After a long hiatus from the headphone market, American audio brand Klipsch is making a high‑profile comeback at CES 2026 with its new Atlas series of hi‑fi headphones.
The new range, offering three models, continues the Heritage lineup as Klipsch celebrates its 80th anniversary this year.
The Atlas HP‑1 (pictured below) is a wireless over-ear model featuring active noise cancellation, lightweight construction and extended battery life.
It supports spatial audio formats and is designed for long listening sessions, making it a competitor to Sony’s WH‑1000XM6 and Bose’s QuietComfort Ultra.
For those who want a bass-heavy sound, the HP‑2 (below) is a closed-back wired model tuned for immersive low-end performance without overpowering mids and highs.
At the top of the range, the HP‑3 (below) targets critical listeners with a semi-open-back design, Alcantara perforated earcups and a cushioned headband for comfort during long sessions. The HP‑3 comes with a dedicated headphone stand.
All three models retain the classic Klipsch styling, though pricing has yet to be revealed. Availability in the US is expected in summer 2026.
CES also gives Klipsch a platform to showcase a suite of new and concept audio products.
Highlights include Music City Series II portable speakers with Auracast multi-device streaming, updated tabletop speakers (The One IV and The Three IV), a weatherproof Flexus Element soundbar for outdoor use, and premium hi‑fi concepts under the Reference Signature and Project Apollo banners.
