they're also great for anyone who doesn't want the same product everyone
else has whether you're looking for in-ear
headphones to help you work out or just tune out with better sounding
music with two models to choose there's a klipsch in ear headphone made
just for you and we'll go over the two newest models
in the t5 ii line right here if you want to read more
about the new t5 ii series from klipsch be sure to click the link in the
description to be taken to the full written comparison
on audioadvice.com along with this comparison you'll find hundreds of other
reviews comparisons buyer's guides and much more
now let's get started
when it comes to in-ear headphones for hands-free calls or for listening to
music klipsch offers key advantages over the
competition with more than 70 years of audio
experience the new t5 ii true wireless series offers legendary
sound you've come to know from klipsch without having to mess around with
cables having aptx high quality bluetooth
or lossless aac also means you won't lose audio quality
simply because you've cut the wire the models we are comparing today are the
klipsch t5 ii true wireless and the t5 ii true
wireless sport they both feature true wireless
bluetooth functionality but each one is priced with the features that fit best
with your style and your needs first we'll begin with
some of the key differences between the first generation and the new generation
then we'll discuss the key differences between the two
newest models in this series when klipsch redesigned the first gen
t5 true wireless they started from inside the earpiece
first klipsch reduced the size of the battery to achieve an earpiece that's 25
percent smaller than the first gen t5 you still get the same eight hour
battery life as the first gen but now you get the benefits of a
smaller earpiece this makes the new klitsch t5 ii substantially more
comfortable to wear all day long klipsch also improved the wireless
performance you see most wireless in-ears use an internal antenna
design but this typically interferes with
wireless connectivity to solve this problem klipsch uses a
stainless steel antenna on the exterior instead this antenna is
similar to the ones you'll find in high-end smartphones so the earphones
get near perfect signal coverage without any disruptions klipsch also
increase the wall thickness and all the weather sealing required to achieve high
ip ratings across the entire series so they're all waterproof and dust
resistant to varying degrees all of these innovations actually go
against making a product smaller but klipsch
still managed to reduce the size across the entire series to give you more
comfortable fits and a better experience overall the next
change is the ear tips most earphones and earbuds are round which becomes
uncomfortable or even unbearable to wear after extended use that's because your
ear canals are actually oval shaped and klipsch gets it both models in the
t5 ii series come with klipsch's exclusive patented
oval shaped ear tips for the absolute best comfort
these soft silicone ear tips fit deeper and they also come in more custom sizes
too so not only do you get small medium large you also get plus
sizes with six ear tips total you can really
customize your fit and having more options to select the
correct ear tip size for the unique contours of your ear canal
is the closest thing you can get to the experience of having custom
in-ear monitors but for a fraction of the price
now like many of us at audio advice i'm a musician too
so i'm familiar with custom molded in-ear monitors
and i have to say these patented oval shaped tips from klipsch are not only very
soft and comfortable i found that they actually do reduce ear
fatigue and they also provide an excellent seal that's close to what
you'll find from custom molds these actually provided the best noise
isolation i've personally experienced from the universal ear tip
so i love this now let's get in the call quality
some earphones like airpods or even airpods pro use dual microphone patterns
to perform an advanced signal process called beam forming
beamforming works by using microphones one and two
to compare the differences in sounds where one microphone locates where your
voice is coming from while the other picks up the external
noise and filters it out klipsch takes the microphone pattern to
the next levels of call quality in both models both the klipsch t5 ii
and t5 ii sport use quad beam forming microphone patterns for the clearest
sound quality on phone calls finally let's talk about sound quality
at audio advice we love when technologies trickle down
from more expensive high performance gear
in this case klipsch's proprietary custom driver from their larger
hp3 over ear headphones trickles down into each t5 ii model
but with a smaller format the t5 ii series uses klipsch's ultra thin
diaphragm and unlike most earbuds or earphones that use a plastic diaphragm
the ultra thin klipsch diaphragm is made from a proprietary
biodynamic material that allows it to act as a true piston as it moves
back and forth for consistent never changing
stable motion compared to standard plastic earbuds
the klipsch biodynamic driver is nearly six times more rigid
this means higher resolution less distortion at higher volumes and a
broader frequency response from 10 hertz to 19 kilohertz
so think of music with deeper sub bass frequency content
clearer vocals and enhanced details in the higher frequencies
but what really sets these two apart will be how well they fit in with your
lifestyle they come in a variety of cool colors
and aesthetics to complement your unique style
and the prices will reflect the features you'll use so you'll never pay more for
something bloated with extra features that you won't ever use
first up we have the klipsch t-5 ii true wireless
this one has tactile physical push controls for the easiest user experience
and it comes with a charging case that will fit in your pocket
and give you 24 hours of use while it's in the case
the t5 ii comes in two colors gunmetal or silver
for anyone who wants the best call quality and the most comfort for
less than 200 dollars the t5 ii packs tons of performance for longer phone
conversations compared to the earbud styles of airpods
the t5 ii true wireless stands out for a lot of reasons
first the t5 ii is more comfortable with six pairs of ear tips
and the fit is more customizable and the sound installation is
best in class second it packs high performance beam forming microphones
with four high quality microphones your voice will be crystal clear on phone
calls and transparency mode will pipe in clear ambient noise into your headset
when you do want to hear the sounds around you in your environment
not only that but the new t5 ii earpieces also have the high ip rating of ip67 so
they're all waterproof and dust proof next up we have the t5 ii
true wireless sport edition with this model you get everything that makes the
t5 ii great but klipsch takes the charging case to the next level on this sport
edition the charging case on this one is a usbc
and a wireless qi charging system the case is also watertight and gasket
sealed to protect your klipsch from water and dust
so both the earphones and the case here score a high ip67 rating
klipsch went a step further to make sure your earphones are well protected while
they're inside the case too they engineered a really clever moisture
removal system on this one to absorb moisture from within
the case uses a system of blue desiccant silica gel beads that removes moisture
and dries out your earphones for you the moisture removal system is also a
rechargeable system so with just a quick moment in the microwave the
silica beads will be charged and ready to absorb moisture again some earphones
like beats powerbeats pro also include a case that protects your
earphones when working out but their case doesn't protect the
earbuds against liquids like sweat and they don't even give you a
rechargeable moisture removal system that dries out the earphones for you
with the t5 ii sport edition you also get more color options to match your high
performance style too it comes in black gray or green
for less than 250 dollars we think this one stands out as one of the best
earphones to work out with and when you need a break to answer a
phone call you still get the same clear call quality of the t5
ii true wireless with the benefits of a waterproof and dust proof case
that also dries out your earphones so with this one you'll never have to worry
whether you're looking for a wireless in-ear headphone to help you work out
or something that's going to let you enjoy the clearest phone conversations
with the best microphones on the market we think there really is a klipsch that
will suit your needs they both sound great and their fits are
just excellent so choosing the right one for you just
comes down to how you plan to use it so if you have any questions about which
one of these might work best for how you plan to use it
