The iMuffs MB210 by Wi-Gear are multi-functional headphones for the iPod Nano, iPod Video (5G), iPod Mini, iPod (3G) and iPod (4G). Wi-Gear has set out to “cut the cord” with this headset. Although not specifically designed for other devices, you can also use these headphones with the iPhone, Bluetooth enabled mobile phones and properly equipped computers.
The behind-the-neck headphones are surprisingly lightweight and flexible to reduce ear fatigue. The iMuffs hold very well whether you’re enjoying music around the house or going for a brief jog. The positioning of the headphones gives more direct, clear bass tones with less sound loss. Designed with the right-handed population in mind, the right earpiece has a convenient volume control as well as pause, forward and backward navigation controls.
Powered by a rechargeable lithium polymer 550mAh battery, the iMuffs claim to give users up to 20 hours of continuous playback. We found the actual time to be more in the 16 to 18 hour range, which is still not bad. Recharging the battery is made easy by virtue of the standard micro USB port.
Connecting your iPod is very simple, just plug it in and turn it on. The navigation buttons are very responsive to touch and quite easy to press making it impossible to lay down on your right side while listening to music. The iMuffs also connect to the iPhone as well as other Bluetooth 2.0 enabled mobile phones. The integrated Bluetooth supports the A2DP, AVRCP, HFP and HSP profiles. You can also use this headset to place calls without the use of the handset itself. We were able to use the iPhone via Bluetooth to place calls, but the Bluetooth dongle is needed to actually listen to music.
Audio playback as well as call quality are both about average. We were able to listen to music within a close proximity to the actual device with little to no interference. When you go into another room, or put a large object between your and your music device you will almost always here static until in direct sight of your device, but that is to be expected from most Bluetooth devices.
The iMuffs have a 20Hz - 20kHz frequency range, which is much better than a lot of headphones today. However their use of Bluetooth wireless means sound quality undergoes compression and, as such, these aren’t the wireless cans for audiophiles (who would do better looking at Sleek Audio’s W-1 system). The headphones reach up to 40 feet away, making them perfect for doing work around the house or hitting the gym. They also use Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP), allowing incoming calls to interrupt music. Without A2DP users would need two separate headsets, one for music and one for Bluetooth calling. While noise-canceling technology is present in the iMuffs, it is very limited and by no means advanced. In locations where there is moderate background noise, the headphones phase out noise pretty well. However in situations where there are high noise levels, the noise cancelation fails to perform very well.
If the iMuffs sound like a perfect holiday gift, even for yourself, you may now order them directly from Wi-Gear for $149.99.

The in-ear headphones Steve Jobs announced back in September have finally gone on sale, complete with a $79 price-tag. Showing in the Apple store as shipping in 7-10 days, the headset not only includes the in-ear stereo buds but an in-line microphone and “control capsule” that allows you to adjust volume, play and pause music, and skip between tracks.
However, while they’d seem the ideal partner for the iPhone, in actual fact the headphones aren’t compatible with the Apple cellphone. More accurately, while they’ll play music, the controls and microphone won’t function. They’re only intended for the iPod nano (4th generation), iPod classic (120GB) and iPod touch (2nd generation).
Three silicone ear-tips are included, just in case you have outlandishly large or small ear-canals, and the drivers themselves are protected from aural filth by removable mesh grills. Two replacement grills are included, just in case the filth really is caked on. Apple also include a carry case.

If you read our interview article with the Sleek Audio founders last week, you’ll know that we’re excited about the upcoming wireless system based on Kleer’s lossless technology. At the root of it all, though, are the SA6 earphones, promising flexibility in sound reproduction at the earbud itself, rather than relying on artificial equalizer tweaks. SlashGear has been testing out the Sleek Audio SA6 earphones for the past few weeks, and we’ve hit pause just long enough for the full review.
