T5 Earphone Collective From Klipsch
15th August 2019
Consisting of four new earphone designs covering the T5 True Wireless, T5 Sport, T5 Neckband and T5 M Wired
Klipsch True Wireless (£175)
Arriving in its Zippo-style carry case acts as a wireless charging unit, supporting USB-C. You can listen for up to 32 hours. The T5 offers four integrated mics with cVc (clear voice chat) technology. The patented oval ear tips are aimed at noise isolation.
Bluetooth 5 is featured with built-in aptX. The True Wireless is also digital assistant ready – press to connect with the smart helper of your choice – and the Klipsch Connect App (available this autumn) lets you check the battery level, run firmware upgrades and adjust EQ settings. It’s also IPX4 rated, so sweat and water-resistant then.
Klipsch Sport (£110)
The Sport offers a secure fit, even when the wearer is undertaking a workout. Those oval ear tips are included again too plus a “smart cable management”. The pack also contains a pair of Comply Ts-100 Comfort tips.
Based upon a dynamic driver, the single lithium-ion battery is good for up to 10 hours of use.
The model offers built-in aptX and aptX HD Bluetooth 5 support and multi-point pairing, so you can simultaneously pair two devices. An integrated cVc mic, IPX4 rated sweat and water resistance plus connection to the upcoming Klipsch Connect App is included.
Klipsch Neckband (£115)
Includes a lightweight, hand-stitched, edge-treated leather neckband, which sits directly on your neck or tucks under your collar.
This approach enables up to 15 hours of listening. A built-in neck vibration feature notifies you of incoming calls and the integrated cVc dual mics are included.
Includes Bluetooth 5 complete with built-in support for aptX HD, rates IPX4, and works with the forthcoming Klipsch Connect App and integrated, three-button remote control.
Klipsch T5 M Wired (£70)
Uses a dynamic moving coil micro speaker driver design, together with oval ear tips. Add IPX4 rating plus a single-button mic/remote.
The Klipsch T5 Neckband, T5 Sport and T5 M Wired are now on sale in the UK.
The Klipsch T5 True Wireless is currently available to pre-order from UK Klipsch dealers and in stores from September 2019.
