Amazon’s unheard-of price cut on Klipsch R5 Neckband earbuds is for today only

Klipsch R5 Neckband Earbuds — $69 off

Amazon’s daily deal on Klipsch R5 Neckband earbuds had us wondering if we were reading it correctly. Comfortable and great-looking, for Saturday only, Amazon reduced the price of the Klipsch R5 by 58%, saving lucky buyers $69.

Whether you’re buying a gift for Father’s Day, a graduation present, a late Mother’s Day present (she won’t mind waiting a day when the R5 Neckband arrives on Monday), or if you want to upgrade your comfort and listening experience, don’t wait because this deal ends at 11:59 P.M. PST.

The Klipsch R5 Neckband lies comfortably around the back of your neck. If an earbud pops out or you take one out, it won’t get lost or possibly broken by falling to the floor. The earbuds attach to the neckband and remain tethered when they’re not in your ears. You also avoid the hassle and aggravation of wired headsets that plug into a smartphone or other device.

Even if you don’t count the stylish appearance of the hand-stitched edge-treated leather covering that looks even better as it ages, the Klipsch R5 Neckband earbuds tick all three important boxes for wireless headsets: sound quality, comfort, and battery life.

Klipsch’s new 5mm micro drivers, one in each earbud, deliver solid, full sound. You don’t have to compromise on listening quality to have earbuds small enough to stay in your ears comfortably. When calls come in, the left side of the neckband vibrates against your collar bone. You can answer calls by touching the right side of the neckband and use the integrated cVc noise-canceling microphone for the call.

The R5’s soft oval contoured silicon tips sit comfortably in your ear canal and make a seal for sound isolation and excellent bass. The neckband features soft leather and the earbuds feel great and sound great. The Klipsch R5 Neckband is IPX4 splash-proof and unphased by high humidity.

The neckband form factor affords Klipsch the space to hold a single lithium-ion battery that allows you to play music and talk on the phone for more than 8 hours.

Normally priced at $119, the Klipsch R5 Neckband is just $50 for today, Saturday, May 11 only as an Amazon daily deal. If you want a premium set of Bluetooth earbuds for listening to streaming content and for making and taking phone calls, with the added benefit of much better than average battery life, jump on this opportunity to buy at more than half off the regular price.

What is hi-res audio, and how can you experience it right now?
Dlyan Wireless Headphones

High-resolution audio, hi-res audio, or even HD audio -- whatever you decide to call it (for the record, the industry prefers "hi-res audio"), it's a catch-all term that describes digital audio that goes above and beyond the level of sound quality you can expect from a garden-variety MP3 file and even CDs. It was once strictly the domain of audiophiles, but now that major streaming music services like Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, Deezer, and Qobuz have embraced it, almost everyone can take advantage of what hi-res has to offer.

But what exactly is hi-res audio? What equipment do you need to listen to it? Where can you download or stream it? And does it actually sound better? We've got the answers.
What does the term 'hi-res audio' mean?

How to download music from Spotify for offline listening
How to download music and podcasts from Spotify: The downloads folder.

If you're a Spotify Premium user paying that premium Spotify fee, chances are you've taken at least some time curating playlists, liking songs, and using the platform's easy-to-use (and recently revamped) user interface to discover new and old music.

But sometimes all that music or your favorite podcasts aren't available if you find yourself without an internet connection to stream them from — like on a long plane ride or weekend camping trip in the sticks. That's where Spotify's offline listening feature comes in handy, allowing you to download playlists, albums, and podcasts through its desktop and mobile apps so you can still rock out while you're off the grid.

How to switch from Spotify to Apple Music
Spotify and Apple Music transfer on a smartphone.

Spotify is the world's most popular music streaming service for a reason. It has a massive catalog of music and podcasts, is full of cool music discovery and sharing features, and is really easy to use.
However, with its recent price increase and the fact that it still hasn't joined most of its peers in offering a hi-res audio quality option, you may be considering jumping ship for its closest competitor, Apple Music, which counts lossless hi-res tracks, mind-bending spatial audio, Dolby Atmos Music tracks, and a catalog that rivals Spotify's among the many attractive reasons to switch.

But there's one problem: you’ve spent a lot of time creating playlists and marking songs and albums as your favorites in Spotify. Is it worth the switch? Will all that hard work be lost in translation?
