Klipsch Enters Earphone Market With Several Proprietary Technologies
New three-model Custom Series designed to offer complete immersion and complete comfort
As the number one speaker brand in the United States and the leader in professional cinema sound, Klipsch is applying
its 60-plus years of audio experience, along with state-of-the-art proprietary technologies, to deliver a new line of
premium earphones.
The company’s three Custom Series models—Custom 3, Custom 2, and Custom 1— are not only designed to offer great
comfort and sound, they also allow for a complete personalized fit.
“Klipsch has always been passionate about delivering the most accurate, dynamic, and powerful listening experiences.
And our Custom earphones continue that philosophy,” said Tom Gospel, Klipsch program management director. “They
offer better noise isolation, reduce ear fatigue, and deliver the highest audio performance so users can listen longer and
better.”
All three of these earphones utilize 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 provide an amazing seal for
excellent noise isolation and bass response. Because ear canal measurements vary, each Custom model comes with five
different ear gel sizes: small, medium, and large single flange designs as well as small and large double flange designs. To
prevent the ear gels from getting lodged in a user’s ear, Klipsch has also designed a patent-pending earphone nozzle with
mechanical locking ring.
For a perfect exterior comfort, flexible ear wires bend over and around the ears so they can be formed to whatever
fit is best for each individual user. So not only do these adaptable wires provide optimal comfort, they also let users
experience full or partial noise isolation—a great safety feature for on-the-go users. It’s just a matter of pulling the ear gels
out of the ear canals and adjusting the wires to firmly position the earphone nozzles over the canals.
Furthermore, Klipsch has gone to great lengths to ensure the long-lasting durability of these Custom earphones, up to and
including their 50-inch-long cables. The company has added appropriate strain relief at every cable connection point to a
avoid wire damage.
The Klipsch Custom Series earphone line consists of:
Custom 3
flagship earphones employ exclusive KG723 tweeters, KG731 woofers, and a patent-
pending electro-acoustic crossover system to deliver a studio reference acoustic experience. This

carrying case that will also fit an 80G iPod®. Also includes a ¼-inch adaptor, an airline adaptor,
five sets of ear gels, and a cleaning tool.

enhanced full-range acoustic experience—crisp highs and deep lows. This model comes in a
