YES, T-10’s slip into world’s slimmest charger, which doubles as key fob, necklace pendant, or pocket-watch style device

5.5 mA

8-15 mA

5.5. mA

47-56 mAh per cell, available in optional chemistries optimized for either maximum capacity, or incredibly fast charging (4-5C, or full capacity in under 30 min). Battery is a laser-welded stainless case that cannot expand, cannot leak. Ultimately compact, ultimately safe

Standard Varta coin-cell, or Chinese.

(Larger, and less energy density). Cells tend to be inconsistently manufactured, can be volatile (dangerous), are designed to expand and ‘vent’ noxious chemicals in the event of battery degradation/failure

Single EAR Micro cell in the T-10 (available in either selected chemistry) Double EAR Micro cell in the T-20. Allows up to 9 hours playback time in the T-10, 16 hours in the T-20. In fast-charge version, battery can be charged to 85% capacity in 15 minutes

24bit/up to 96kHz using Sony LDAC codec

16bit/44.1kHz, some at 24/48 using APTx or APTxHD

Yes

Yes

T-10's are Feed Forward.  T-20's are Hybrid

24bit/192kHz

few support, but some at 24/48

OTA and side-loaded media storage/playback not utilized on Klipsch T-10, however WILL be used on upcoming Klipsch T-20 (high-def audio in-ear monitiors) @ 24/192

NO on T-10, YES on upcoming T-20 product, (utilizes micro SD--so user can determine amt. of memory to add)

ARM M4, integrated into SIP

*QC 51xx, very difficult to customize and program. No operating system integration, no a.i. integration

ARM M4, integrated into SIP

Twin Tensilica HiFi, open architecture, easily customized, integrated into SIP

*Qualcomm Kalimba, severely outdated, only a handful of individuals in the world familiar with and capable of programming)

Twin Tensilica HiFi , open architecture, easily customized, integrated into SIP

Up to 6, including in-canal, can be standard mems analog or digital, (nearly-unlimited) custom keyword/key-phrase detection handled entirely through OS on the m4 ARM

2-4, generally external only, must use Knowles IA 610/611 smart-mic for (very limited) keyword detection, only "Alexa/Google/Siri" today

T-10 uses 4 standard mems analog, custom keyword/key-phrase detection handled entirely through OS on the m4 ARM. T-20 uses 6 mics:  4 mems analog for beam-formoing, plus 2 Mems in-canal hybrid ANC + windless voice)

Virtually unlimited, utilizes I2C bus, plus Bragi OS

Not natively supported for customization by QQ, difficult/time-consuming to integrate

6 axis IMU used in conjunction with mics for positional awareness (left or right ear) plus novel mouth gestures, plus head gestures

Up to 8 pads, fully customizable gestures, including pressure sensitivity

QC 51xx, cap sense no longer supported on chip, must use separate chip and custom software to support multi-gesture, no pressure sensitivity

Supports touch, double touch, touch and hold, swipe forward, swipe rearward, swipe and hold forward, swipe and hold rearward, toggle forward, toggle rearward, toggle and hold (both directions), all gestures (for each ear) independently assignable in-app

Controls hearable without voice, and without hands (click teeth, tongue snitch, etc.)

Not available, would infringe EAR IP

Included: control hearable without voice, and without hands (click teeth, tongue snitch, etc.). Used in conjunction with Bragi 4D head-gestures to create virtual ‘point and click’ menu structure for the hearable, protected by EAR and Bragi IP

Extended gestures through Bragi OS, including 4D virtual menu integration (virtual mouse), plus Mouth gesture (patented by EAR) for click/selection of list items

Not available, would infringe Bragi IP and EAR IP

Extended gestures through Bragi OS, initial T-10 includes head nod, head shake, and (later) software upgrade for 4D virtual menu integration (virtual mouse), plus Mouth gesture (patented by EAR) for click/selection of list items

Use of hearable as a musical instrument device interface

Not available, would infringe EAR IP

Yes in Future software updates

Bragi O.S. customized in partnership with EAR Micro. Enables seamless participation in the burgeoning new space for 3rd party ‘hearables apps’

Qualcomm (firmware only), no ability to download hearables apps to upgrade or enhance the product

Bragi O.S. customized in partnership with EAR Micro, several pending Klipsch-exclusive hearables apps to debut alongside product

Yes (coming soon), allows outside app developers to write hearables apps and/or integrate hearables support to existing apps

NO

YES (coming soon), allows outside app developers to write hearables apps and/or integrate hearables support to existing apps

EAR Micro and Bragi Nano AI., combined to support on-board situational awareness, on-board gesture processing, and other fully customizable features

NO

Supports on-board situational awareness, on-board gesture processing, and other fully customizable future features (workout detection, detection of reps for pushups/situps/other floor exercises, auto-transparency audio pass through during calls or when user is speaking, etc.

EVERGREEN and FUTURE-PROOF:  Allows replacement of battery, repairs, upgrades to circuit board, ability to swap-out mechanical components, remove/replace/upgrade speaker cartridge, etc.

NO, all other hearables are mechanically fixed, cannot be opened or repaired easily. Not upgradable as tech evolves. Planned 2-3 year EOL means more landfill bait the moment the batteries are shot and won’t hold a charge. Disgusting

YES: fully utilizes exclusive EAR Micro Chassis Design. Klipsch Hearables chassis will be a viable platform for decades to come; just like the company’s famous Klipsch Horns; in continuous production for nearly 70 years
