Brand’s first ever sport model
For the first time, Tat Chuan Acoustic is organizing an official launch together with its principal, Klipsch, to introduce the brand’s Image A5i Sport Earphones in Singapore. Retailing at S$229 (inclusive of GST), this is the first true sport headphone that the company has ever produced. Apart from the sound quality that Klipsch earphones are famous for, the Image A5i Sport Earphones boast the following features that provide fitness enthusiasts the complete audiophile experience while sweating it out.
1. Durability
With Kevlar-armored cables, the headphone presents unrivalled durability and moisture-resistance. Kevlar is a synthetic fibre used often as reinforcement material in car tyres to dramatically reduce puncture rates, as well as in body armour for lightweight military vehicles. It is lightweight, non-flammable and able to withstand impact and stress, as well as harsh environmental conditions found especially in hot climates like Singapore. These earphones are designed to resist moisture and enhance the most strenuous workouts, catering to the sportsman at any level.
2. Customisable fit
Designed to stay put and not drop off, the lightweight Klipsch Image Sport A5i offers a secure, customizable fit. Its flex-wire design gently wraps around the ear and allows listeners to position the headphone for a perfect fit. Adding to its functionality, the Image A5i Sport features a slim three-button remote that houses a directional mic, granting Apple device users seamless call and music control, and crystal clear conversations. A built-in clothing clip keeps these controls in place during activity.
3. In-ear comfort
Equipped with the renowned Klipsch signature – the patented oval ear tips, the Image A5i Sport allows for hours of comfortable wear. Unlike circular-shaped ear tips that put stress on the pressure points inside the ear, Klipsch’s patented oval ear tips naturally fit the contours of the ear canal, providing comfortable long-term wear. These ear tips also offer superior noise isolation (or passive noise-cancellation), blocking out almost all ambient noise and providing excellent bass.
“The Image A5i Sport adds another layer to our highly regarded Image headphone series,” said Chris Aiello, Klipsch product manager for headphones. “Serving as our first true sport headphone, every design component was engineered to withstand the most rigorous activity. As we enter this new category, we look forward to equipping consumers with high-performance audio to accompany their workouts.”
The Image A5i Sport utilizes a high-efficiency driver, presenting advanced audio technology that covers a wide frequency range and is capable of delivering dynamic detail for strikingly realistic sound reproductions. The Image A5i Sport’s audio works with virtually any device that has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack; however, the mic and three-button remote support select Apple products. Included with purchase are four different-sized oval ear tips, a protective carrying case and a two-year warranty. Available in a green finish with gray accents.

they are great for running: they will not slip out of your ear while you run, but for the sound quality I will give the KLIPSCH HEADPHONES a good rating not a great one
