Thanks for all the love guys! We looked into the retractable designs done by LG and ultimately decided the little retractors they use and the fishing line of a high-gauge cable were both unreliable and detrimental to sound. Now, with all that being said, we are working on BOTH an entry level acoustic module that has a similar shape to the original S4 (which never had a problem with falling out of people's ears) and a new neckband that's much smaller and still uses genuine leather. Stay tuned for more, we just went to tooling and anticipate the new products all rolling in around the September timeframe.

@jjptkd - we usually do offer a trade-up program.
@DClisham - I'm sending you a message privately to help sort this thing out. Terribly sorry for the trouble, our guys are A+ but had no tools to help you out. If you had trouble with a pair of Beats headphones that were discontinued years ago I'm sure it wouldn't be so easy either.

Marc, I totally understand what you're saying. This was part of the reason we've chosen to discontinue them - they fit most but not all people, which is certainly disheartening after pulling them out of the box.
I have one recommendation (and another I'll send you privately). Have you tried wearing them with the cord in front of your neck? This goes a long way to anyone having trouble with the fit. We found that oftentimes it was the black antenna piece that would hit your collar and become the culprit, pressing the back of the ear piece up and over your ear.

Truth is while I really enjoy the way they sound they just aren't that comfortable to me. Tight fitting and kind of heavy / bulky to wear, I should probably just sell them off and maybe try the newer version?
This is one of the major reasons it became the Status headphone. And since that headphone's discontinuation we will finally have the Reference Over-Ear by the end of the month.

I'd love to understand if those use a "burned" DSP chip or programmable. Imagine if you could your hands on the tools for that you could probably toss those chips and amps in a Khorn or Lascala........or whatever and ditch the passives and outboard amps.
Love to see kits Klipsch........
Since the WiSA standard is open to anyone you're absolutely on the right track. The chips are not burned, therefore firmware-upgradable. We can control just about anything with the system. There's no homebrew kits available currently, but there's no reason why it can't be done. The HD Wireless system now is encrypted and secure so there's little chance someone will be able to tamper with the current product, but there's a reason why we set the crossovers to where they are (arguably the only thing that needs adjustment).
As far as getting more subwoofer volume, one thing that worked for me was changing the setting of the subwoofer based on its location. You can pick "corner", "wall", or "other" currently and it does a bit of re-mapping to compensate. Outside of that, simply boost the channel volume of the subwoofer if you're not getting enough output.

You can definitely use the Play-Fi gate in conjunction with the HD Wireless Control center. As a matter of fact, any Play-Fi gate will do the trick. They're different animals so the one caveat is when the HD Wireless Control Center is off you're not going to get any sound until you turn the system on and change it to the right input.
What's more exciting is Amazon and DTS just announced that they're going to be working together - so HD Wireless + Play-Fi + Amazon Echo Dot could eventually mean full whole home voice control for all your gadgets. It'll be a while until everything is integrated but the foundation has been put down.
PowerGate on the other hand will legitimately add any pair of wired speakers and sub to the Play-Fi infrastructure. Auto-on Play-Fi and all. I've been beta-testing the Pilot units of the PowerGate and it's an absolutely superb 2-channel (+ sub) amplifier.

Just be careful making your decision based on the limitation of 192/48 support. I tend to check my files with Adobe Audition and actually view the high frequency content. In most cases there's nothing up there as the masters were typically 96/24. I'm not going to start the discussion about dog whistle frequencies but I've been underwhelmed by the content I've downloaded from HD Tracks and several others unless I can find a demonstrable difference on http://dr.loudness-war.info/.

On-Ears: $199 passive, $249 Bluetooth (with aptX + AAC, 20 hour battery)
Over-Ears: $249 passive, $299 Bluetooth (with aptX + AAC, 20 hour battery)
Official press release will go out soon on why the Over-Ears are $50 more (hint: unique driver technology)

We do not - however I strongly recommend trying a set of Comply tips. They have great Klipsch compatibility and will definitely suit your needs - http://www.complyfoam.com/categories/Brand/Klipsch/

These headphones came out a bit prior to the start of my Klipsch tenure, but I can try my best to explain. Due to some of the inherent faults in the design of the Mode M40, it got "modified/converted" through various tooling changes to become the Status Over-Ear. The process removed ANC, improved acoustics, and made a few structural changes.
That being said, the structural changes impacted the tools that make the pieces for Mode M40. The tools were modified to make Status parts. In other words, in order to make some aftermarket support pieces brand new tools costing tens of thousands of dollars would have had to be created. On top of that, Status had decreased clamp force and different foam than Mode M40. That makes the Status/Mode M40 pads incompatible with each other. Batches of foam come in 40' sheets. As you can imagine, that'll make an excess amount of earpads for us.
I've been sending a few of these earpads out over the last 2 years to anyone who comes through with requests but I simply ran out of Beta units to rob earpads off of. Next, I'll be working with the supplier to see if there's any chance they have any extras available or negotiating lower minimum order quantities. I know this news isn't great but I hope that provides some guidance as to what's going on.

We slightly modified the first generation Image One and renamed it to R6/R6i On-Ear. It's $79 (without microphone) here in the US and may be right up your alley. Since this is an ongoing model we'll have parts for it for quite a while.
-
You're looking for gym headphones? Running or lifting? I will say if you need ANC Bose is absolutely the best in the business, and with the QC35 they don't even sound bad. Klipsch is dropping a new R6 Bluetooth model in the next month and it'll be available at Best Buy. I'd hold off to see if they're your cup of tea.
-
There's a new Bluetooth In-Ear we'll be launching in about 30 days that you're going to like quite a bit better. It's no $58 though, the new ones will be $179 with about 18 hours of battery life.

Pst. These are landing this month. From every DAC I've tested in the office the ESS arguably performs the best. I haven't tested specifically with the Oppo, but Dragonfly and a few others outperform most BurrBrown and Cirrus DACs with this headphone (my subjective listening). The new Over-Ears are low impedance and very sensitive. You should be able to drive them with ease (make sure you set the Gain setting to Low). They're also tuned to be flat, not bass-boosted, so the Bass Boost feature may be a useful asset.

Please give us a call. Most importantly, cycle through the inputs on the KG-300 base station. When you flip through the various LEDs it reroutes different streams through different inputs. I usually use USB but with a Mac it's a pretty simple process. Windows on the other hand is aligned with Neptune's orbit and there's no telling whether it auto-configures correctly.

VLAD dude where are you haven't heard from your distributor and neither from you it's been over 10 days please respond asap
Sorry Patodia - I've been gone. I've reached out to our distributor who will be contacting you directly.

will there be an android compatibility app that allows button functionality vlad?
Unfortunately things have gotten quite a bit tougher with making an Android app that makes the remote any more functional.
Right now, most Android devices work with the Apple remote & mic, except the volume up and down buttons don't do anything. We've had some luck in making a Samsung Galaxy specific remote, but no dice on making it fully universal as Motorola/LG/HTC and other decide to pin out their headphone output differently.

Please PM me your email address. I'll get you in contact with our India distributor and they can sort you out.

Good to know! These look interesting. Hey, stick to what you like. Another rendition of how newer isn't always better.

Which Sennheisers do you have? Bose is definitely the best in the business at noise cancelling. However I myself never had a need to feel like I'm in a vacuum.
Personally, I resort to my pair of X11 headphones just because I can still put my head on a pillow with them in.

I'm looking into this. Right now it's not very clear what implementation of Bluetooth LG is using. Have you tried to pair any other non-LG Bluetooth product to your B6?
