Klipsch T5 II Mclaren review thread
I got my pair about a week ago and for the most part they are pretty good minus a few quirks. The changing box they come in is massive, like much larger than I expected. This along with its boxy shape makes it not exactly the most comfortable thing to put into a pocket. Also I'm not sure the foam tips were something that they had in mind when they designed the charging box as at least for me the buds don't actually fit in the changing case when the foam tips are on. The sound transparency mode does work but its not great. It tends to amplify background so anything like moving air or water somewhat overwhelms everything else . On top of this it feels like it either tries to cut the sound or change the audio mix anytime your phone gets an audio notification which can be somewhat jarring. The wings that come with the buds don't actually secure to the earbuds in any real way, which means they will start to fall off into your ear as you wear and press the buttons on the buds. Never have I felt that they were about to fall out of my ear because of this and switching to the smallest size helped for the most part but until I did it was a minor annoyance. Otherwise they are pretty comfortable to have in and I more or less wear them for my entire 9 hour work shift. Pairing is pretty quick and easy and I have yet to have any disconnect or de-sync issue like I had was my older cheaper pair of true wireless. Sound quality is pretty solid I do wish they had a little better bass, but its not so bad that I feel that I'm missing parts of the song because of it Call quality seems to be pretty good in all but louder environments which I cant really blame them for. some of the places I work at are just loud and just not great places to take phone calls from. For the most part for my first pair of high end earbuds I'm pretty happy with the product I got. I hope this helps More on reddit.com

Klipsch T5 II ANC McLaren Edition or One Plus Buds Pro 2
Don't know if you have bought them yet. Personally, I had issues with two pairs of the Klipsch models you're looking at. Battery going out too soon, cutting in and out with Bluetooth. Overall, after going through two pairs I gave up on them. I currently use the Sony Linkbuds S (got them on sale). I've also used the Anker Liberty Pro II and if you can get the III's on sale they would be worth it as well. More on reddit.com

Check the silicon wing-piece. It blocked the charger on mine if it wasn’t aligned right

Assuming you mean they’re the same as the waterproof ones.

July 7, 2020 -

Hey everyone, if you have received your headphones could you post your thoughts?

There seems to be radio silence on behalf of the tech sites so I wanted to hear from the consumers before I get my pair (which seems like it won't be for another month due to delays).

Edit: well I got my headphones and overall I'm very pleased with them! They sound great, have solid Bluetooth connection, pretty good mic quality and a transparency mode that serves its purpose just fine. The fit is great but like the others have said, the ear wingtips do fall off when they're out of your ears. While this is annoying, I've learned to reposition them before putting them in their case.

I'm awaiting a response from klipsch on this issue, maybe they can release new wingtips that stay on better to help with this issue. Other than that they're great, I'd give them an 8.5/10.

Update:

So... I was so happy with these headphones and then all of a sudden... They died! Won't even charge anymore. Fortunately I'm still within the return period with world wide stereo so I'm going through the rma process now.

Update #2: Sheesh my second pair bricked as well! These headphones seem great but obviously have issues, hard to believe klipsch hasn't responded to them yet