First impressions are good, with the SA6’s being smaller but no less sturdy than rivals from Ultimate Ears and other high-end earphone manufacturers. There’s a fair amount to be explored in the foam-cushioned box: the earbuds themselves, pre-fitted with the medium silicone tips, neutral treble tubes and bass tubes, positive and negative versions of the treble and bass tubes, small and large tips and a removable 60-inch cable. There’s also a hard-plastic carry-case, with a pull-out tray for the earbuds around which the cable can be wound, and two small tools for swapping out the different frequency tubes and cleaning inside the silicone tips. A seemingly late addition to the package is a pair of “extended high frequency” treble tubes.
Build-quality of the earbuds themselves is high, with the silicone tips fitting snuggly and the treble tubes almost too tight until you reach for the specially-designed tool. My only point of concern is the bass plug design, which I feel slips out a little too easily. Sleek do sell the bass ports and treble tubes separately - at $12.50 for each set of three - together with the ear tips at $9.99, but I’d rather not have to buy a full array just to replace a single dropped piece.
The detachable cable is a neat touch, though, paving the way for the wireless system (which will sit around the back of the neck) and offering a relatively inexpensive ($24.99) replacement should you accidentally sever the wire. Currently only a black, 48-inch long cable is available (with gold-plated plugs at either end) but Sleek apparently plan on offering different colors and sizes, and even custom-lengths.
In the ear, the range of tip sizes means you’re far more likely to find a fit that’s both comfortable and secure. While the images may make the SA6’s look large, there’s actually little to be seen once they’re in-place; the plug-in design of the cable also means you can choose whether to let it hang down or swivel up and back over your ears.
Sleek Audio recommend that you avoid immediately swapping out the frequency-neutral tubes and instead re-listen to old favorite tracks to get a better idea of what you want from your music. On first play, with tracks from Amy Winehouse’s album Back to Black encoded at 192kbps, I was a little disappointed. Yes, the sound was clear and certainly loud enough, but there was none of the sparkle company co-founder Mark Krywko had promised.
Instead, I had to do a little footwork first: re-ripping the album at 320kbps. The change, even with the standard tubes, was obvious. Balanced across the board from bass through to treble, to my tastes it lacked a little momentum in both the low and top ends, but details were still clear and defined.
Shifting up a gear to tracks encoded in lossless formats brought another tidal-wave of quality. Now the definition observed in the 320kbps tracks was even cleaner, still without particular highlighting to the treble or bass but each tiny detail was noticeable and each instrument - played or vocal - felt like it had its own audio space.
It’s difficult to qualitatively test and explain audio performance, not least because everybody’s interpretation varies of what a track should sound like. Of course that’s where the SA6’s come into their own: the ability to flip out the treble and/or bass tubes and tune the earphones to your personal tastes. With the supplied three bass plugs and three treble tubes - each marked plus, neutral or minus - there’s plenty of scope for emphasizing whichever aspect of the audio you prefer.
Swapping out the bass plugs to the minus option left me a little cold, with audio sounding top-heavy and over-vocalized. The crunchy basslines and much of the rhythm was lost, in a setup unsuited to the sort of music I was testing with. Slot in the plus tubes, however, and it was a revelation; thick, satisfying bass which manages both clarity - in reproducing the individual beats and doing so quickly - and texture.
The alternate treble tubes are similarly effective in changing the audio, although in perhaps a different way. With the minus set the clarity and note differentiation weren’t lost, merely the frequencies more subdued leaving the mid-range and bass to occupy the space. The plus set, meanwhile, really brought out that sparkle I’d been promised, and even more so with the new extended frequency tubes; in fact, when I switched briefly to some instrumental classical music, the higher strings and woodwind was almost too defined with the new tubes, and worked far better with the equal or basic plus tubes.
Consistent throughout is the mid-range, pretty much unaffected by whichever bass or treble tubes you select. Vocals sound natural and just tipped over to the warm sound, adding up to something particularly listenable.
