Klipsch T5 II True Wireless Sport Earphone McLaren Edition

Earlier this year, Klipsch and McLaren Racing announced their new partnership. The idea behind this collaboration is to jointly present outstanding solutions in the field of personal audio devices. Now they are announcing their first product, the new Klipsch T5 II True Wireless Sport Earphone McLaren Edition.

At CES 2020, the US company Klipsch not only presented a variety of new products, but also announced a new partnership. It was announced that it has entered into a partnership with the British racing team McLaren Racing.

First, this partnership means that Klipsch is now an official partner of McLaren Racing in the headphone and portable audio market, with the team’s pit crew at the forefront of the action, putting the audio specialist’s logo in the limelight for worldwide TV broadcasts such as Formula 1. And of course, the team’s drivers will carry accessories wherever possible, so the Klipsch brand will be very present.

This was a very wise decision on the part of Klipsch, since it has been known for years that products such as headphones are often perceived primarily as fashion accessories and therefore the consumer’s decision to buy is not primarily dependent on the actual quality.

This new partnership between Klipsch and McLaren Racing has at least one prominent role model in a long-standing collaboration between an audio specialist, also from the US, and the racing team of a German car company.

But the collaboration between Klipsch and McLaren Racing is intended to go beyond a mere marketing partnership, as the two companies emphasize. Together, they will develop outstanding solutions that are unique in quality, technological innovation and design, the official announcement said. At the CES 2020 in Las Vegas, the first products for this year were already announced, but without going into detail. But it was clear that the new joint solutions would be based heavily on Klipsch’s regular products. The first product to be officially introduced is the Klipsch T5 II True Wireless Sport Earphone McLaren Edition.

As the name suggests, the new Klipsch T5 II True Wireless Sport Earphone McLaren Edition is inspired by the Klipsch T5 II True Wireless Sport Earphone, introduced at the CES 2020, the second generation of the Klipsch T5 Series. In fact, what makes the new Klipsch T5 II True Wireless Sport Earphone McLaren Edition a special edition is primarily limited to the design, which is now McLaren Racing style.

For example, the new Klipsch T5 II True Wireless Sport Earphone McLaren Edition is a rugged, IP67-rated, in-ear headphone that is resistant to dust and moisture. This not only means that it can be used outdoors in all weathers, it also makes it very easy to clean.

Klipsch calls the new Klipsch T5 II True Wireless Sport Earphone McLaren Edition small and ergonomic, and comes with no fewer than six different ear tips. These are special oval-shaped Ear Tips that are designed to be comfortable to wear while providing very effective noise isolation. In addition, a pair of Memory Foam Ear Tips is also supplied as an alternative.

Essential Ear Wings are included in three different sizes that ensure that the Klipsch T5 II True Wireless Sport Earphone McLaren Edition will hold up perfectly during even the most intense workouts. These Ear Wings are designed to keep the in-ear headphones in place inside the earcup while still providing maximum comfort.

Once again, the manufacturer promises the legendary Klipsch sound for the new Klipsch T5 II True Wireless Sport Earphone McLaren Edition, and the previous Klipsch T5 Series models have proven to deliver the finest sound available.

Four microphones are built into the Klipsch T5 II True Wireless Sport Earphone McLaren Edition to provide optimal voice quality when used as a hands-free kit or by giving commands through voice assistants such as Apple Siri or Google Assistant.

A special antenna construction, which the manufacturer itself refers to as a signal-boost antenna, is supposed to provide for an always interference-free, secure connection via Bluetooth.

This robust design also applies to the transport case included in the scope of delivery, which also functions as a charging station and is designed as a so-called power bank. The in-ear headphones themselves are said to offer the amazing playing time of up to eight hours, the aforementioned case allows 24 more hours, so that in total you can go up to 32 hours on-the-road without a power outlet.

Charging is done via USB C cable or Qi Wireless Charging, whereby not only a USB C cable is included, you find the Wireless Charging Pad as well in the package.

In the special Klipsch T5 II True Wireless Sport Earphone McLaren Edition, the McLaren in-ear headphones feature McLaren’s trademark Papaya Orange and carbon fiber accents. In addition, this earphone comes with a special edition of the McLaren Racing brand book and a metal badge with serial number.

Of course, a matching app is available for the Klipsch T5 II True Wireless Sport Earphone McLaren Edition, but also for the Klipsch T5 II True Wireless Sport Earphone. The Klipsch Connect app for Apple iOS and Google Android allows for the use of an EQ, shows the battery status, and of course, is used for future updates.

The new Klipsch T5 II True Wireless Sport Earphone McLaren Edition will be available for pre-order today and will be available soon. The suggested retail price is EUR 279,-.

Those who choose the regular version, the the Klipsch T5 II True Wireless Sport Earphone, will be able to purchase the new edition for EUR 229,- in September. You can choose between green, black and white.