Hey, I'd be happy to share my thoughts. I'll try to be as thorough as I can. $249 for a pair of headphones isn't paltry so most consumers, like myself, have high expectations. The fact you can't find a review out there that doesn't seem like it's been paid for is a little bit concerning, in my opinion. Those types of reviews I have only seen a handful, and they have nothing negative to say whatsoever. My previous pair of wireless earbuds were the Jabra Elite Sport. To begin with, I'll say I never purchased a Klipsch product before, but knowing the legacy of their brand, I kind of expected a little more from the entire consumer experience. As everyone knows, they were delayed for quite a while. I called customer service about 20 times and never spoke to anyone. I messaged klipschaudio on instagram and was only then able to find out I can expect it mid to late September. They also told me I would receive an email with a coupon for 35% off any Klipsch product, that email never came. That being said, I was very much excited to receive the T5 IIs, and was ready to give them an objective chance because I knew these earphones were not going to be of poor quality. Plus, the delay was entirely out of Klipsch's hands, even if they were a little bit hopeful with an August 10 release date. The Good: Sound quality is pretty nice, very clear instrument separation. Case and charging pad is very aesthetically pleasing. Unboxing experience was actually something I didn't expect to enjoy as much as I did. Comes with 6 sets of Klipsch patented eartips and 1 of comfort foam tips, so they can fit pretty much any set of ears. I have seen some people complain about transparency mode and I'll get to that later, but it does what it is supposed to. It's also very easy to toggle on/off, just a press of the left earbud turns it on. It is definitely useful in the sense that you don't need to take them out to, for example, answer a question from someone. It comes with some unique Klipsch & McLaren stickers and a metal card of authenticity. The Bad: Depending on what music you listen to, you may find yourself listening at maximum volume more often than not. I listen to a fair amount of classic rock and live psychadelic rock from the 1960s and 70s, namely the Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers Band, and Pink Floyd. I find that even on remastered and released material, the sound is clear but definitely not overwhelming and only at full volume and after customizing the EQ slightly, just barely surrounding. On modern music, despite the genre, I still find I have to be listening at 85% or higher to ensure the surrounding noise doesn't disturb listening, and on quiet songs, that hope is all but gone. The bass does leave a bit to be desired and I have found very few times, even listening with my eyes closed, where I felt enveloped in sound. Only when the surrounding noise was at a minimum, really. As I noted, there are 7 eartips they give you out of the box. The Klipsch oval ear tips are all different sizes from Small to Large+, but that really means you'll only need one or two, depending on your ear size. Once you find your size, they do form a "seal", but it is not leakproof, or even close. Comparing the size that fit my ears, (Large), and the comfort foams, it was kind of remarkable how much sound gets in with their "patented" ear tips. I find it wildly unbelievable that Lando Norris or Carlos Sainz could wear these while driving a Formula 1 vehicle. I can hear myself typing even with the volume nearly full and I do have the comfort foams. I messed around with every size and the comfort foam tips before settling on those, and as rokatoro noted, you cannot fit the earbuds in the case properly with the comfort foam tips on. As such, you have to be very particular with how you put them in the case so they can disconnect and charge. It has only happened a couple times since putting those tips on, but they do disconnect from the charger and connect to your phone if they move around even slightly. The case looks cool, that's about as far as it goes in the positive department. Definitely way too big to comfortably have in your pocket. Even with the Klipsch oval tips, the earbuds have to be placed in the case carefully and cannot just be put in hurriedly. The moisture removal system is unique, but how functional were they expecting it to be? It makes a sound like you're twirling a rainstick every time you open it. The charging pad, very nice addition, comes with a cord that is about 10 inches, maybe a foot, long. It's really only usable on a desk if you have an outlet immediately next to where you can plug it in, plugging into a computer, or you have a docking station. The wing tips serve no purpose in keeping the earbuds in your ears. While they have not fallen out for me, every time I take them off, the wing tips have slid off a bit towards the ear. Also, you pretty much have to have the small wing tips on to fit the earbuds in the case, and again, they will only fit with the Klipsch patented ear tips. You can fit them with the comfort tips, but it is not straightforward and requires more finicking than you want to while putting your earbuds away. All in all, for $250 earphones, I am pretty disappointed and will return these. Considering the experience I had with these pretty much from the time I ordered them and now owning them, I probably won't purchase from Klipsch again. I was contemplating the Jabra Elite Active 75T before purchasing the T5 II McLarens, but upon seeing such a reputable speaker brand as Klipsch sponsor McLaren, I figured it had to be a solid product. After receiving it, I can pretty confidently say that McLaren's drivers only might have worn these for a promotional filming/photoshoot and if they even use Klipsch products, it'd be the T10s, which aren't due until most likely 2021. They also carry a price tag of at least $600, so they better damn well be better than these. Regardless, i did not purchase these simply because they partnered with McLaren and I wanted the headphones McLaren's drivers are using, but as a consumer, you hope to have some reasonable amount of faith that when a company says a product is used by "XYZ", that it is actually used by them. After receiving these and giving them a week's worth of careful attention, I can comfortably advise you to buy another product. If you'd like to spend the money to have "sport" earbuds that do not provide an adequate amount of sound isolation and underwhelm, ultimately, on providing immersive sound, have at but don't say I didn't warn ya.
