Klipsch T5 II True Wireless ANC

The Klipsch T5 II ANC are decent for commute and travel. They're fairly small, lightweight, and feel well-built. However, some users may not like their deep in-ear fit. Their ANC also struggles to block out the low rumble of bus or plane engines, and their continuous battery life of under five hours may not be enough for long trips. On the upside, their carrying case holds roughly three additional charges.

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.

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 justify. If you’re after earbuds that you can control to some degree via head gestures, there are few alternatives.
