About the Klipsch XR8i
Home theater-like sound from compact, go-anywhere headphones
Home theater-like sound from compact, go-anywhere headphones
The Klipsch XR8i hybrid in-ear headphones use dual drivers to serve up powerful home theater-like sound on the go.
I find myself watching shows, movies, and videos on my tablet, computer, or phone more than ever before. The Klipsch XR8i hybrid in-ear headphones use a dual-driver combo to re-create Klipsch's signature home theater experience in a portable design. They're part of the Indianapolis-based company's reference "X series" lineup. Imagine binge-watching on Netflix or HBO NOW at night and getting the powerful, immersive impact of a roomful of Klipsch speakers. Without keeping everyone in the house awake!
Each earbud includes two types of drivers. A balanced armature driver is tuned to cover highs and mids, ensuring movies and music sound clear and realistic. At the same time, a down-firing 6.5mm dynamic driver acts as a subwoofer, delivering tight, muscular bass.
Durable and comfortable
These 'phones sport a rock-solid design to complement their heavy-duty sound. The enclosures are made of rugged materials that can survive listening or watching on the go. To keep you comfortable, Klipsch angled the earpieces for a better fit, and they included five sizes of their patented soft oval ear tips. They conform to the shape of your ear canal to isolate your music from outside noise and provide proper bass response.
Control your iPhone® or iPad®
The XR8i's in-line remote gives you convenient control over your iPhone, iPad, or other Apple device. Play and pause music, skip forward or back, and adjust the volume with the three-button remote. The built-in microphone lets you answer calls on your iPhone, hands-free.

Features
Overview: The Klipsch Reference XR8i Hybrid in-ear headphones feature a unique hybrid design that delivers performance comparable to a home theater. The XR8i Hybrid includes five pairs of silicone ear tips, each with the patented oval shape, to assure you get a good fit. A clothing clip and folding carrying case are also included.
Hybrid Drivers: The XR8i Hybrid features a single KG-723 balanced armature tweeter for natural sounding vocals and clear high frequencies. In addition, the KG-065, a custom 6.5mm dual magnet dynamic driver (a true downward-firing subwoofer), reproduces low sub-bass frequencies that are not traditionally heard in a pair of headphones.
Materials: The ear buds are made of sturdy die-cast zinc on the front housing, which provides the optimal weight to keep them in place. The rear housing features a co-molded elastomer, with a rigid inner layer and a soft, pliable outer layer.
Remote/Microphone: The XR8i Hybrid has an in-line 3-button remote/microphone that is compatible with iPhone (3GS and later), iPad, and iPod (nano 4th gen. and later, classic 120GB/160GB, touch 2nd gen. and later). Functions include volume up, volume down, play/pause, next track, previous track, fast forward, fast reverse, answer/end call, and Siri. There is some limited functionality (play/pause, answer/end call) with Android devices.
