Those look downright sick. I hope they live up to the hype. VERY Nighthawk-ish in appearance.

I really can't think of what headphones Klipsch does, so I'd imagine this would be their flagship, but I could be wrong.  Either way, bravo to the design department on the aesthetics.  Let's hope the sound is competitive for what I imagine to be a hefty price tag.

It would be. Their other products are mostly IEMs (and some of them are damn good!), aside from one or two Best Buy level products. Their speakers, however, are friggin' amazing.

Their speakers seem to have an metallic twang I can't unhear. I have no idea what it is or if anyone else feels the same.

That's a pretty general assumption. Which line of Klipsch speakers are you referring to?

Hey Mike, Did you get a chance to listen to them? Any impressions?

Any info on price?

The top of the line are targeted for $999.  The entry level is $399 (Closed back), there is a model in the middle that is also open back but with a 40mm driver instead of the 50mm that we use in the Top of the line (as well as a bunch of other differences).

Do you know if there will be any Headfi beta testers to help with tuning prior to its release later this year?

I wasn't at CES, but Jack was and he likes the sound of the flagship model. We look forward to hearing the production version.

Totally willing to create a HeadFi beta tester group.  Should I start a new thread?

I would. Something official looking.
