Sleek Audio SA1 Earphones Offer Wireless and Tuning Options

Sleek Audio has just introduced its new SA1 Tunable and Wireless Compatible Earphones, which can be used either as standard wired headphones or wirelessly via Sleek Audio’s Kleer system…and expand on the tuning options available in the company’s SA6 headphones by offering two treble port options that can be screwed into the earphones in front of the 6mm driver to customize the sound output to individual taste. The earphones also sport a rosewood body and a variety of sizing flanges for a comfortable fit.

“Our number one priority is developing amazing sounding earphones that offer more to music lovers in terms of performance, style, and comfort,” said Sleek Audio COO Jason Krywko, in a statement. “The SA1 does just that, and was developed specifically to allow more people to enjoy our award winning products than ever before.”

The SA1s feature a 6mm driver that the company claims delivers substantial bass response, but the headphones also come with two screw-in treble port options that can further tune the sound of the headphones to a user’s individual preferences. If someone, say, primarily listens to audiobooks, they might need a very different headphone than a someone who wants to (figuratively) rattle nearby windows with deep house bass.

The SA1s also feature detachable cables (so cables can be replaces without buying new headphones: custom color cables will be available in 2010). Users can also pair the SA1 earphones with Sleek Audio’s Kleer wireless system for cord-free use.

The SA1s are available now at a suggested price of $79.99.

There's a scene in Mission Impossible 3 that you might recall. In it, our hero Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) tackles the movie's villain, holds him at gunpoint, and forces him to read a bizarre series of sentences aloud.

"The pleasure of Busby's company is what I most enjoy," he reluctantly reads. "He put a tack on Miss Yancy's chair, and she called him a horrible boy. At the end of the month, he was flinging two kittens across the width of the room ..."

Digital Trends’ Top Tech of CES 2023 Awards
Best of CES 2023 Awards Our Top Tech from the Show Feature

Let there be no doubt: CES isn’t just alive in 2023; it’s thriving. Take one glance at the taxi gridlock outside the Las Vegas Convention Center and it’s evident that two quiet COVID years didn’t kill the world’s desire for an overcrowded in-person tech extravaganza -- they just built up a ravenous demand.

From VR to AI, eVTOLs and QD-OLED, the acronyms were flying and fresh technologies populated every corner of the show floor, and even the parking lot. So naturally, we poked, prodded, and tried on everything we could. They weren’t all revolutionary. But they didn’t have to be. We’ve watched enough waves of “game-changing” technologies that never quite arrive to know that sometimes it’s the little tweaks that really count.

CES is more than just a neon-drenched show-and-tell session for the world’s biggest tech manufacturers. More and more, it’s also a place where companies showcase innovations that could truly make the world a better place — and at CES 2023, this type of tech was on full display. We saw everything from accessibility-minded PS5 controllers to pedal-powered smart desks. But of all the amazing innovations on display this year, these three impressed us the most:

Samsung's Relumino Mode
Across the globe, roughly 300 million people suffer from moderate to severe vision loss, and generally speaking, most TVs don’t take that into account. So in an effort to make television more accessible and enjoyable for those millions of people suffering from impaired vision, Samsung is adding a new picture mode to many of its new TVs.

Relumino Mode, as it’s called, works by adding a bunch of different visual filters to the picture simultaneously. Outlines of people and objects on screen are highlighted, the contrast and brightness of the overall picture are cranked up, and extra sharpness is applied to everything. The resulting video would likely look strange to people with normal vision, but for folks with low vision, it should look clearer and closer to "normal" than it otherwise would.
Excitingly, since Relumino Mode is ultimately just a clever software trick, this technology could theoretically be pushed out via a software update and installed on millions of existing Samsung TVs -- not just new and recently purchased ones.
