Klipsch has introduced two wired headphones in its Stratos Series. The Klipsch Stratos HP-2 and Stratos HP-3 both use two-way coaxial driver arrays. US availability is scheduled for December 2026, with announced prices of $1000 for the HP-2 and $1200 for the HP-3.
The Stratos HP-2 has a closed-back design, with a 40mm bio-cellulose driver handling midrange and bass frequencies. The Stratos HP-3 uses a semi-open-back enclosure and a 50mm bio-cellulose mid/bass driver. In each model, the mid/bass unit is paired with a 10mm dynamic tweeter.
Both headphones have machined aluminium yokes and wooden earcups accented with copper rings. Their headbands are covered in protein leather and use open-cell foam cushioning. Microsuede wraps the earpads on each model.
Each pair of headphones is supplied with two detachable cables, both featuring braided nylon construction. One cable is terminated in a 3.5mm connector, while the other has a balanced 4.4mm connector. A 3.5mm-to-6.35mm adapter is also included with each model.
