Dee Edward Brown Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 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. @Vlad ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibbit Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Edward Brown Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 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.

Saturn5 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 My R6's do the same thing. It hasn't affected the function other than making the buttons difficult to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jheis Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 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.
