Yea but how often do you have to charge the case? Yesterday my case had two light bars. I put my headphones in that were at 70% and about 30 minutes later the case had no power left. 

 

I wrote an email to Klipsch since their ticket system is broken on the accounts page. Have not received any reply yet. 

I charge them every 2-3 days, and that is with the case still having 2 bars of battery left. I only use them about 1-2 hours a day though but 70-0% after 30 minutes seems unreasonable, any local distributors you can bring them to? You might want to try your luck there to get a replacement.

Hmm apparently you have to make sure they are in your ears with the Klipsch logo facing straight and and upwards too. I read that in the FAQ about speaking louder. 

 

Yesterday at the gym I noticed they were skipping music when the phone was in my pocket too. So I moved the phone to the right side pocket of my shorts as it said in the FAQ that you should keep your phone on the same side as the master earbud. They still skipped though. 

 

Also, how long does your charging case last? I have to charge mine every other day when it gets to one light bar. 

 

I usually use my headphones at work every day for 3-4 hours, without putting them in the case and they are usually at 50-70% according to my phone. They only get put back in the case when I'm going home.

 

It does not seem like the case should discharge this quickly?

 

I realized this morning the earbuds were not powering on when I pulled them out the case. I had to manually turn them on. Putting them back in the case, they did not turn off which means the case that had one light bar last night is depleted of charge. Not sure why the case lost all it's charge. 

 

I am probably better off sending these back as I keep discovering new issues what seems like every day. 

My case works fine so far and I am not experiencing the issues that you described. I'm only keeping these still because of the form factor and sound quality.

I may have spoke too soon about the mics. After using them on calls from Saturday onward, last night I was told there is a hissing sound, similar to white noise or something like when your tv has no channel available. 

 

On my end I kept hearing a hollow noise throughout the call sort of like someone was exhaling now and then. It was also a video call through Duo with my girlfriend so I mentioned let's not say anything for a second and see if it's still there. I still heard it and she mentioned she heard fuzziness similar to the tv example. 

 

Very odd as I didn't encounter this a few days ago. I'll test them out some more but if it keeps occurring, I may need to send them back before the 30 days are up. Disappointing as I do enjoy them a lot for music. 

I took them to my local Klipsch distributor and the staff actually mentioned that they have communicated the mic issue to Klipsch a couple of times before, he says that Klipsch admits that the mic issues do exist and you have speak a little louder than usual for the mic to pick up your voice (due to them being located at the back of the bud), well I demoed my issues and argued that speaking so loudly will just make me a nuisance in most public spaces. They replaced the set for me told me to wait for the mobile app to be released as it would stabilize these issues, I have my doubts but I will wait and see...

@sze5003 Ok, I will bring it to my local store to have them look at it. Thanks for the info!

@WhammyBarsI did. It broke my heart but I returned them. The mic was unusable. Tried to make it work by using an old Jabra Bluetooth mic for calls, but switching one headset out for another felt unacceptable. I believe it’s because all 4 mics are facing to the rear, into your earlobes. So it picks up every sound terribly. But dang do they sound good for music. If I didn’t have a job I would keep them... but then again I wouldn’t be buying $200 earphones either. 

@SethR Fortunately I don't really use the mics very often. But damn this is unacceptable.

Anyone having mic issues on the T5? I have to take out the right earbud and put it right in front of my mouth in order for somebody to hear me clearly in a phone call.
