REVIEW PAIR OF TRUE WIRELESS KLIPSCH T5 II AND KLIPSCH T5 II SPORT HEADPHONES GOOD SOUND QUALITY, WATERPROOF

Evaluate the pair of true wireless headphones Klipsch T5 II and Klipsch T5 II Sport, with a good sound quality, waterproof, excellent charging dock.

Klipsch T5 is a high-quality headphone from Klipsch the US with good sound quality and luxurious design hardware with high perfection. After the success of version 1, the company continued to launch two upgraded versions of the II series in the Klipsch T5 II and Klipsch T5 II Sport versions to satisfy customers and audiophiles.

Build

The front of the Klipsch T5 II and T5 II Sport headphones are the same, but the Sport version is a bit bigger and whiter, with more prominent waterproof features.

The back is the product’s basic features such as waterproofing, four support mics, and 24-hour battery life. With T5 sport, there is additional wireless charging feature in the dock.

Inside the product, we can see that the T5 II vs. T5 II Sport both have a set of 5 pairs of high-quality silicone buttons, 1 type C – type C charging cord, one USB-type C conversion jack, and a full user manual. Particularly for the T5 II Sport version, there are three more ear hooks and one pair of sponges.

ABOUT DESIGN

When holding these two products in my hand, I see that the appearance of the T5 II vs. T5 II Sport is the same; the difference between each of these two is in the support ear hooks on the Sport version. Many of you think that just lifting the two ears of the regular T5 III series to sport can be connected, but it’s not. When connecting, the company has designed a separate recognition chip, so it will be named Klipsch T5 II and Klipsch T5 Sport.

The two upgraded versions have the same appearance vs. weight and design hardware and are basically like twins. Compared to the first Klipsch T5 version, which was somewhat large and worn, the T5 II version has a neat and slim design, but it is very sturdy and tight on the ears.

The ear canal part of the T5II is ½ of the size compared to the 1st version, so the sound is sharper and more powerful inside the headset.

The company includes six pairs of silicone tips on the T5 II and an extra pair of sponges on the T5 II Sport, so you can rest assured when wearing the headset that is snug on the ear. The headphones can provide passive noise cancellation up to -22dB.

The outer cover of the housing has a very nice laser engraved Klipsch logo. In my hand is a striking and luxurious silver-gray version. The edge is sharp and delicately plated with shiny metal.

The outer housing is milled aluminum, so the weight of the earphone is very light and small. Indeed the company has made a special improvement and impressed the user right at the first beautiful things.

The design of the charging box of the T5 II and T5 II Sport

The charging box of the T5 II version does not have many analytical points when the size of the box is still the same as version 1. The inner part is covered with white hard plastic to increase durability and reduce weight, and at the same time, look more luxurious than before.

The outer surface is covered with shiny scratched metal, similar to a Zippo lighter in hand.

With the Sport version is a big difference compared to the regular version. The charging box of the Klipsch T5 II True Wireless Sport Headphones is in a hard plastic form, with a moisture-proof desiccant inside; the opening and closing of the lid create a classic and strange look like opening a wartime bidong.

A rather strange point in this Sport version is that the Type C charging pin is located inside the dock, so you have to open the cover normally to charge the wire. However, the company has upgraded this charging dock to charge wirelessly via the Qi standard.

Features of Klipsch T5 II and Klipsch T5 II Sport

TECHNOLOGY

Using the Signal-Boost Antenna chip, which is completely attached to the outside of the headset similar to a Smartphone, the product’s Bluetooth detection interference has been eliminated.

Equipped with new generation Bluetooth 5.0 codec AptX, SBC, AAC can transmit signals stably and without disconnection. At the same time, it works well on most of today’s smart mobile devices such as Laptops, PC, Mobile, …

Another advantage of the upgraded version is that the company builds an ecosystem with the Klipsch Connect app to help you have more options when setting up controls and checking genuine products.

CONTROL

Klipsch T5 II and T5 II Sport headphones still use physical keys to control tasks:

• Stop receiving calls.
• Increase or decrease volume.
• Pause music playback.
• Switch tracks.
• Turn on the virtual assistant, On/Off TRANSPARENCY simple.

I prefer to touch on Sennheiser and Apple lines, but the physical buttons are also very neat and accurate.

On the regular T5 II, the keys are softer, pressing a little bit dull, and on the T5 II Sport, the click feels more bouncy and more hands-free. Compared to life 1, it is not much different, but this slight improvement will help you enjoy it more, especially holding the headset in your hand is very compact and enjoyable.

We can use each headset independently in these two upgraded versions without fear of distinguishing between the main and the secondary; the stable and fast 5.0 connection helps you not drop the connection when moving.

In more detail, I will send you a clip-on using this headset in the most detail in the control section.

