Canyon True Wireless Stereo Headset OnRun 11 Sport – Review

The Canyon OnRun 11 Sport features a carefully designed ergonomic shape and secure ear hooks that conform comfortably to your ears, so you get a snug and stable fit. No matter how intense your workout gets, these earbuds will stay in place, preventing slippage or discomfort and after wearing these for some time on holidays and going to the gym and some cycling these have remained secure in my ears and will not budge for anyone else due to their ergonomic design.
Built to withstand the rigors of your active lifestyle, the Canyon OnRun 11 Sport is sweat and water resistant. You can confidently wear them during your most challenging workouts without worrying about damage from perspiration. The OnRun 11 Sport utilizes a high-capacity battery that delivers impressive playtime. Enjoy up to 7.5 hours of continuous music playback on a single charge, and the charging case provides an additional 28 hours of power.
The OnRun 11 Sport is engineered specifically for sports enthusiasts. The lightweight design, secure fit, and sweat resistance make these earbuds the ideal choice for athletes who demand the best in performance and comfort.
These are designed for athletes and fitness enthusiasts, these earbuds deliver powerful sound, a secure fit, and long-lasting battery life. Equipped with the latest Bluetooth 5.4 technology, however there is no app for these which is disappointing but not a huge deal, the OnRun 11 Sport offers faster data transfer, improved phone call quality, and a wider frequency range for richer audio.
With up to 7.5 hours of continuous playback and a charging case that provides an additional 28 hours of power, you can enjoy your favourite music without interruption. Plus, the convenient wireless charging feature makes it easy to keep your earbuds powered up.
When it comes to controls and audio we have a touch base system here which works well and preferential for many in the sports scene, with the audio and no app these sounded better than one would expect to be fair and are quite fine as are out of the box with decent highs lows and mids no lag latency and no tinny sound when maxed out on the volume which for me is always the highest it can go and all genres played well here form my usual test run with earbuds and headphones. Some bass drops where quite remarkable in fact.

We are missing ANC but honestly full volume on these you can forget about what is going on outside , there seems to be no volume control either and finally there is no auto play or pause or hear-through either present. Calls where fine for the few I took on both ends also.
Overall these are not the best on the market but for the price you cant complain I guess, they are loud with decent punchy musics that hit the right notes all round and have enough features for those not fussy, check the video below for more.

ROG Ally Windows 11 gaming handheld unveiled

ROG Ally, an incredibly powerful new Windows 11 gaming handheld. Driven by the cutting-edge AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, the ROG Ally can breeze through AAA games and indie titles in 1080p with ease, whether you’re playing alone or with friends. The ROG Ally will be available for sale in the UK from June 13th 2023 for just £699, with pre-orders starting from May 11th. With robust support and partnerships throughout the industry, the ROG Ally is poised to be the ultimate handheld gaming machine.

Full HD AAA gaming in the palm of your hand

The ROG Ally is a truly next-gen handheld, offering Full HD gaming on the go, able to run even modern AAA titles faster and smoother than any other handheld on the market. Since it runs Windows 11, it can play any game from any platform, and includes 3 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate right out of the box. Play alone, connect to a TV to play with friends, or kick into high gear with the ROG XG Mobile suite of external GPUs for a truly top-tier gaming experience.

The ROG Ally is powered by an all-new Ryzen Z1 Extreme Series processor from AMD. Built on the “Zen” 4 architecture combined with AMD RDNA 3 architecture-based graphics, the Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor rivals the prowess of game consoles with 8 cores, 16 threads, and up to 8.6 teraflops of graphics processing power. An AMD Ryzen Z1 variant will be available later with 6 cores and 12 processing threads, and both models support AMD FidelityFXTM Super Resolution and AMD Radeon Super Resolution upscaling technologies for excellent performance and stunning visuals in demanding AAA and indie titles.

