At the sale price I got this was an absolute steal. Decent clean sound, very good battery life, well made, comfortable and lightweight; what's not to like. I use it to listen to movies late at night and when I'm on the treadmill, there's no appreciable sound lag like a lot of other Bluetooth headphones; perfect for my purposes.
Compared to Sony or Bose full sized headphones the sound isn't as good of course, but it's pretty good, lacking some bass but overall nice and clear, sort of like studio phones. Eartip seal is good enough to prevent significant sound leak and block out most normal ambient sounds.
Battery life is about 6-7 hours, maybe 4 movies. The controls are basic-basic, you need to read the instructions to figure out how to use them and what each beep pattern means. They use aptX and AAC protocols, battery life is visible on Androids notification bar. I have not had any complaints about sound quality on phone calls.

8-Hour BatteryKlipsch R5 Neckband headphones use a single lithium ion battery to deliver over 8 hours of listening to music and taking calls. The integrated cVc microphone automatically enhances voice clarity and actively reduces environmental noise to ensure your teleconferences are loud and clear. The Klipsch R5 Neckband is IPX4 splash-proof and will continue to work in humid conditions. |
Don’T Miss A CallWith a vibrator built into the left control pod, you can stop worrying about missing that important call if your phone is out of reach. The Neckband will vibrate against your collar bone to notify you of an incoming call. Pick the call up directly from the right control pod and take your call using the built-in cVc microphone. The raised controls let you pick up calls, adjust volume, and track through songs. |
SOUNDUsing an evolutionary new 5mm micro-driver, we condensed the same great Klipsch legendary sound into an even-smaller form-factory. Ensuring deeper fit and better hold, the smaller acoustic modules are designed to stay in your ears securely and comfortably. The R5 Neckband gives you the freedom from wires without the hassle of being tethered to your device. Using aptX and AAC technology, you no longer have to choose between sound or comfort. |
So Comfortable It’S PatentedKlipsch in-ear monitors utilize patented contour ear tips that are anatomically designed to accurately sit inside the ear canal. These soft oval silicon tips reduce ear fatigue as well as provide an amazing seal for excellent noise isolation and bass response. They fit better, they feel better, and only Klipsch has them! |

Definitely all around great product for the price.
The only reason I purchased these was due to the flash sale. I was in the market for noise cancelling wireless headphones, but these were not in mind.I like the fact they can 'hang' when not in use. I don't have to worry about losing nor damaging them. The band is leather (I think) and sits comfortably around the neck. I often forget I even have it on and have fallen asleep a few times wearing it.Music quality is great.Battery life seems to be a mystery. I use a Samsung Note 10 smartphone. It pairs perfectly; however, only let's me know when the battery life is 80%. I don't shut the headphones off most of the time, as I expect for them to auto shut off...and I believe they do. I have listened for hours...full work days even...and then some more in the evening on the same charge.They do not skip songs! I may just be a dummy, but I cannot get them to skip music. There's a button on the left that seems to only have the on/off function. The button on the right is for play/pause and indent buttons above and below it for volume up/down. I've tried every combo of pressing among all buttons...can't get it to skip songs!The range seems to vary as well. I've been able to leave my phone upstairs and listen when directly below on the lower floor. There have been other times when the sound gets choppy being 10 feet away. Perhaps the battery was low then?I have had a few comments about sounding "weird" during phone convos, but no complaints about not being heard nor being unclear. Sound quality has been great on my end.I don't expect anything more for the price. They certainly get the job done for me, and I am actually using them as I type this review.My only gripe is the inability to skip songs. I haven't tried on an iPhone, as those devices are for simple minded people.I'd buy it again, as well as recommended them, but not at full price. I purchased them for thirty bucks.
