Whatever your audio needs, we’ve got you covered with deals on three excellent sets of headphones today. First up is Klipsch Image ONE Gen 2 on-ear headphones complete with in-line controls for $50.
Klipsch, worldwide enemy of fast-typing journalists, has arrived at IFA with two new audio products for our enjoyment. First up, the company is touting the Gig, a portable Bluetooth speaker with a clip-on arm that doubles as a stand. Packing AptX, NFC and a battery rated for 12 hours of life, the speaker is controlled with a chunky analog knob which reminds us of a childhood wasted playing with audio separates. Sound-wise, the Gig crams in four drivers — two tweeters and a bass up front, while a second bass ’round back balances out the sound. At least, that’s what Klipsch says, anyway. Black and white versions will launch in October for $200, and if you want to jazz up your sound with a different-colored strap, you can purchase additional hues from the company website. Wanna hear about Klipsch’s other offering? Head on past the break. %Gallery-slideshow83369%

Klipsch’s Music Center KMC 3 Bluetooth speaker costs $400, will be available in June
Posted in: Today's ChiliKlipsch is known for offering everything from well-designed headphones to home theater systems, but the audio-focused outfit has been staying away from producing relatively portable Bluetooth speakers. That all changed back at this year’s CES when Klipsch outed the KMC 3 as part of its Music Center lineup, which we’re now finding out will be priced at $400 (or $399.99, to be precise) when it hits store shelves this coming June. In return for your hard-earned cash, Klipsch’s first Bluetooth-equipped soundbox (apt-X and AAC) will give you a 2.1 assortment that’s loaded with 2-inch, full-range drivers, a zippy 5.25-inch subwoofer and a battery capable of running up to 26 hours — this, according to the company, makes for a system “perfectly designed for powerful, accurate sound reproductions.” Don’t mind the hefty price tag? Then make the source link below your next stop if you’re interested in snagging one of these.

Klipsch details Stadium and KMC3 wireless speakers, hopes to be at the Center of your listening experience
Posted in: Today's ChiliSound and time: two things that fly by pretty fast — and many an Engadget editor have been known to make time zip by faster with Klipsch headphones. While the company showed us its latest ear-gear in the fall of 2011, it’s kicking off 2013 at CES with a focus on speakers. It was a year ago when we checked out a mockup of Klipsch’s Stadium AirPlay speaker, and it’s finally poised to hit shelves in the coming months. Part of its Music Center lineup, the visually striking, wireless 2.1 system (pictured right) hasn’t changed aesthetically, but the company does have more to share when it comes to specs and availability. In addition to AirPlay, it’s now loaded with DLNA and Bluetooth, with compatibility for aptX. The Stadium is loaded with a duo of 5.25-inch subwoofers, a pair of three-inch woofers for mids and a pair of 1-inch “horn-loaded” tweeters to handle the highs. Now word on price just yet, but north of $1,500 (yes, you read right, audiophiles) wouldn’t be a bad guess when it arrives this summer.
For those looking solely for Bluetooth connectivity in a semi-portable package, Klipsch’s KMC3 (pictured left) might be the ticket. This 130-watt system features a 5.25-inch subwoofer and a pair of two-inch full-range drivers. Naturally, an 3.5mm input lets you plug your devices in the old fashioned way, while on integrated USB port can be used for charging your devices. Sadly, there’s also no word on price for the KMC3, but it should arrive a bit sooner in the spring. Klipsch says it has more planned for the Music Center this year as well, so we’ll keep you posted when we hear more. More details in the press release after the break.

These Beastly Klipsch Speakers Are Your Dealzmodo-Exclusive Deal of the Day
Posted in: Today's Chili Airplay is the best way to get quality wireless audio into your home. Klipsch makes some fine-sounding Airplay products, including the G17 Airplay Speaker, which is packing some great internals.

Plus, it works with everything. There’s a 3.5mm jack, a USB port, and plenty of Airplay apps that work with Android or Windows. All in a package attractive enough that you can display it proudly in your living room—it even comes with kid gloves for fingerprint-free unboxing. More »
Let me guess: you’re still using the stock earbuds that came with your phone. Don’t deny it, I see you every day, on the bus and train, listening to white cords coming out of your ears. I get it—they were free, and they were convenient, and you haven’t gotten around to upgrading. But you should know that they don’t actually sound that great, and those white buds tell everyone—even muggers—what you’ve got in your pocket. Today’s Dealzmodo is for you; we’re giving you a chance to upgrade your stock earbud noise to premium Klipsch reference sound at a pretty large discount. More »
Next Apple earbuds potentially sighted in Vietnam, may fix an iconic design (video)
Posted in: Today's ChiliThe pack-in earbuds for iPhones and iPods have been among the most recognizable of technology symbols for more than a decade… just not for their technical merits. They’re notorious for slipping out of wearers’ ears and having a mediocre sound next to just about anything else you can buy. If Tinhte‘s own discovery in Vietnam is authentic, Apple might be breaking with another one of its longstanding traditions this year by redesigning those earpieces for the better. Gone are the usual buds that only vaguely aim towards your ear canals. Instead, what’s on show has oval tips very loosely resembling those of the Klipsch Image S4 II, and slots in at an angle to fit more directly into the canals — not to mention more comfortably, based on early tests. We can’t guarantee that these headphones are more than just the products of an ambitious third-party manufacturer, but Tinhte has had a good track record for snagging pre-release Apple gear, and that “Designed by Apple in California Assembled in Vietnam” lettering would reduce the possibilities to either a good KIRF or the real thing. One way or the other, we could know the truth soon enough.

Klipsch HD Theater SB 3 soundbar
Posted in: Today's ChiliKlipsch has just introduced their first horn-loaded soundbar known as the HD Theater SB 3, where it is touted to deliver detailed sound and maximized output effortlessly, although it remains to be seen whether it is good enough to live up to the press release’s word of covering “even the largest listening areas.” Still, we would like to give the soundbar the benefit of doubt, considering how Klipsch’s track record had always been pretty affable.
Applying its true principles of high efficiency, low distortion, controlled directivity, wide dynamic range and flat frequency response to the Klipsch HD Theater SB 3 soundbar, your ears basically enjoy power to the performance. Functioning as a two-way soundbar with premium drivers, the HD Theater SB 3 will rely on lightweight aluminum tweeter diaphragms that deliver distinctive high-frequency detail, in addition to new long-throw woofers for extended bass response. Not only that, the tweeters are coupled to Klipsch-exclusive Tractrix Horns which are able to reduce distortion and increase dispersion in a more direct manner to the main listening area. Part of the package includes a 10” wireless subwoofer which is housed in a MDF cabinet for distortion-free bass.
Other features include a built-in Dolby Digital decoder, a 3.5mm input, and an optional 3D Surround Mode. There is only one color choice for the Klipsch HD Theater SB 3, but we are not complaining about forking out $799.99 for a satin black finish as it arrives later this coming September.
