Applications:
For listeners out and about, good isolation is key to avoid cranking up your headphones to ear-bleed decibels merely to overcome environmental ambient noises. The Klipsch M40 Mode headphones feature 'active' battery-powered noise-cancellation [NC] along with additional noise-suppressing sealed-back earcup construction that affords excellent privacy for airline and road travel, meaning you can listen at quieter volumes with less fatigue while preserving your long-term hearing. The Klipsch Mode also features an on-board iPhone / iPad telecommunications microphone cable for making calls with a 3-button skip/ track forward / volume controller located on the cord. The M40 Mode's fairly unique audio design features a dual-driver 15mm tweeter in tandem with a co-axial 40mm woofer array that pumps out a nice, big bottom-end for music. However, the overall tonal balance seems geared for maximum voice/speech recognition and doesn't realize a whole lot of brightness or upper treble extension. That might perhaps be considered a good thing for listeners sensitive to piercing highs seeking to avoid sibilance or treble screech.
The Klipsch M40 Mode noise-cancelling headphones come in a crisp black-on-copper look that shares cosmetics with the rest of Klipsch Reference [in-ear] line and neatly sets them apart from the the pack. The M40 Mode's oversize, extra-plush sealed earcup construction covers the entire earlobes on almost all wearers which contributes mightily to its excellent environmental noise attenuation properties. The powered noise-cancellation runs for up to 45hrs on one AAA battery. As a huge plus, the Klipsch can also be used without a battery as straight 'passive' stereo headphones so your music can continue unabated for the entire duration of your trip --something that not all NC headphones can claim. High-grade genuine leather earpad cushions and headband frames surround your listening exprience with comfort, even during those long hours aboard transcontinental flights. Detachable 'audiophile-grade' OFC headphone cables (one includes the Apple controller on-cord) allows for long product use life and easy cord replacement if ever needed. The provided leather travel case is a slim-profile design that contains all essential M40 Mode accessories like airline adapters or extra cords. The 2-year manufacturer's warranty remains free only with a Klipsch 'authorized dealer' purchase receipt -- like the one you'll get here at HeadRoom!
