Sleek Audio
SA6
“There has recently been an onslaught of in-ear headphone companies that are trying to find a solution to this problem, and it is possible that Sleek Audio is the first to rise to the occasion…”

Company: Sleek Audio - SA6 Earphones
http://www.sleek-audio.com/
Sleek Audio’s first entry into the crowded arena of portable in ear headphones is in the super-premium $250-plus category. This is a bold and strategic commercial and design decision.
SA6 headphones differ from all other competitors previously on the market, because Sleek’s are “completely adjustable.”

Reviews by Gary on 2008/3/27 17:26:28 (94)This has been, by far, the most difficult Earphone review for me to write. The difficulty is due to the complexity and the “coolness” of this particular product - the Sleek SA6. Imagine being able to custom tune your earphones. Too much treble? You can reduce it. Need more bass? Plug in a “bass port” and give more “oomph” to your music. These are fully customizable earphones with Treble Tubes and Bass Ports you swap in and out to “tailor” the sound to your taste. What more could a “gadget nut” really want?

Headphone addiction
I have a headphone fetish. A great set of ‘phones are more important to me than any media player, and an average pair completely ruins any listening experience for me. I’ve had an ongoing love affair with V-Moda’s mighty Vibe headphones ($100; v-moda.com) for about a year now, but I try to keep an open mind.
Sleek Audio is an upstart boutique company with roots in hearing-aid design. Their debut product is the ingenious SA6 in-ear headphone system ($250; sleek-audio.com). Crafty innovations include a completely tunable audio experience and modular design. Included are three sets of swappable treble filters and bass ports; I left the installed trebles and plugged in the extended bass ports and was instantly wowed by the precise, rich sound.

Sleek Audio SA6 Earphones - Sleek’s tagline “Find your audio fingerprint” is probably one of the most fitting descriptive phrases to accompany the SA6. Amidst the hustle and bustle of CES, I was approached by a Sleek Audio representative, and by the end of our discussion all that I could say was, “thank you for finding me.”

Well, CES 2008 is done and I am going to start posting some items we saw at the show that deserve mentioning on the site.
To start this off, I will be talking about the Sleek Audio SA6 In Ear Earphones. These are much like other companies earphones in that they block out most to all outside noise and stick into your ear with rubber fittings.

I had a chance to sit down with the guys from Sleek Audio and try out their new SA6 In-Ear Monitors. In-ear headphones rely on the ear canal to directly function as a resonating chamber for them to work. Since everyone has differently shaped ear canals, the same headphone can sound significantly different on each person. The really neat thing about Sleek Audio’s SA6 is that it has interchangeable bass ports and treble tips. This enables you to physically personalize the character of the sound without having to rely on software or on-board equalizers.

Sleek’s SA6 earphones premiered at CES in Las Vegas last week, and we’ve got our hands on the first pair to make it to the UK. The earphones and their cable are separate units, which can be connected using tiny gold-plated connectors. This eliminates the most easily damaged part of any pair of headphones - the sealed connection to the cable.
