Klipsch T5 II True Wireless

“Smarts, great sound, and a stylish design put the T5 II ANC on our wish list.”

Great fit ; Inconspicuous design ; Great sound quality ; Solid battery life ; Fun charging case

No wireless charging ; No active noise cancellation ; Call quality is not great

Remarkable audio with Dirac HD ; Premium design and feel ; Automated commands are a boon

Pricey compared with competitors ; Average battery and no fast-charge ; ANC is solid but not the best

While the Klipsch offer excellent sound quality, a premium design, decent noise-cancellation, and some unique features, they’re not as successful across the board as Sony’s WF-1000XM4 and the extra cost associated with them is more difficult to...

Sculpted but balanced audio ; Supports gesture controls

Expensive ; Noise cancellation is just average for the price ; App frequently pauses

Despite solid audio performance, the Klipsch T5 II True Wireless ANC Earhpones are priced too high for what they deliver in the noise cancellation department.

Bass-forward but balanced sound signature ; Waterproof earpieces ; Nice haul of included accessories ; App with adjustable EQ

Sport model adds waterproof case and better in-ear fit for $30 more ; Bass-forward sound signature isn't for audiophiles

The T5 II True Wireless Earphones delivers strong, bass-forward audio from fully waterproof earpieces, though Klipsch offers an even more exercise-friendly model for just a little more money.

Superb sound ; Good active noise-cancelling (ANC) ; Great case

Rather pricey ; Still no ear detection

The price jump is hard to ignore, but that's the only real bothersome point about Klipsch's superb wireless earbuds - which add active noise-cancelling (ANC) to an already stellar package - which are otherwise some of the most compelling true wireless...

Great sound quality ; Stunning and robust charging case ; Wireless charging ; Lightweight design ; Solid battery life

No active noise-cancelling (ANC) ; No automatic play/pause when removed from ears

The first-generation Klipsch T5 was one of our favourite pairs of true wireless earbuds. The second-generation takes what was great and refines the rest. It's a truly stunning pair of 'buds.

The coolest-looking charging case out there ; Clear, detailed sound ; Strong battery life ; Impressive call quality ; Extensive control scheme

Missing modern features

Great performance in a stylishly retro package, the Klipsch T5 II True Wireless are one of the best-looking and sounding wireless earbuds available.

Great controls. ANC can reduce ambient chatter. Graphic EQ and presets available via companion app. Good build quality with stable, breathable fit.

Mediocre noise handling. ANC struggles to block out bass-range noise. Bad passive soundstage. No multi-device pairing.

The Klipsch T5 II ANC are alright for neutral sound. Out of the box, they have a bass-heavy sound profile that delivers extra boom to your mixes while sibilants like cymbals are dull. Vocals and lead instruments are reproduced fairly clearly, though....

Good noise isolation. Portable design. Consistent audio delivery. Stable in-ear fit. Graphic EQ and presets available.

Mediocre microphone recording quality. May not isolate against bus or plane engines. Control scheme isn't the easiest to use. Terrible passive soundstage.

The Klipsch T5 II True Wireless are decent for mixed usage. Their portable design makes it easy to bring them on-the-go, and their stable fit is suitable for intense workouts at the gym. They can passively isolate against most noises found in an office...
