Have a selection of Custom Colors for your in-ceiling and in wall speakers

2013-03-05T08:53:58-07:00

Greg Sariti suggested:
Yes I know we can paint them, but my technicians are not painters and I leave the aethetics of the Klipsch Speakers I install to another company. I would even suggest some way for me to send a sample of the color I want to use and have Klipsch custom paint them. Customers would pay a good amount to have this done and no one else is doing it. Not only would you set youself apart, but you could improve the end look of your product dramatically.

KMC-3

Hunter Nickels suggested:
I placed my pre-order for the KCM-3 speaker yesterday. I can't wait for its release. I think a rechargeable battery is a must for the next generation or an upgrade to the current model being introduced. Thinking green. Also, perhaps a speaker phone upgrade for the home office user. Custom grilles could be offered on future models like other speakers you offer. I love your sound and look forward to future compliments to your great audiophile products!!

Create a portable soundproof room that you'd be able to transport and build at malls. Then set up the several systems within that soundproof room, that which people make enter and choose which systems they'd like to test. Gotta create that desire, and it's best done by making the potential consumers experience the beauty of Klipsch, not just seeing commercials and celebrities rocking them

Quite a large market for affordable multiplatform gaming headsets

2013-02-27T17:40:33-07:00

Anonymous suggested:
Most gaming headphones can only interface with one platform properly, with a surprisingly few number of gaming headsets that offer full compatibility with all platforms, and those who do offer it are most of the time overpriced or lacking in audio quality or durability. Making an exceptionally good, multiplatform gaming headset at as low a price that is feasible while still turning over a tidy profit would allow you to capture the constantly growing niche that is dedicated gaming enthusiasts who own more than one console.

Rolling Home Theater demo room. Put it into a 56' trailer, blow people away. [updated]

2013-02-18T10:19:25-07:00

Install a home theater demo room in a 56' foot trailer. Deck the outside with Klipsch logos and "******* off Neighbors Since 1946" signage. Take it to malls, stadiums, state fairs, etc. Take orders. It was a trailer like this that got my attention- I was in the USAF, and they had a motivational film theater built into a trailer. I remembered the rank of Klipsch speakers below the screen and how good they sounded. And it wasn't even a Klipsch promo. This was in '85.

I think they should pass out "No BS" buttons. But that probably wouldn't fly at a mall.

Possibly bring back the Klipsch iFi 2.1 Speaker System or revise the Promedia series [updated]

2013-02-18T10:05:08-07:00

I've heard many good things about the Klipsch iFi 2.1 system, so perhaps bringing that system back with an updated, more modern design could be of great popularity with the general audio community. Of course, it would then be competing with the Promedia 2.1 system, but personally, I think the Promedia 2.1 system should be updated. Despite being a classic, the overall design is falling behind others competitors. Among the small problems it has, the main problems would be high amounts of subwoofer distortion (compared to other systems), smallness of the subwoofer driver compared to 8-inch or larger drivers, and the integrated wires (because many consumers would like to be able to buy their own wires).

Glenn said:

Yes, yes, yes!! Bring it back. I should have bought two when they were closing them out.
A plug & play home theater version would kill the Bose Cinemate.

Offer a center channel for Heritage line

2013-02-17T14:32:24-07:00

Craig Curry suggested:
The Academy would do, but It would be very nice to see a speaker listed in the Heritage lineup which is new engineering, so that it is a better timbre match. It would be great to see it offered in different crossover/driver configurations so the buyer could custom order it to somewhat match the timbre of their vintage mains. MANY of us use older Heritage speakers in our HT. People are regularly paying more than $400 for a used single Academy speaker.

Please improve the earbuds [updated]

2013-02-14T19:35:22-07:00

I would really like to see your earbuds improved. I've tried your s4i and i've tried numerous other brands only to have the bud fall out of my left ear. Bose has patented their stayhear tips, but they honestly keep the earbud in. If you could design something similar for an inear experience it would be the first of its kind and i'm sure it would be phenomenal with the sound quality of klipsch behind it. Thanks.

Deck out a Mack truck [updated]

2013-02-03T13:42:29-07:00

I had an idea hit me the other day I thought I would pass on. With all the negative talk about the economy and electronic stores closing, it's going to be ****** for customers to experience your products (I spent a good 45 minutes at a Tweeter before I bought my Ref Series speakers). So my idea for Klipsch, what about decking out the back of a Mack truck with a home theater and bring your products to the people. Maybe you can park at a Home Depot and also give people ways to build a home theater in their basement or offer simple ways to enhance their living rooms where they currently watch tv and movies. You can also bring the truck to events, like up here in Boston we have food truck festivals. Maybe also offer demonstrations in the awesomeness of your speakers by plugging a guitar into the back of one? Maybe that's taking it too far. Anyway it just a thought from a fan. Thanks for reading.

