Klipsch T10 True Wireless Earbuds
Introduction
EAR Micro and Klipsch Audio have partnered to design, engineer, and produce the world’s most sophisticated luxury hearables product—an ear-computer. It’s like mixing the brains of a smart-watch, with the form-factor of an earphone. Our T10 ear computers are the smallest in the world, and offer the highest audio performance of any in-ear listening instrument.
EAR Micro’s T10 Bespoke Ear Computers are hand-made luxury items. They are assembled entirely by artisanal craftsmen in Kansas City, MO, and are built in small-batch quantities—just like a fine Swiss timepiece—using precision ceramics and precious metals. T10 Bespoke can be accessorized and customized in an infinite number of ways to achieve individual creations as unique as their owner.
Getting Started
First Time Unboxing
The T10s ear computers will be “Sleeping” packaged inside the charger. While
“Sleeping” the buds use almost no power and can be awakened by pushing the
button on the front of the charger.
When you press the button the LEDs above the button will light up. Your buds are awake and ready for use.
Power On the Buds
To power on the buds simply open the charger doors. The charger has “Gull-
Wing” doors that hinge from the top. Hold the bottom of the door and lift up
and each door will open. You can now just pull each bud from the charger.
Connecting Buds to a Phone
After Removing the buds from the charger, your buds will be in Pairing Mode.
Pairing with an iPhone
From your iPhone Settings screen, select Bluetooth option.
Now select “Klipsch T10 ANC” listed under Other Devices. You will hear a voice prompt that says “Now we’re talking…” and the LEDs on the buds will flash to indicate that you have successfully paired them to your phone.
Pairing with an Android Phone
Find your Bluetooth settings…it can generally be accessed by dragging the
screen down from the top.
Find the “Klipsch T10 ANC” from the Available Devices section. You will probably need to select Pair from the pairing message box to complete the pairing process.
Powering Off the Buds
You can power off the buds by putting them back into the charging case. The case will charge the buds fully and then put the buds back “Sleep” to conserve the battery. To manually put the buds to “Sleep”, you can double-touch the button on the front of the charger and 3 LEDs will flash to indicate that both the buds and the charger are in “Sleep” mode.
Charging
Opening/Closing the Doors
Your T10 Charger has “Gull-Wing” doors that hinge at the top to keep your precious buds securely in place. To Open the doors simply lift the door gently from the bottom and the spring will do the rest to fully open the charger door and reveal your brand new T10s. To Close the door one finger will do. Just nudge it back closed until the magnetic closure snaps the door into the closed position.
Removing/Replacing the Buds
Once the doors are opened you can grasp the sides of the buds to remove them
from the case. Be careful not to touch the Klipsch logo face as it is a touch
interface and inadvertently answer a phone call, start playing music or some
other function.
When putting the buds back into the charger, we recommend placing the ear tip
in first and then rotating the bud to fully seat it in the charger.
After closing the both doors you will see the red LED through the window on
the charger door turn off after a few seconds. The buds will charge and the
charger will put them to “Sleep” when fully charged.
Charger User Interface
Open Door
Upon Opening either door the LEDs on the charger will sequence from the open
door across the 5 LEDs and cycle back off to indicate the door has been
opened. The LEDs will then sequence from the open door across the charger to
indicate the battery level in the bud with the open door. A single LED
illuminated closest to the open door indicates the bud’s battery is between
10% and 30% charged. Two LEDs means between 30% and 50%, three LEDs is between
50% and 70%, four LEDs is between 70% and 90%, five LEDs is greater than 90%.
No LEDs lit means it needs to be charged.
Button Gestures
The button on the charger gives you several functions on the charger and buds
while the buds are in the charger. A quick press and release of the button is
what we refer to as a Touch. A Hold is where you press the button and hold it
down. When holding the button down on the charger, the LEDs will Count the
seconds for you as they illuminate from left to right. Once the charger has
reached 5 seconds it will start back at the left LED position. The count will
continue until you release the button or hold for 30 seconds.
Single-Touch
A Single Touch requests the battery level in the charger. The LEDs will
sequence from the middle outward to acknowledge the button press and cycle
back off. The LEDs will then sequence from the middle outward to indicate the
battery level in the charger. Similar to the battery level in the buds, the
LEDs indicate 10% to 30%, 30% to 50%, 50% to 70%, 70% to 90%, and above 90%.
