There seems to be good news for fans of the popular rock musician and songwriter Lou Reed as the Klipsch Signature limited edition Lou Reed X10i headphones price and availability has been announced. This pair of specialty headphones has been released to coincide with the launch of the Velvet Underground songwriter’s latest project which is an album created in collaboration with Metallica called ‘Lulu.’
The appearance of the audio accessory has been inspired by the famous ‘king of New York avant-rock’ and is adorned with Reed’s signature in golden font. It features Klipsch’s trademark patented oval ear tips that ensure comfort in long time usage as well as noise isolation and high quality bass. The company says that the oval shape is more convenient than the standard circular designs which apparently pressurize certain sensitive points inside the ear.
Mike Klipsch, president of global operations for Klipsch explained, “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.”
The Klipsch Signature limited edition headphones set into the contours of the ear canals naturally and come integrated with an echo cancellation microphone that reportedly delivers ultra clear audio. It features a three-button remote that aids users in managing phone calls and playlists with a single touch of a button on the iPhone or iPad.
The Klipsch Signature limited edition Lou Reed X10i headphones is set to retail from December 10 through select retail stores as well as online at Klipsch.com and will be available along with an authentic collectible autograph card of Lou Reed. The purple and copper colored accessory is priced at $399.99.