With my tastes obviously leaning toward the plus-marked tubes, I did wonder in passing what the purpose of all this flexibility was - why not just fit those options as standard? Of course, your ears will be different to mine, your tastes different and your musical choices different too. If I spent my days listening to string quartets I’d probably have come to a different decision.
There’s also a lot to be said for the journey of finding which setup is your favorite; while I may not have settled upon the other bass and treble options, they did highlight different aspects of the music that previously I hadn’t noticed. That increased familiarity has left me a more contented, interested listener. It can be a safer experience, too; the balance of frequencies mean subtle aspects of the track don’t get lost among the power, so the overall volume can be lower and less risk of damaging your ears.
Ironically, Sleek Audio have now given me a lot of homework to do: re-ripping all of my CDs as lossless tracks. Previously, with the aftermarket Sony earphones that were my daily drivers, I couldn’t notice any significant difference between middling bitrates and higher; the SA6’s have motivated me to go back, re-rip and see what other musical details I previously overlooked.
Best of all, with the start of Kleer wireless pre-orders, Sleek Audio have dropped the price of the wired SA6 earphones. What once would cost you $249.99 can now be had for $209.99; perhaps not “cheap”, but for what you get - in terms of build quality, customization flexibility and, most of all, sound quality - it’s a bargain.
We’re waiting for the first wireless adapters to ship so that we can try them out with the SA6’s; given the quality of sound reproduction I’m now used to, they’ll have a lot to live up to.

Sleek Audio stormed the high-end personal audio market with their SA6 in-ear monitor earphones, and now the company is preparing to cut the cord with their imminent Kleer wireless adapter. In an exclusive interview with Mark and Jason Krywko, the father & son team behind Sleek Audio, we discussed the upcoming launch, why Bluetooth just isn’t good enough, and some as-yet-unannounced products.
Sleek are the new kids on the in-ear block; both Mark and Jason come from a background in the hearing-aid industry, with over 35 years experience between them. The company currently has just one product, the $209.99 SA6 in-ear earphones, the acoustic chambers of which took a full year of development. Sleek worked with a high-end speaker manufacturer to develop a custom designed single driver, in fact the most expensive driver currently made. That, together with their expertise in earpieces, adds up to between 27 and 40dB noise isolation (compared to 15-20dB from active noise cancelling over-the-ear headphones); since every ear is unique, the Krywkos added ‘VQ’, Variable Equalization, letting users finely tailor bass and treble responses in the earphones themselves.
The SA6’s were met with incredibly positive response, and spurred Sleek on to offer custom earbuds using the same moulding techniques that are used in hearing aids. With these, users can expect 40-42dB noise reduction which, as Jason explained, means they can turn down the volume and be less at risk of ear damage. They also offer a broader frequency range; “extra shimmer” at the extremes, as Jason put it.
Of course, the trend recently has been to go cable-free, and Sleek have been investigating possible wireless options for more than twelve months. Bluetooth and the stereo A2DP profile were an obvious option, but the distinct loss of audio quality - Bluetooth has the same dynamic frequency range as FM radio - and poor battery life were unacceptable compromises.
In contrast, Kleer were offering CD-quality audio, much better battery performance, and ranges several times that of Bluetooth. The Sleek Audio wireless adapter has a battery life of around 10hrs, plugging into whichever iPod, PMP or other device you choose and making no power demands on it. In recent tests, indoor range - with multiple walls in-between - reached 45 to 50 feet with no loss of sound quality. Total unimpeded range is listed as 60 feet, and up to four wireless adapters can pair with one transmitter. Jason described a recent high-end audio show in Miami in which the wireless SA6 setup coped admirably despite a show-hall full of EMI.
The Sleek wireless system, then, plugs into the SA6 earphones to replace the usual cable. Although that may not be as minimalist as, say, Sennheiser’s MX W1 earphones, each earbud of which is entirely wireless, it does keep prices down and make the system backward compatible to existing SA6 owners. Jason suggested a fully wire-free setup would have cost buyers anything from $500; the upcoming bundle, including wireless and a pair of SA6 ‘phones, will set you back between $275 and $299 (pricing is not finalized). The wireless system on its own will be priced at $120, and is available to preorder now. Keeping it modular also means Sleek can offer a Bluetooth option in the future if, that is, customers want it.
