Klipsch T5M Wired: What Hi-Fi Awards Product of the Year - Best in-ear headphones £50-£100

By What Hi-Fi?

The in-ear headphone market has to be one of the toughest audio markets to crack, so the repeated success of Klipsch speaks volumes.

The latest example is the Klipsch T5 M, which are our pick as the best in-ear headphones at £50 to £100, and our overall What Hi-Fi? Awards headphone Product of the Year for 2019.

The T5 M wired earphones are part of a range of headphones from Klipsch, featuring neckband, sports and true wireless models, all of which use the same speaker driver derived from previous award-winning earphones.

The Klipsch T5 M earpieces are comfortable and easy to fit. Each one houses a 5 millimetre dynamic driver and features a 5.6 millimetre nozzle, on to which you can put the patented, Klipsch oval earbuds. And we’re big fans of the buds, which provide a snug fit and good noise isolation.

The headphone cable is equally solid, while the left earpiece offers an in-line mic and one-button control. 

They may not be positioned as sports headphones but it’s worth noting that these buds are IPX4 certified, meaning they’re both sweat- and water-resistant.

Of course what really makes these earphones Award-winners is the class-leading sound quality. 

The Klipsch T5 M deliver solid, powerful bass, crisp and controlled treble notes, and an overall sound that’s dynamic and exciting. 

In-ear headphones at this price rarely deliver a sound that’s as mature and detailed as what’s on offer here.

If you’re still using the in-ear headphones that came bundled with your smartphone, then you’re missing out. 

The Klipsch T5M Wired in-ears are the best around at this price, and that’s why they’re our 2019, in-ear headphones, Product of the Year.