IMPROVED WATER RESISTANCE STANDARD IP67

Waterproof of Klipsch T5 II and T5 II Sport with IP67 waterproof standard can resist sweat, spill, dirt, so it is suitable for sports. Compared to T5 generation 1, only IPX4 rating will not be able to satisfy athletes. The T5 II Sport version has an additional waterproof and tighter ear hook, and the charging dock has a perfect waterproof hard plastic part.

The sport version is used to insert, not open; the dock is hard plastic, not metal like the standard T5 II version. The contact part of the top cover with the bottom cover has rubber seals to prevent water ingress. In particular, there are microscopic desiccant particles inside the dock in a plastic blister that a microwave oven can dry.

The charging port of the T5 II Sport is different from the normal version because the charging port is located inside, so it is a bit inconvenient to plug in the charger and have to open the cover. In return, we can better protect the circuit of the charging dock from water.

MICRO VOICE

Klipsch T5 II has good conversation ability using the latest noise cancellation technology cVc 8.0 Quad-Mic; each headset has two microphones available. The first time the company has upgraded on each headset with two noise-canceling dual mics, so you will feel the conversation much better than the 1st generation.

Going to a crowded, bustling place, having more mics, good passive noise cancellation will help us not be interrupted by important negotiations.

BATTERY LIFE

Battery life with the T5 II is usually similar to that of the T5 due to the same charging dock and traditional battery technology. Total use time of 32 hours, each charge can be heard for 8 hours; in addition, the charging dock gives you three more charges.

Upgrading to the Type C charging standard from the first generation of fully wireless headphones, just 15 minutes of fast charging can be used for 1 hour. The weight of the headset is light, only 5g on one ear, dock.

When I opened the T5 II Sport headset, I was quite surprised when I opened the dock to see the charging place. We also easily understand the problem in that the company wants to create the perfect waterproof product when inside the charging dock, there are hygroscopic particles. This design on the Sport version is really special and first appeared on the headset.

At the same time, you will be able to use wireless charging technology for those who choose this inconvenience, which is very convenient on the T5 Sports product with Qi wireless charging technology.

Note for those of you who use the Sport version with rubber buttons around the ears and the box’s lid; sometimes, we don’t notice that the rubber covers the charging pin so that it won’t charge. Then need to adjust it to be able to charge normally.

EXPERIENCE

After one week of product experience, I found that the highlight when wearing the ear is very comfortable, both the normal and Sport versions. The rubber stopper is quite soft, making me think of the comfort of Bose earplugs with soft silicone or hook-shaped buttons.

When playing sports with IP67 waterproof, you can rest assured that water will limit contact with the headset’s circuit. Light splashes of sweat or water will not affect the product. However, note that you absolutely must not immerse your ears in water or drop the dock into the water. Because at that time, the headset will be overwhelmed and soaked in water for a long time, damaging the circuit and oxidizing the housing shell.

Sound quality Klipsch T5 II and Klipsch T5 II Sport

To evaluate the sound quality of these two T5 II headphones, I used familiar versions such as Hello, Santorini, Violin Concerto, Solo Violin, Alone, Fate, Where’s The Lover’s Hair, with lossless quality.

The Klipsch T5 II, True Wireless headset version, uses the 5mm Dynamic Moving Coil Micro Speaker Driver to improve the Bass range with good depth and a spacious and airy soundstage.

If the T5 II has a soft and round bass band, the Sport version has stronger violence than a more personality.

The mid-range on the t5 II is sweeter, neater, and quieter than the T5 II Sport, so the European and Asian vocal tracks have a high harmony that attracts listeners right from the first verses.

The treble band blends in the familiar and intimate violin solo. When listening to the violin symphony, the detail and separation are very emotional.

The stage soundstage of the Klipsch series has always been appreciated for its ability to reproduce a wide and airy stage, listening for a long time without getting tired. That is a rare American headphone line that is highly appreciated by the Asian audio community for its ability to show the mid-range and stage dynamics.

With more demanding music like symphony or audiophile, the detail is still not enough to satisfy the listener, especially when the T5 II Sport version has a bit of bass encroachment, making the mid blurry when listening to music with many instruments and levels of high detail.

Conclude

The improvement to the Klipsch T5 company focuses a lot on appearance, design, and outstanding sound quality and keeps up with technology. So for those using the 1 T5 true wireless version, the upgrade will be very valuable.

Those who need to listen to the normal music, listen to multi-music, and focus on using and enjoying music more will choose the T5 II. For those of you who play sports and exercise a lot, the T5 sport is a perfect choice, so remember, this is the first headset in the world that can have such a comprehensive water resistance mode.

Because it is a latecomer, many technologies such as active noise cancellation need to be supported and included in the following product, hoping that Klipsch audio company will always satisfy listeners.

You should experience and admire the product; we will see the beauties and improved features that are worth and worth upgrading.