Exclusively, Mark and Jason confirmed with SlashGear that they are working on a new, less expensive version of the SA6 that Sleek will release before the end of the year. That will be followed in 6-8 months by new set of higher-end earphones, slotting in above the SA6. Each of the earphones will use the same connectors as each other, meaning that no matter which version buyers choose, they’ll be able to take advantage of Sleek’s Kleer wireless system. Mark also confirmed that the company is also in talks with other high-end earphone manufacturers about using the Sleek Audio wireless adapters.
Given the acquisition of Ultimate Ears by Logitech back in August, I asked Mark and Jason what they thought about the state of the independent earphone market. They described the buy-out as an example of strength of the in-ear headphones market, but also a sign that people are beginning to recognise the quality of sound possible from PMPs. Sleek admit that, if all you listen to are 128kbps MP3s, you’ll probably not see the point of the SA6’s - wireless or not - however encode at a higher bitrate and with good-quality in-ear earphones you can be hearing detail that previously would have demanded speakers costing many thousands of dollars.
Of course, many would say that $200+ is still plenty to pay for a set of earphones, so we’ve been testing the SA6’s and should have the full review later on this week. We’ll also be testing out the Sleek’s wireless system once the first units make it out to reviewers, so stay tuned!

As everybody knows, a woman’s ears will blister and burn if exposed to headphones not purposefully designed for them. So thank goodness for Audio-Technica’s new headphone ranges ”created especially for women”, five sets of wired on-ear and in-ear models that will make feminists punch the air in delight. As Crystal Griffith, Audio-Technica’s Consumer Marketing Manager gushes, “They combine attractive design with outstanding sound quality, portability and value, and come in a variety of appealing colors to match any style – or stand out in the crowd.” Blimey.
The ranges break down as follows:
- ATH-CK1W (MSRP: $49.99): in-ear headphones available in green, orange, pink, purple, white and yellow, all with matching “decorative” metal carrying cases and three interchangeable eartips to provide superior comfort for your delicate lady-ears.
- ATH-ES3W (MSRP: $79.99) on-ear headphones available in four metallic finishes: blue, green, pink and silver. Cushioned earpads and soft headband, with folding ear-cups so as to slip like a narrow sanitary towel into your clutch-bag.
- ATH-ON3W (MSRP: $59.99) on-ear headphones with a slim, ultralight design in dark gray, pink, teal blue and white. Fold-flat design leaves plenty of room in your purse for lipstick and puppies.
- ATH-CK6W (MSRP: $79.99) in-ear headphones “designed to fit any woman’s style”, in metallic silver, blue, green and pink. Three interchangeable loop support pieces to disguise the shameful fact that one ear is bigger than the other after a boarding-school hockey accident.
- ATH-CK52W (MSRP: $59.99) in-ear model with a color choice of blue, black and white, for “total comfort and convenience” like a fresh portaloo at an open-air festival.
All come with cord-wraps and, quite possibly, patronizing in-box literature about how Audio-Technica are doing women a big favor rather than just trying to cash in on a demographic with nothing more imaginative than a few different colors.

The Bluetrek Sugar Bluetooth Headset is average, at best. But the prism design is interesting and could make a decent accessory for your on-the-go talking needs.
When it comes to features, this headset doesn’t have anything to write home about. It has a built-in voice alert that can act as a reminder for various tasks like when you need to recharge it or when it is plugged in or disconnected. You can also talk for about seven hours on one charge.
Weighing in at 14 grams, the Bluetrek Sugar is a light, compact device that has a unique design. Sure, it might be a bit clunky to wear, but it’s different, that’s for sure. And sometimes, that’s enough. You can get your very own Sugar for $70.
