You’d prefer high-definition wireless sound quality: With support for just low-definition wireless codecs, the QCE II may not be for everyone. You really want app support: They do amazing things without a companion app (on-ear volume control, EQ, etc.) but if you want a visual cue of their battery life, no dice.

You're looking to save money: With so many brilliant budget earbuds out there, these are perhaps an unnecessary expense. But they are a perfect 'big present'. If you’re looking for excellent call quality, the Elite 7 Pro are still the better buds, with bone conduction sensors that aren’t included with the Active model. But if you’re on the hunt for a new pair of affordable buds solely for fitness, the Elite 7 Active are a solid choice and good value. The Klipsch T5M Wired Earphones offer superior comfort and unparalleled acoustic quality on-the-go.With fantastic ANC, high quality audio and a bunch of features that work extremely well when used with an iPhone, these buds are a no-brainer for Apple lovers. Then there is the increased value of noise reduction. Unlike wearing a pair of earbuds to the gym or going around the park, this feature becomes valuable in a home environment where multiple calls could be going on and the only way to retain sanity is to ensure noise cancellation. With so many parameters to fulfil, choosing the right pair of earphones just got more tedious. Klipsch T5M offers added comfort for the ears. Not surprising because they were the ones who patented the oval tips used in the earphones to provide noise isolation, sound clarity and better quality of sound all at once. The product also has a sweat-resistant body and it works with any device to offer crystal-clear sound quality.

With extra comfort and seamless acoustic quality, the T5M Wired In-Ear headphones are ideal for audiophiles. The T5M headphones ensure comfort due to their balanced weight, neither too bulky nor too lightweight. Each ear tip equips a 5.0mm dynamic driver that delivers audio by combining high output and full bass extension. The dynamic driver of this earphones helps to produce low and high frequency sound signals efficiently. Mids are where the Klipsch shine, allowing vocals to really shin as acoustic music, which favors mids, are lush and detailed. The detail extends to the highs as well, allowing the headphones to sing in the higher registers without ever being harsh. Sweat-resistant, patented oval ear tips for ultimate comfort and an excellent seal for noise isolation Design changes are subtle between the Pro and Pro 2 models. You’ll find a typical Apple-esque look here, with slightly protruding stems, clean lines and a bright white finish. During our testing, we were happy to find there are now extra small ear tips, great news for those with smaller ears and should fit most people well.

You prioritize on-ear volume control: No dice here, sadly – although Sony says that following a firmware update, it willbe possible, by pressing either earbuds multiple times. They're not cheap, but the T5 holds their own against the top of the line true wireless headphones like the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless and Master & Dynamic MW07. For a third less the cost, the T5 feature better sound than the MW07 and better battery life than both competitors. While the Sennheisers remain the champ in terms of sound quality, the Klipsch T5 gets very close. You don't have an iPhone: If you're in the Android world, you won't get as much benefit from these headphones (although it's not as bad as previously). You want wireless: It goes without saying that if you've become accustomed to wireless earbuds, you're not going to be happy with these. You want top quality sound and have a stretchier budget: If sound quality is top of your list and you can spend a little more, do that. But this is not audiophile-grade.
