Klipsch
Klipsch, an audio technology company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of VOXX International Corporation (NADAQ: VOXX), today announced the availability of its flagship HP-3 HERITAGE headphone, inspired by its founder Paul W. Klipsch (PWK). Long before the stereo was introduced, PWK had its first audio experiment with a pair of headphones, which it modified for stereo reproduction in 1919.
After two years behind the curtain, we are finally ready to reveal a helmet worthy of our Heritage range. Acoustically, mechanically and physically, this is the most impressive helmet Klipsch has ever created,"said Vlad Grodzinskiy, Senior Director of Product Development at Klipsch Group, Inc.
The Klipsch HP-3 helmet is meticulously hand assembled using the finest and most functional exclusive materials - such as die-cast steel, sandblasted and hand-polished wood, premium leather and machined aluminum. Solid wood triple aeration earphones add warmth and character. Sheepskin ear cushions provide optimal comfort and relax perfectly over time. A genuine cowhide headband sewn by hand - which softens with time - enhances the character and strength of the whole. The craftsmanship is honored with the quality of the bolts manufactured to withstand the test of time.
The acoustics of the HERITAGE HP-3 is based on Klipsch's legendary sound principles: high-fidelity, low distortion and low bandwidth. Its semi-open design creates precise, natural sound and refined bass. The HP-3 also features a pair of 52mm biodynamic open-edge transducers that reduce distortion, further expand the sound scene and mimic the visual characteristics of the legendary Klipsch HERITAGE speakers, as opposed to conventional headphones.
The HERITAGE HP-3 (PPI: 1499 euros) comes with a custom steel stand, short (1.37 m) and long (2.5 m) braided nylon cables, and a custom made 6.35mm (1/4 inch) jack adapter. Available in three finishes: solid wood - walnut, ebony and oak, the HP-3 helmet will be available in a few days from authorized dealers and is currently available on Klipsch. com
