R6 Neckband


Dee Edward Brown

Recommended Posts

i have had a pair or R6 since Christmas and I love the sound quality, the battery life, and the form function.  

However, the "rubber" cover over the right side controls has begun to curl and separate from the housing.  can anything be done about this? I'm afraid this will be a problem when I sweat.  also, it looks terrible.

Did you ever hear back on this? I am having the same problem. I just submitted a warranty ticket, but not seeing any replies to your post has me worried. I purchased the headphones less than 5 months ago, but I've only been using them for a couple of months as I didn't open the package for about 3 months. I wonder if this is why they were on sale for such a good price.

So, Klipsch was very helpful and replaced my headsets with no fuss... however, the new set had the same issue. U use them for working out and I sweat heavily (Patrick Ewing Level) and once the control area rubber curled up like this I started having trouble due to excess moisture. 

 

 I have just purchased what may be the last R6 neckband available on amazon. I use these for music as well as every day phone calls. I don't think I have ever had a better more useful head set. I am sold on the neckband style because I can wear them all day and the earbuds are available whenever  want to use them, but I don't lose them like other BT earsets that I have to stuff in a pocket or set down when I don't want them in my ear.

They ALL do this eventually.  Just a poor design/lack of quality control.  Usually doesn't affect function until it gets bad enough that the buttons no longer work.

 

Of course, by that time the battery will no longer take a charge and you have to throw them away anyway.  I've thrown away 3 pair - so far...  Bought a bunch when BuyDig was clearing them out.  Great sound quality as long as they work...

 

Klipsch has not exactly been what I would call pro-active in dealing with this well known defect   Many complaints and crickets from Klkipsch.
