DigiFi have announced their latest wireless audio products, based on Kleer’s lossless technology. The Digital Opera S2 and iPod-compatible Digital Opera S5 each come with a wireless transmitter dongle; the S2’s plugs into a standard 3.5mm headphone socket, while the S5’s uses an iPod’s dock connector and supports remote-control.
If the lossless wireless sound offered by Sleek Audio’s W-1 adapter appeals, but your budget doesn’t exactly stretch to the $320 the company asks for a set of SA6 earphones and the wireless system, DigiFi’s Digital Opera earphones may fit the bill. First announced back in May, up until now the earphones had only been available in Korea; now, Kleer themselves are offering them – together with other products using their lossless technology – in the US.
After our earpiphony back in October with Sleek Audio’s SA6 customizable earphones, we’ve been waiting eagerly for their wireless adapter. Created using Kleer lossless technology, unlike the Bluetooth A2DP profile there’s no unwanted compression involved; the range is meant to be better, too. Can the Sleek Audio Wireless W-1 setup live up to our great expectations?
When we tested Sleek Audio’s SA6 headphones back in October the one significant improvement we wished for was a wireless option. Of course, at the time we knew that Sleek had been working with Kleer on just such a solution; the Sleek Audio Wireless adapter arrived at SlashGear today, promising CD-quality audio, and while it’s too soon for a full review we wanted to share the unboxing video with you.

If you didn’t read our interview with the Sleek Audio founders last week, or our review of the Sleek Audio SA6 in-ear monitor earphones on Monday, you might not know that the company’s wireless music adapter went up for pre-order last week. Sleek Audio have officially announced the adapter, which uses Kleer’s lossless wireless technology to transmit CD-quality audio.
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.
