T5 True Wireless Earphones ($349)
We won’t talk about the battery life or comfort here, because everyone knows that about the T5 True Wireless already. What we like about the T5 True Wireless is its handy advanced call button control. Ever been in a situation where you’re trying to have a call at home but find yourself being interrupted by family members all the time? To mute yourself on calls, it’s simple with the T5 True Wireless:
– When using both earphones: Simply press the Klipsch logo button on the left earphone one time.
– When using one earphone: Press the Klipsch logo button once on that earphone.
– You will hear a tone every five seconds to remind you that you are muted.
– To unmute: Follow the same procedure as you did to mute.
Want to end the call? Just double-press that same button.
