Sleek Audio SA6

MSRP: $249

These innovative modular headphones let you customize the sound to your personal taste.

Review date: May 21, 2008

If you’ve ever wanted to tweak your headphones’ sound but didn’t want to void the warranty by cracking open that $200-plus accessory, Sleek Audio’s SA6 modular noise-isolating earbuds are worth checking out. The SA6 is the only set of headphones we’ve ever had to open the instruction manual to use, but once you customize them to your personal listening preferences, they’re definitely worth the effort. Design These $249 earbuds come with six pairs of interchangeable filters, called ports, that can be used to reduce or increase the treble and bass; just remove the silicone tips, pull the ports out, and replace them with a different set to achieve the desired acoustics. The ports are easy to swap out, but they’re also small and easy to lose. Sleek Audio sells replacement pairs for $12.50.

ProsCons
  • Easily adjustable sound
  • Removable cables
  • Effective noise isolation
  • Bulky plastic case
  • Tiny parts are easy to lose
