Our Verdict

Klipsch T5 II True Wireless Sport

Klipsch T5 II True Wireless ANC

The Klipsch T5 II True Wireless Sport are the sports-oriented variant of the Klipsch T5 II True Wireless ANC. The Sport have a more comfortable and stable fit. They're also rated IP67 for dust and water resistance, although we don't currently test for this and can isolate you from more ambient noise passively. However, the ANC are more jam-packed with extra features such as built-in Bragi Moves, which allows you to control the headphones using head movements. They're also better-built and have an ANC system, though it struggles to block out bass-range noise.
