Followers of the famous rock musician and songwriter Lou Reed can now add a new collectible item to their kitty in the form of the freshly declared Klipsch Signature limited edition Lou Reed X10i headphones. The unveiling of this stylish audio accessory coincides with the release of the Velvet Underground songwriter’s new album named ‘Lulu,’ which is a result of his collaboration with the popular rock band Metallica.
The Klipsch Signature headphones come incorporated with the company’s trademark patented oval ear tips that promise to deliver utmost comfort and convenience to users even for long durations. They are equipped with the noise isolation feature and said to even provide high quality bass. According to the company, the oval shape is a better choice when compared to the standard circular designs which reportedly put stress on certain sensitive points inside the ear.
“Being able to work so closely with Lou Reed on a project such as this is a dream come true for our brand and his fans. 65 years ago, Paul W. Klipsch laid the foundation to recreate the powerful, emotional and memorable live music experience for all Klipsch listeners. We continue to strive for the same today and are honored to now have a unique sound solution connected to a true music legend,†elaborated Mike Klipsch, president of global operations for Klipsch.
These latest specialty headphones are integrated with an echo cancellation microphone that supposedly delivers incredibly clear sound. Dressed in glossy purple with copper accents, the audio accessory is believed to fit aptly into the contours of the ear canals. While the look has been inspired by the famous ‘king of New York avant-rock’, their exteriors are adorned with Reed’s signature in a golden font.
The Klipsch Signature limited edition Lou Reed X10i headphones price reads at $399.99 (approx. Rs. 20,296) and is expected to hit shelves on December 10. It will be available via select retail stores as well as online at Klipsch.com. The offering will even be accompanied by an authentic collectible autograph card of Lou Reed.