Double-Touch
A Double-Touch will put both buds and the charger into a “Sleep” mode. This is
a power saver and is particularly useful to save battery life in both the buds
and the charger.
1-Second Hold
A 1-Second Hold will wake the buds from “Sleep”, allow them enter pairing
mode, and attempt to pair with a previously paired phone all before removing
them from the charger.
10-Second Hold
Should the need arise to reset the buds, a 10-Second Hold of the charger
button with the buds in the charger and the doors closed will perform a quick
reboot of the buds.
30-Second Hold
Should the need arise to reset the charger, a 30-Second Hold of the charger
button will perform a quick reboot of the buds.
Charging the Charger
Qi Charging
The T10 charger can be charged with the optional wireless mini puck that is
supplied by EAR Micro or most any Qi compatible wireless chargers. When the
T10 Charger is properly placed on the wireless charger, the wireless Charger
should have an indicator that the T10 Charger is charging. The lights on the
T10 Charger will also cycle in a back-and-forth sequence to let you know the
T10 Charger is charging If using our mini puck, the light in the base of the
puck will illuminate. The mini puck mates perfectly with the T10 Charger
because it is contoured to the exact shape of the T10 charger. Magnets hold
the mini puck and the T10 Charger in the proper alignment.
Full Bud Batteries
Any time the batteries in the buds are fully charger the charger puts the
buds into “Sleep” mode to conserve the charge on the batteries. A 1-Second
hold of the button on the charger will “Wake” the buds.
Full Charger Battery
When the battery in the T10 Charger has reach fully charger the back-and-forth
LED sequence will halt while on the Qi wireless charger.
Low T10 Charger Battery
If the battery in the T10 Charger gets to a significantly low state and you
haven’t placed it on a Qi compatible wireless charger the T10 Charger will
automatically turn off the buds and the charger to help reduce the drain on
the charger battery. You can simply perform a 1-Second Hold to power the
charger back on. This will provide several minutes of charging before the
charger cycles off again.
Bud Gestures
Touch User Interface
The logo or face of the buds contain a touch surface that you can touch to interact with each bud. There are multiple gestures that you can perform to activate different features. The figure below shows the touch surface outlined in red. The front is closest to the ear tip for each bud.
Basic Touch Gestures
The basic gestures are Single-Touch, Double-Touch, Holds, Rocker Forward, Rocker Backward, Swipe Forward, Swipe Backward. A Single-Touch is when you place your finger on all three areas (front, middle, and back) on touch surface and then release quickly. A Double-Touch is when you touch and release twice on the three areas within 1 second. A Hold is similar to a Touch except you hold your finger for a time without moving it from the touch surface. A Rocker Forward is when you touch and release just the front area and a Rocker Backward is when you touch and release just the back area. A Swipe Forward is when you touch the back area momentarily and then slide your finger forward to the front area before releasing your touch. A Swipe Backward is when you touch the front area momentarily and then slide your finger to the back area.
Enhanced Gesture Mode
A Double-Touch will put the bud into Enhanced Gesture Mode that will pass all
future gestures directly to the Companion App until another Double-Touch. A
Double-Touch will Toggle this feature. This can be used to execute
sophisticated actions setup in the App. This feature is coming in the future.
Be Aware When In Gesture Mode Buds Ignore All Gestures Except Double-
Touch!
Advanced Touch Gestures
The advanced gestures are Swipe-and-Hold, Touch-and-Hold, and Double-Touch-
and-Hold. While advanced gestures require a bit more patience and timing to
learn, they provide additional features that aren’t used every day by most
users. A Swipe-and-Hold begins with a Swipe either forward or backward and is
followed immediately with a hold on the side that you swipe toward. For a
Swipe-and-Hold Forward you swipe from the back to the front, lift your finger,
and then hold the front touch area. A Touch-and-Hold starts just like a single
touch but you then put your finger back on the whole touch area and hold for a
number of seconds. A Double-Touch-and-Hold is just like a Single-Touch-and-
Hold except you touch the face twice. The action is touch, release, touch,
release, and hold. These actions from first touch to the beginning of the hold
must be performed within 1 second.
The table below lists the Gesture, Bud State, and the Action that occurs when
the gesture is performed.
