Klipsch Atlas HP-1 hands-on: A return to hi-fi headphones at CES 2026
"Without going into specifics, Klipsch says the HP-1 is designed for both daily wear and travel. This is thanks to the combination of light weight, comfort and "standout" battery life. Inside, coaxial drivers provide the company's warm signature sound profile. Third-party support for spatial audio and hearing compensation is also in the works. This concludes the info Klipsch announced this week."
"After seeing the HP-1 in person at CES, I can tell you they look quite similar to Bowers & Wilkins recent headphones designs. Klipsch has opted for wood accents on the outside of the ear cups, likely as a nod to its speaker heritage. But the combination of leather and metal, as well as the headband and ear cups, remind me a lot of B&W's Px7."
Klipsch will release the Atlas hi-fi series in summer 2026, including wireless HP-1 and closed and semi-open back models. The HP-1 is a wireless model with active noise cancelation designed for daily wear and travel thanks to light weight, comfort, and standout battery life. Coaxial drivers deliver Klipsch's warm signature sound profile. Third-party support for spatial audio and hearing compensation is planned. The design uses wood accents on ear cups, leather and metal elements, and a headband reminiscent of premium competitors. Demos used lossless USB-C playback and highlighted balanced highs and mids with controlled bass.
