SLEEK AUDIO NAMED AS BEST OF CES INNOVATIONS 2011 DESIGN AND ENGINEERING AWARD HONOREE

Las Vegas, NV January 6, 2010 – Sleek Audio today announced that it has been named an International CES Best of Innovations 2011 Design and Engineering Awards Honoree for the SA7 Wireless Hybrid in-ear earphone.  Products entered in this prestigious program are judged by a preeminent panel of independent industrial designers, engineers and members of the media to honor outstanding design and engineering in cutting edge consumer electronics products across 35 product categories. The Best of Innovations Honorees are the products that received the top score in their category.

            The SA7 Wireless Hybrid in-ear earphone sets a new standard for mobile audio performance through advanced design technology. The groundbreaking construction of this earphone is just one aspect of the technology it employs. A milled aluminum core houses a first-of-its kind custom tuned dual armature driver configuration. The drivers are encased in a layer of silicone, further protected by military-grade carbon fiber sidings and held together with a titanium hexagonal screw. The earphones also employ Sleek’s award winning VQ™ Tuning technology and detachable cable for moving from wired to wireless and back again.

            “With the amount of time, research and energy we put into developing the SA7 receiving the Best of CES Innovations award for the headphone category is a tremendous honor,” said Mark Krywko, CEO of Sleek Audio. “Every detail of this product, from the build, to the customized speaker configuration was designed to offer something truly unique to the market,” added Krywko.

• Aesthetic and design qualities
• The product’s intended use/function and user value
•  Unique/novel features that consumers would find attractive
• How the design and innovation of the product compares to other products in the marketplace

Sleek Audio provides amazing sounding and looking customized earphones. The various models can be dissembled, allowing the customization of the sound and/or replacement of a damaged section. The actual earphone pieces can have their dynamic driver removed and exchanged with a different one in order to provide extra bass, more treble or customize the right and left earphones as to the specific individual’s desires. Moreover, the earphones can also be unplugged from their cables if replacement is necessar. Instead of having to fork out for a brand new pair of expensive earphone for great sound, you simply replace a section. Pretty nifty.

In addition to providing the ability to purchase specific parts for customizing the sound or replacing damaged areas, the earphones can also be removed as to be able and mount them to the Kleer Wireless system for superb sound without the cables and hassle. Yes, Sleek Audio wireless technology grants a lightweight, efficient and comfortable way to enjoy your music on the go without having a cable tug at you, take up space or get in the way

“Sleek Audio’s reputation as a leading company for high quality sound and superb music innovation is growing rather quickly, even for being a company that is still not even a decade old.”

“Indeed, looks can be deceiving. But, to our relief, for under a hundred dollars, the SA1 provided us with an ultimate listening experience worthy of a more expensive earphone. In fact, when paired with the wireless module which we’ll discuss shortly, these are some of the best wireless personal audio gear that we’ve tried.”

Sleek Audio’s SA1s Good Wired, Great Wireless

There is no shortage of headphones on the market and we have had our preferred picks as well as ones we would choose to leave behind on a subway seat. Sleek Audio has previously commanded our attention at CES, and we’ve recently been listening to the Sleek Audio SA1 High-Fidelity Siam Rosewood Earphones.

The most readily apparent aspect of these particular headphones is that they do not look cheap- there is no lackluster plastic in a bright, neon color, and the quality of manufacturing is obvious. Real wood (Siam rosewood) and metal complete the look that says that you are an adult and not a tween. We’ve seen others in this class- Monster’s Turbine Pro Golds, for instance also wooed us with their good looks, and our most recently reviewed pair lack looks but make it up with sound.

The all-new SA1 received an Inovation Honoree Award from the Consumer ELectronics Association.

SLEEK AUDIO NAMED AS CES INNOVATIONS 2011 DESIGN AND ENGINEERING AWARD HONOREE

New York, New York, November 9, 2010 – Sleek Audio today announced that it has been named an International CES Innovations 2011 Design and Engineering Awards Honoree for the SA1 Wireless Hybrid in-ear earphones.  Products entered in this prestigious program are judged by a preeminent panel of independent industrial designers, engineers and members of the media to honor outstanding design and engineering in cutting edge consumer electronics products across 35 product categories.

