Klipsch wins the race

I previously purchased the T5 True wireless and had a tug-of-war relationship with them. They'd have problems connecting, staying connected, and sometimes staying in my ears. All that vanished when I received the Mclaren version of the new T5 True Wireless Sport 2. The design is sleek, discreet, and comfortable. I love having a variety of earbuds to switch out and try on. The best part about these is that they maintain a stable connection. The quality of sound is above all else, however. I can play my favorite music and scores while writing my novel, outside for a long distance run, or when I just need to take a quick stroll to the grocery store. I'm even trying to amp myself up to jog in the rain knowing that my earphones will be safe with the water resistance design. I was not expecting a small, metal plaque of sorts to display the authenticity of the product. I thought that was really neat! The transparency mode was another cool addition too. I've never owned a pair of wireless ear buds that were capable of doing so (then again these are my third pair of true wireless earbuds ever). You can hear all the noise going on around you, as long as your music isn't too loud. That said, I'm pleased to have this option despite my hesitation to take full advantage of it. I can say that these are what I've been waiting for from Klipsch. I've been buying their product for years. Great quality of sound and build. While I had issues with the first T5 true wireless buds, these new ones have restored my faith in Klipsch's route in pursuing true wireless models. I will continue to support their development and product.
Pros: battery life, Controls, Fit, Sound quality
Cons: Ear wings tend to slide off, Need more memory foam sizes/options
I would recommend this to a friend!

A Road Warrior’s Perspective
on May 10, 2021

As a seasoned, long-haul international traveler, I hope this review will be received as constructive criticism, and not Social Media shaming.
I have been a fan of Klipsch products for decades. When I was presented with the opportunity to purchase these McLaren Sport TII Wireless Earbuds, I gladly accepted.
Pro: As always, the sound quality is superior to almost anything else I have purchased or tested. The mid-range and high-end audio is particularly crisp and clean sounding, and the bass is good (not great, but good). The case is unique and the fact that it absorbs the perspiration and any other moisture is exactly what other brands should consider to extend the life of these audio accessories.
Cons: Where do I begin? The most frustrating issue is the rubber placeholders surrounding the earbuds. Brand new placeholders sit properly at first, however, extended use causes them to expand (I believe it this is due to the body heat your ears emit during use). Because of the expansion of the rubber placeholder, the earbuds slip out of position and resetting them is nearly impossible to get right. Because they surround the buds, once they slip out of place, the microphone ports get covered and hands-free phone calls become impossible.
Next is the fact that once they are replaced in the charging case, they do not successfully disconnect from the Bluetooth connection and what ends up happening is that they stay connected unless you turn the Bluetooth switch off the iPhone, or “Forget This Device” to keep them from reconnecting to the phone. This they are constantly in a state of searching for a connection and wears out the charge and the case. I would think that once they are secured inside the case, Bluetooth functionality would automatically be disabled preventing this problem. For sure this is a design flaw that needs to be addressed,
Finally, the insert (orange-colored rubber tips) are only comfortable up to a point, then they begin to irritate the skin inside the ear canal. Not sure if this is because of me or the material, but sadly I cannot use these long-term without discomfort.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

T5 McLaren sport

These were on backorder since July. It was definitely worth the wait. The sound is incredible once you download the app and configure the equalizer. I don't know what others are saying about the buds or earwigs not fitting. Did they read the manual on the proper fit techniques? I can jump, shake my head, play with my dogs and these things will not fall out. I didn't even have to change the tips or earwigs. They should advertise these as noise canceling. I have the Bose QC30's too and they block as much sound as those in my opinion. The battery life seems legit. I haven't had to worry much about the battery going dead too soon.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great fit; Exceptional sound

Replaced my Bose free soundsport wireless in-ear headphones with these. Everything I didn't like about the Bose soundsport has been addressed by Klipsch. The audio clarity in these T5 II mclaren headphones is fantastic. Bass is pretty full and impressive for in-ear. The best part for me is the fit. These tuck nicely in my ears with a great seal and are very snug. They are also very light and comfortable. You barely know they're in. The Bose were enormous, sat mostly outside the ear and always felt like they were falling out. So far I've spent a day with these and love them. Great job Klipsch!
Pros: Audio Quality, Design, Fit
Cons: NONE

Verified Purchase:No
My first Klipsch product and i am loving it. The oval tips fits perfectly, these are the first earbuds that fit my ears perfectly. Sound is clear compared to other headphones that are more bassy that I have used.
Pros: Clear background sounds, Great fit with the oval tips
Cons: Button presses put a bit pressure on your ears
I would recommend this to a friend!

You would think with a name like Klipsch, these earbuds would be great. Far from it. I can’t get them to fit my ears properly, and the right earbud will not charge. You can’t get anyone on phone support either, only online support. I would not recommend this product to anyone. At least the computer speakers I have from them are good.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Lives up the Klipsch name

The Klipsch T5 II Sport McLaren are what you'd expect from two top names. The sound quality is outstanding. Best I've heard from wireless headphones. Battery life is incredible. I have worn them for hours at a time and barely scratched the battery capacity. I also use them with my phone for Telecon's and they work great. The charging case and included wireless charging pad also work great. The case is larger that something like AirPods, but I prefer that. Hardest to loose! Only minor issue I've had is the buds can pop out of the rubber "wings" and thus out of your ears. I have had this happen a couple times after hours of use. Just a minor issue. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a superior set of Bluetooth wireless headphones.
Cons: Buds can pop out of the "wings"

My name is Bret I have two pair of Klipsch earbuds one of them being the McLaren edition and the McLaren edition sound is even a little bit better than the regular t5ll because they give you different ear tips with wings on them the seal off the air completely you hear almost nothing outside you don't need ANC and the carbon fiber charging case with the drying crystals in it and the whole presentation with the history of McLaren an Klipsch it just simply fantastic buy them right now they are literally a steal at that price you're stealing them cuz nothing sounds as good as far as audio nothing has the punch nothing hits as hard nothing has the volume and it's all correct and clear trust me just try it if I'm not right you can send it back but I'm right and you will be happy you read this review cuz you will buy these and believe me I've tried tons of earbuds more expensive less expensive but they never measure up to these never these things make you get excited to listen to music they move your body like listening to peace of mind it just gets your rocking but then you can also listen to easy listening and the singer's voice is just fantastic you can hear him or her breathe piano keys you can hear it hit the strings guitars it's just amazing I'm not kidding and for god sakes if you're looking for earbuds just buy them now cuz you never could get these for this price
I would recommend this to a friend!
