The Pit

The sound of speed

Klipsch, the official headphone and portable audio partner of the McLaren Formula 1 team, has just released a co-branded set of wireless earphones with the supercar brand.

McLaren fans rejoice! Klipsch's has released the latest T5 II True Wireless Sport McLaren Edition earphones, and there's nothing sexier in the market than these. The casing itself is an object of desire, finished in faux carbon fibre and accented with McLaren’s hallmark Papaya Orange racing lines, the case allows you to charge the earphones via USB-C or wirelessly with the wireless charging pad included.

Pop open the mini 'luggage case' and a set of ear pods greet you, oozing in sleekness as they're framed in an anodised metal signal-boost exterior antenna.

The McLaren Edition is the crown jewel in a range of Klipsch's T5 II Wireless earphones and they've approached the series with much of the company's emphasis on high-fidelity audio, unparalleled comfort and robust construction.

Tested in harsh racing conditions within the McLaren racing team's pit garage, the earphones are honed for the ultimate effectiveness in their noise-cancelling prowess. This also results in a best-in-class acoustic performance, not just for the input but also the output, with four beam forming microphones with clear voice chat for those crisp and clear zoom calls.

The T5 II True Wireless Sport earphones are also dust-proof and feature water-tight properties, along with a moisture removal system ensure the earphones remain dry.
