Congrats on the review.

Maybe you should try to get that last dot for a 10/10 by sending them the updated tuning ports.

Very good review. I posted a link to it in the SA6 thread. Now, if only the Fedex guy would show up with my phones. It says "on the truck" but it's 4:45 and no delivery yet. They have until 7, but the snow might screw it all up.

Review: Sleek Audio SA6 In-Ear Headphones Sing to Your Ears | Gadget Lab from Wired.com

It is exciting to see all of this falling into place after almost 3 years of non-stop work. Mark, the Sleek Team and myself could not be happier at this time.

Jason



Awesome Jason! Congratulations Sleek People.

Jason-
Congrats on the review. These guys have the more accurate ears it seems, unlike the CNET reviewer. Did the CNET guy not have the treble + tip that is now included? I just don't see how he could be wanting for any better treble. That is what I find is the strength of this earphone (well, the mids too)....how smooth and lush the treble is. I've not heard anything quite like until now. How in the world did you get this sound without any hint of harshness? I'm curious, did you guys do a custom single armature driver? It certainly can't be anything off the shelf that is used in any other brands.

Anyway, sorry for the ramble- congrats again after 3 years of work... it sure is paying off. I hope you guys start to reap the rewards now.

Here's a direct quote from their website to answer your question

:

"It’s true that our custom designed, single armature driver may cost us more than if we went with a dual or triple driver system, but sound, size, and quality would have been sacrificed, and your listening experience is more important than that."
