Klipsch's extra-slim earbuds go wireless

The Klipsch X12 Neckband wireless headphones feature the same sleek, streamlined earbuds found in the company's wired X12i in-ears. You also get the same full-range balanced armature drivers and patented oval-shaped ear tips. But this version has Bluetooth on board, so music plays wirelessly from your phone or tablet. They also sport the nifty around-the-neck design — a popular choice with our customers lately.

Sweat-proof, lightweight, and convenient

I got my hands on a prototype of the X12 Neckband, and the materials used feel worthy of the reference-level performance. Klipsch molded the exoskeleton of the neckband from black chrome steel and lined it with genuine leather. If you've never worn this type of headphone, the band actually rests on your collar area, allowing you to move your head around more freely. The light and lean earbuds seem like they are hardly there at all.

Plus, the neckband is water-resistant, so a little sweat or moisture won't cause any problems. There are controls for music and phone calls, and the built-in microphone ensures conversations are clear. In a cool touch, the neckband actually vibrates to alert you when a call comes through.

A proper fit for top-notch sound

The milled-aluminum earpieces are angled to fit snug. This helps isolate your music from outside noise. Klipsch's patented soft oval ear tips conform to the shape of your ear canal and create a tight seal. There are five pairs included along with a pair of Comply™ foam tips, to help you find the best fit.

Each earbud features a precision balanced-armature driver for transparent, natural sound. The ported enclosures deliver clear highs and mids along with exceptionally deep lows.
