Our Verdict

Klipsch T5 True Wireless

Klipsch T5 II True Wireless Sport

The Klipsch T5 II True Wireless Sport are better than the Klipsch T5 True Wireless. The T5 II are more comfortable and more stable in your ear. They also have a more balanced sound profile, and they can passively isolate against more background noises. They have a companion app, too, and it offers a graphic EQ plus presets to help tweak their sound to your liking. However, the T5 are better built.