Pair up a music library with each product that will "Show off" the qualities of each Klipsch product. [updated]

2013-01-27T17:13:39-07:00

Make it unquestionably obvious to even the most tone-def individuals that Klipsch = high quality audio. This could be as simple as a section on your website that will stream (with lots of buffering) or allow owners of Klipsch products to download a library of music that will make the particular Klipsch products they own shine. This would also be useful so that current owners would be able to show off there audio equipment with the best possible content (turning there friends and family into new customers). Effectively putting those kiosks from the sharper-image stores in every owners home.

Howard L. said:

Ultrasone has done a similar thing where they bundle a demo CD with every pair of headphones they sell. It could certainly help Klipsch to do the same and give out free test tracks with purchases in the highest audio quality possible (at least lossless files). That way, people will know how Klipsch products will sound like at their best. The test tracks could be on digital download, CD, or maybe even vinyl. The format should be whatever works best for the particular product.

Windows Phone Compatibility [updated]

2013-01-23T04:45:13-07:00

Release Windows Phone compatible headphones. All Windows Phone devices support a 3 Button controller and Mic. It is exactly the same as iPhone, the issue is iPhone has a different wiring than Android and Windows Phone. All current Android headphones are Single button. Please get to work on this. I am forced to use NOCS which suck, the Klipsch image S3 is awesome, just need a WP8 version.

This is what engineers are for. If they can design the towers in my living room , and the near weightless ear buds that sound so stunning they can send chills down me head to toe, they can build car speakers.

Maybe they need to go in the corners instead of rattling around in the door. Horns would be nice. Clean clear sound you can turn up as far as you want. I don't suppose we could have some miracle of active noise canceling, but while we are wishing, why not?

adjustable speakers for surround

2013-01-18T17:18:02-07:00

jeff grace suggested:
The idea behind this one is to have either two or 4 sections of speakers in half circle design that have drivers and horns in them that go up front and back or front ,back and sides to have a more immersive sound and can be put together at the buyers home. The subs would be floor or chair transducers that would create a more powerful bass under chairs or under the floor. that would shake the actual chairs or floor.

A couple idea's would be to have a Electrostatic Speaker to go against Martin Logan, with that type of design . And make it adjustable .

I would like Klipsch to develop a 3-way horn loaded speaker. This is a daunting task. Perhaps if it is a split unit, where the bass cabinet could effectively be the TV stand, or otherwise under the TV, and the top portion could either be above the TV, or split to each side as verticle tophats. - Mustang Guy

Anonymous said:

Yes this is needed but no MTM arrangement - make it vertical (horn tweeter and horn midrange). make sure that its no taller than 30 inches (so it can fit under a screen). however it can be fairly wide - so you can load a 15 or two 12's - with enough cabinet room to keep up with the Cornwalls. This would be nice indeed!

The new a5i sport

2013-01-16T10:23:12-07:00

Blaine suggested:
Are there plans to sell a non iphone/android a5i sport without the inline mic? I love the new design, but I don't need the inline mic as I think it gets in the way/adds weight when working out. I just use an apple ipod shuffle as I like to have as little as possible on me when working out. Even better yet, would be to work with apple and put their player right into the headphones somehow so there is only a cable from earbud to earbud like bluetooth earbuds. You really only need a volume rocker, forward, back, an on/off and a mini usb plug on the earpiece. It will add some weight to the earbuds (maybe on the top of the ear?) but would vastly reduce the amount of cable clutter. Either way, I can't wait to get the new sport version since my current s4i are awsome and while lifting are great, fall out when running.

I wish more products were made in the USA. [updated]

2013-01-11T21:12:06-07:00

I’ve owned several sets of Klipsch speakers. I purchased my first pair because they were made in the USA. The last sub I purchased was an SVS for the same reason. I’m currently in the market for bookshelf or in-wall speakers. If I can’t find a good pair made in the USA, my next choice is a product made in Canada.

Blake said:

Well, they still do make the Reference series in the Hope Klipsch factory. I will say though, that even though many of their products are made over sees, the quality has remained very high.

Mode M40s need re-tune, ANC needs to acutally cancel noise. And drop the dual driver design. [updated]

2013-01-06T20:19:51-07:00

The dual driver design and improper tuning leaves a very muddy sound and greatly recessed treble. These would probably improve if you used a single driver like the Image Ones or something along the lines. Also need to help the clamping force. And also need to use better paint that doesn't chip withing a month of using. The noise-cancel feature also needs to cancel the noise instead of boosting the bass to an intolerable degree of distortion. You present this product extremely well but it doesn't live up to the looks. It needs to be overhauled in my opinion. Style-driven ANC cans are still a small market and there is interest in it besides using Bose. You'd have a great product with some help under the hood.

Luke Spencer said:

If done right this could also slim down the design making them less bulky looking but still giving them the distinctive appearance and expected quality (if this can be done with a single driver).