Renato Fragale, senior director of product management for the Consumer and Gaming Client Business at AMD comments: “Our team has spent over a decade developing the technologies necessary to enable the Ryzen Z1 Series of processors. Working with visionary partners like ROG, we’ve designed a platform that redefines mobile gaming,” he adds, “We’re excited for gamers to experience the first device powered by Ryzen Z1 Series processors with the launch of the ROG Ally.”

Making this possible is ROG’s Zero Gravity thermal system, which uses a dual-fan system with ultra-thin heatsink fins and high-friction heat pipes to ensure the ROG Ally stays cool in any orientation. The ROG Ally also comes equipped with 16GB of high speed LPDDR5 6400MHz memory, 512 GB of

PCIe Gen 4 storage, and a UHS-II microSD card slot to further expand its storage capacity. Wi-Fi 6E support ensures that the ROG Ally stays on a rock-solid connection, even in congested networks, whether you’re natively playing a multiplayer match or streaming a game via Xbox Cloud Gaming or AMD Link.

Flagship gaming performance demands a panel to match, and the ROG Ally does not disappoint. Equipped with a 120Hz Full HD (1080p) panel with AMD FreeSync™ Premium technology1, gamers will enjoy supreme motion clarity in fast-paced games, with no tearing or stuttering. The display also has a max brightness of 500 nits, enabling gamers to easily keep track of the action in more challenging environments like the great outdoors. This touchscreen display also acts to seamlessly allow navigation of Windows 11 when gamers need to change settings or install their next game.

Versatile performance at the right price

ME Time: The ROG Ally takes handheld gaming to new heights. With a Full HD screen and hardware capable of 60 FPS in many of the latest titles, the ROG Ally provides an on-the-go experience that will satisfy gamers of all stripes. Compared to the 720p resolution of competing devices, the ROG Ally offers superior image and motion clarity thanks to its Full HD panel and AMD FreeSyncTM Premium technology.

WE Time: With the optional ROG Gaming Charger Dock, gamers can connect the ROG Ally to a TV and charge at the same time, allowing for couch co-op and competition with extra controllers. The ROG Ally can handle multiplayer games like NBA 2K3, Moving Out, and Street Fighter V with ease for a party that never stops.

PRO Time: When paired with an XG Mobile external GPU sporting up to an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4090 Laptop GPU, the ROG Ally becomes a true gaming powerhouse for living room couch gaming or a high-end experience with mouse and keyboard. Play AAA games at 4K with ray tracing and DLSS 3, or take down the competition in high framerate esports titles.

All of this versatility comes at an excellent price. The Ryzen Z1 Extreme equipped model with 512GB of storage will be available for pre-order at £699 from May 11th at the ASUS ROG store and at Currys from May 16th. For pre-order information, visit the ROG Ally Ryzen Z1 Extreme product page on Currys.co.uk. Gamers can also purchase the ROG XG Mobile with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU for £2,199, or the XG Mobile with an AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT for £699.

Play all your games

The ROG Ally was designed from the ground up with Windows at its heart, able to play all your games from any platform. ROG has collaborated with Microsoft, game publishers, and individual studios to ensure that gamers using the ROG Ally have the best experience possible. Full support for Steam, the EA App, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, the Epic Games Store, GOG Galaxy 2.0, Android apps, and more game libraries ensures that no matter where you get your games, ROG Ally has you covered.

The ROG Ally even comes bundled with a 3-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate code for free, giving gamers instant access to Microsoft’s game library the moment they unbox the machine.

Roanne Sones, CVP, Head of Xbox Hardware comments: “Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members have access to hundreds of games, including hits like Minecraft Legends, Grounded, Age of Empire IV and many more,” she continues, “With the ROG Ally and Game Pass Ultimate, we can’t wait for people to discover and play their next favorite game on the go, whether it’s playing native PC games with Windows or streaming console games with Xbox Cloud Gaming.”

ROG is also proud to work with Xbox Game Studios, Capcom, HoYoverse, Level Infinite, 505 Games, Team 17, Nacon, Techland, Squanch Games, and Fatshark to provide the best gaming experience on the Ally.
