"As the true wireless category continues to grow, we see that charging speed and reliability really matter to our customers," says Vlad Grodzinskiy, Sr. Product Manager for the Klipsch Lifestyle Division. "With the technology and expertise provided by NuCurrent, we know that Klipsch customers are getting the best possible experience from our T5 II Wireless Sport and ANC earphones."
NuCurrent utilized the NuEva LF Development Platform to extend beyond the performance capabilities of the Qi standard. Delivering charging speeds that are 2X faster than any hearable product in the industry, NuCurrent's technology is now available in the Klipsch T5 II Wireless Sport (Standard, McLaren & PGA Editions) earphones. These charge twice as fast as the next competitor on standard Qi chargers. This high-performance technology also provided Klipsch with the design freedom to use higher-quality, thicker materials, providing sleek-and-durable cases that look great while protecting the earphones.
The active noise cancelling (ANC) models - Klipsch T5 II Wireless ANC earphones (Standard and McLaren Edition with 2X Charging Mat) - also deliver wireless charging speeds twice as fast as the next competitor on standard Qi chargers. Additionally, these models achieve inductive power transfer through a metallic case, making the Klipsch T5 II ANC earphones' case the first one in the world to do so.
"It's one thing to develop industry-leading charging speeds as we did with the Klipsch T5 II Wireless Sport earphones, but we set the bar even higher with the ANC models by achieving those speeds with a metallic case," says NuCurrent Global Sales Director, Rob Diebold. "There's real proof that - with the right technology and expertise - wireless power can help product developers make products that are beautifully designed and incredibly useful."
The Klipsch T5 II Wireless ANC McLaren Edition earphones ship with the Klipsch 2X Charging Mat, which features one charging zone optimized for the Klipsch ANC earphone case and another charging zone for any Qi compatible phone.
"Having NuCurrent's technology power multiple Klipsch true wireless earphones is an important milestone in the wireless power industry," adds Diebold. "This reinforces the value of our technology and our dominant position in successfully getting products to mass production with innovative OEM customers like Klipsch."