            The newly designed SA1 boasts a rosewood aluminum build for a classy, yet innovative style. For performance, the SA1 utilizes a 6mm. custom tuned driver with an all-new dual venting system for astonishing bass response and vocal clarity. The VQ™ Tuning system gives listeners more control over the powerful 6 mm. driver by allowing them to adjust the frequency response to match their individual sonic preference. Finally the Wireless Hybrid technology gives the users the option to upgrade to Sleek’s Kleer™ wireless application for uncompressed, lossless music without the cables.

            “We have always claimed that all of our products, from our most expensive to our most affordable, will offer true innovation and performance for our customers.

The Forever Earphone

“Spend hundreds on hi-fi earphones, and they had better last. But even pricey pairs get tossed around like keys. Sleek Audio already started a durability trend with detachable cords that can be replaced if broken. Now its SA7 model is the most hard-wearing overall design we’ve seen.”

“For $80, you’ll honestly be hard-pressed to find a set that is built with this level of quality.”

By Darren Murph

Impression

Sleek Audio has been trumpeting its “tunable acoustics” for years now, but up until the advent of the SA1, most every set of customizable earbuds from the outfit was only in the realm of feasibility for those with a copious amount of disposable income. Beyond that, the company was one of the few utilizing Kleer’s wireless technology in order to cut the cable between your ears and your media player, but again, the lofty price tag acted as a serious barrier to entry. Enter the SA1, which serves as Sleek’s first mainstream ‘buds that fall well within the “impulse buy” region for anyone on the hunt for a mid-range set. These just started shipping a few weeks back for $79.99, and if the Siam rosewood body didn’t turn you on already, maybe the litany of ear tip choices and promise of audiophile quality in a sub-$100 package will. Hop on past the break to see how we felt about our most intimate moments with the SA1 (and the optional Kleer W-1 wireless dongle).

“A tad expensive, maybe, but these are the wireless earphones to own”

What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision, the world’s #1 home entertainment buyer’s guide online, recently posted a review of the Sleek Audio SA6/W-1 wireless earphones, and gave it a 5 out of 5 stars review. Here’s their pullout quote on these wireless earbuds, which is just great: “A tad expensive, maybe, but these are the wireless earphones to own.” Here’s more of the review:

 The earphones are joined by a wireless receiver, which talks to a digital transmitter that can be connected to any device with a headphone output.

 The devices are paired out of the box and a choice of three in-ear buds allows us to get the fitting spot on. The sound delivered has dynamics, detail and clarity.

 Bass is a little light and they’re still a touch expensive for what’s on offer, but if you have the money and like the dongle set-up, these are the wireless ears of choice.”

 Read the review on the What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision website >>

And just to add a little more detail, the Sleek Audio SA6 wireless earphones use Kleer wireless audio technology deliver uncompressed, CD-quality, lossless audio with a range of up to 60 feet and listening time of up to 10 hours. In addition, the Sleek Audio SA6 wireless earbuds are also capable of transmitting point to multipoint, meaning one transmitter can stream wireless music to up to four sets of Sleek Audio wireless earbuds. And these earphones are the first and only earphones that allow a listener to go from wired to wireless and back again thanks to Sleek Audio’s patented detachable cable.

“I didn’t know that they were $80, I would have guessed that they cost twice as much.”

Here’s the dilemma: you’re listening to your favorite music, and outside noises are not only bleeding in, they are making your music less clear. Most people would turn up the volume to block the unwanted noise and amplify their audio. The only problem is that in the process, they might also be causing irreparable hearing loss. Then there’s the matter of bass and treble – sometimes your left ear needs more bass and your right more treble, and that’s not exactly something you can set on an equalizer. How do you handle that?

Sleek Audio, a two year old company that was started by the father and son audiologist team Mark and Jason Krywko, may have the answer; but first a bit of background. Sleek Audio “began when Mark found himself dissatisfied with the sound signature of the dozens of different earphones he had tried over the years, so as a 30 year veteran of the audio and custom hearing aid industries, he decided to build his own.”
