Klipsch T5 True Wireless

The Klipsch T5 are good for sports. Thanks to their portable and breathable design, these headphones can be used for physical activity, although better options are available. They're only rated IPX4 for water resistance, which isn't that great for sports headphones.

The Klipsch T5 True Wireless earphones sound excellent and look cool, but are priced just a little too high.

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.

The Klipsch T5 True Wireless are rich-sounding earphones offering decent battery life. Wireless performance is pretty good and sound quality is strong. However, we’re not fans of the on-bud controls, nor the lack of active noise cancellation
