led to a wireless application for the SA6 and Sleek Customs, which, according to Sleek, is the first wireless technology that could do these drivers justice. The new adornment attaches right to the SA6 earphones to provide “CD quality sound from a wireless platform,” and better still, the SA6’s detachable cable ensures that you can keep on listening with a tether should your battery die in the midst of cordless jamming. The KLEER accessory should be up for pre-order shortly at $120, while a KLEER / SA6 bundle will sell for $299.99. Full release after the break.
A New Standard is Set for Wireless Earphones; Sleek Audio Launches their KLEER Wireless Application for the SA6 and Sleek Customs
Music lovers are freed from the limitations of cords with Sleek Audio’s award winning earphones that offer CD quality digital audio for the ultimate wireless listening experience
Bradenton, Fl. October 08 – Sleek Audio, developer of the award winning SA6 earphones, has teamed with KLEERTM, the leading wireless audio application developer, to create a wireless audio experience that sets a new standard for audio quality, comfort and flexibility.
Sleek Audio wireless earphones using KLEER technology are a breakthrough in sound quality from a wireless platform. They are the first to offer true, CD quality sound wirelessly through a customizable, ultra-wide balanced armature driver. No detail, range or power is lost as the audio signal travels from the music player to the earphones, allowing listeners to “escape” into their music like never before. They are also the first wireless earphones to resolve battery issues that other wireless systems struggle with. Previous wireless earbuds were rendered useless if the wireless application ran out of power and the listener was out of luck until they could recharge the battery. Thanks to the SA6’s detachable wire, if the wireless application runs out of battery, the original cable can simply be plugged in, and the listener is back in business.
“It’s amazing how far wireless technology has come along over the years. Until KLEER, wireless technology really did not do justice to our SA6’s, but now wireless technology has caught up with the audio side and we can offer wireless earphones that don’t sacrifice sound quality,” said Mark Krywko, CEO of Sleek Audio. “Our earphones are designed to evolve, and allow music lovers to escape into their music by offering unparalleled sound quality, comfort and ESC (Environmental Sound Control). Wireless is the next step in that evolution allowing for more freedom than ever. We’ve tested our wireless SA6’s with the most particular audiophiles we could find, and they couldn’t believe the quality of sound coming from our earphones using a wireless platform, we’ve really set the bar high and are excited to bring this application to music lovers around the world,” added Krywko.
The KLEER wireless system attaches seamlessly to all current and future Sleek Audio products thanks to the proprietary detachable cable that comes standard. It provides up to ten hours of battery life independent of the media player and allows up to four people to listen from a single audio stream with 60 feet of freedom thanks to KLEER’s multi-point Listen inTM technology.
“Sleek Audio really is a leading innovator in personal audio and after seeing (and listening to) what they had developed with their SA6 earphones we knew we were going to do some incredible work together as two leaders in our respective fields,” said Levent Gun, President & CEO for Kleer . “Sleek Audio really thought of everything when they created their SA6 earphones, and it made it relatively easy for a wireless application to be developed,” added Gun.
The wireless application is available for pre-purchase at www.sleek-audio.com and is currently adaptable to both the SA6 and Sleek Customs.
