I don't get it.
Can someone explain to me how this is more convenient than a cable?

audio source in your pocket. earphones on your head slash neck. no wires in between.

your hands dont tangle up wires when you decide to wave them around frantically, and they dont get caught in anything because they dont exist.

OR

audio source on somewhere OTHER than your pants. earphones on your head. freedom to move about.

you can figure out the rest.

Oh, ok, thanks.
I usually put the SA6 in my ears, the wires loop around the back of my ears and to the front again, then in my D2 that is in my breast pocket. No wires in the way...

I actually prefer the dangling tethered wireless receiver because of the modding potential.

Hi Jason,
I have a little question:
Do you think it could be possible and useful to put the kleer receiver inside the custom shell of the custom sleeks?
I think that way they would be among the best options in custom models... but then, would the shell fall from the ear easier?...
Anyway, just expressing my toughts...

Not really, people bought the phones wired, not wireless. I also think it's an option worth considering/developing. To me the whole point of being wireless is to feel 'liberated' from the constraints of any associated hardware. I'm not sure if the pictured behind neck wireless receiver is going to make me feel that way inclined. Of course we don't know if this is the final product and I guess options of adding discrete wireless technology to earphones are limited for obvious reasons.

bernardo, that is a wrong assumption of you, many of us, got the SA6 because of the wireless feature, as we already have several p[airs of IEM's, i ahve two more myself, and as they promise us, that they will be fully compatible with the upcomming wireless device.
Now if you want ot incorporate the wireless new feature, Kleen or whatever you call it, in the customs molds, that is different, but now as an standard for the existent SA6...

Yes, I take your point. If the product was advertised as being compatible with the upcoming wireless system then I can see some users, including yourself, will have bought them on that basis. I think there is worth in developing the idea further though, which may mean introducing a new product in addition to the upcoming add on. That is the way of development and I don't think Sleek should worry about alienating existing users of a former system. Personally speaking I would be more inclined to spend money on a totally new product with enhanced operational functionality (for me at least) even though I already own the SA6s. Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not knocking the product (hell, it's not even released yet) and it's good Sleek are forward thinking enough to care about developing their products.

@ Bernardo

By pleasing it's original fan base Sleek is guaranteed plenty of profit from word of mouth recommendations by people who upgrade.

I think their track record of outstanding customer service will assure them of that
