Tech Review – HAYLOU X1 2023 earbuds

The HAYLOU X1 2023 are the latest earbuds on offer from the brand and are a clean simple o but familiar looking pair of earbuds with a gloss finish but with a nice metal case that is like a pebble and easy to fit into any pocket. Branding is kept to a minimum here with just the brand marking on the case which has an LED light around the charging port which is really nice looking and of course USB-C.

These earbuds have most of the features expected, Sound overall here is decent though, nice crisp and clear with an EQ to change things up you can also change the controls and we are down with some features like auto play and pause and voice assistant which is not really a huge gripe with me, however with the functions on the App you are limited to two controls per side however all the other features are present but you can of course set these up to what suits your needs best as everyone is different when it comes to situations like this.

The App 

 

As you can see there is less of a feature set here compared to their latest headphones which are quite remarkable for their price and the same applies here when it comes to the sound given we have less to play with, volume is decently loud we have a latency mode, no lag latency in general noted and also decent highs lows and mids with a nice bass to them, the pop EQ is very bright but the bass and rock EQs are good and my personal choice here to my own taste.

Overall a decent pair of earbuds with responsive touch controls and in general work well, they are comfortable and discreet enough and look well and their charging case is pretty cool too.

Edifier Launches The New W320TN Earbuds With Adaptive Noise Cancellation And AI Multimodal Adaptive System

True Wireless Adaptive Noise Cancellation Earbuds with AI Multimodal Adaptive System, Hi Res sound, 27.5 hours battery life and a new open fit design for an ultra-comfortable fit.

The Edifier W320TN earbuds feature an advanced AI Multimodal Adaptive System that employs a combination of various sounds and algorithms to provide users with top notch noise cancellation, 

superior sound quality and clear calling capabilities. With these earbuds, users can enjoy an immersive experience with no distracting ambient noise and make and take calls with ease thanks to the advanced noise cancellation technologies. The earbuds also come with multiple modes that allow users to customize their audio experiences with the Edifier Connect App. 

The Edifier W320TN introduces an AI Multimodal Adaptive System which combines multiple sounds and algorithms to ensure that users have the strongest noise cancellation, the best sound quality and the clearest calls. The W320TN creates an appropriate depth of noise reduction. Air leakage was identified as the issue impacting sound quality and immersive experiences in earphones. Through careful testing and analysis, parameters were set to balance perception of the real world with the desired immersive environment. This leads to improved sound quality and a more satisfying user experience.

The W320TN is equipped with LDAC audio encoding and decoding, with a sampling rate of 96kHz/24 bit. They also transmit 3 times the music details when compared to other earbuds, avoiding sound loss during transmission.

Crystal clear voice calls can be experienced with advanced technology featuring 3 + 3 microphones and AI Adaptive Environmental Noise Cancellation. Say goodbye to background noise and enjoy uninterrupted conversations with family and friends. This feature ensures that users will be heard loud and clear, no matter where they are, allowing users to stay connected with confidence and clarity.

The Edifier W320TN has a long battery life. For just 10 minutes of charge, users will get an hour of use. With ANC on, playtime will be 3.5 hours for the earbuds and 14 hours with the charging case whilst with ANC off there will be 5.5 hours playtime for the earbuds and 22 hours with the charging case.

The W320TN features an open fit design. The earbuds are ergonomic and fit snugly into the ear without causing any pressure on the actual ear. The built in infra-red wearing detection sensor intelligently knows the wearing status – keeping noise cancellation on and playing music when the earbuds are put into the ear and pausing noise cancellation and music when the buds are taken out of the ears. The W320TN can be connected to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously for fast switching between devices. With Google Fast Pair, the W320TN can quickly and effortlessly pair with your Android device under Bluetooth.

Edifier W320TN

With a low latency of 80ms in game mode, users are able to master a variety of mobile games.

Tech Review – Soundpeats Air4

The Soundpeats Air4 is one of many new earbuds on offer at affordable prices from the company and there is also the Air4 lite which we will have our next review on so both very similar sets or earbuds and look identical, today we are here to discuss the Air4 version which we have been testing some time now.

Presentation again is standard with the earbuds and familiar packaging keeping the brand identifiable as expected and overall a simple but to the point presentation with all the manuals and cables required in the box, you may notice an eartip compartment in the box but this is just due to standard packaging which is fine as these earbuds do not require tips to fit they are a standard fir with stems and the stems being on the smaller side which for me is better.

The case is finished in matt black looks well and is very clean with a fliptop lid a pairing /reset button and gold accents to match the earbuds which all ties in well with one another. The case is small and pebble like and will fit in any pocket and is not finished in gloss which is great so no fingerprints.

The style is quite nice and looks well and very simple but sleek and fit well in my ears though these being a fixed and finished product they might not suit some peoples ears but for me all good here. They are comfortable to wear for long periods of time and I had no issues with discomfort doing so during my testing.

On setting up you should dio the adaptive EQ test this is to get the best results for you and only you and is a common feature seen today on earbuds and headphones.

 

The App

The app as seen above is a familiar offering yet simple to use with an easy UI to navigate, all the features are here as expected bar reverse track, you can play and pause, higher and lower volume activate your voice assistant and call management you do have again a full suite of EQ settings which is great and with soundpeats you do hear a difference between them all unlike other apps with EQs built in, tried and tested on many of soundpeats earbuds this app is good. Again we have a gamers mode we have ANC here and triple mics with noise cancelling making for decent calls and less of the outside world.

Soundpeats Air4 – techbuzzireland

 

Overall again we have an affordable pair of earbuds here offering plenty for their price with decent sound and overall a decent package which soundpeats is now known for saving you money and getting value for money over other overhyped earbuds out there in which some do  not even offer an EQ app to help you customize your earbuds. Check the video review below for more.

 

Features

    • Snapdragon Sound with aptX Lossless
    • 13mm Dynamic Driver for Immersive Sound
    • Adaptive ANC Tech& Triple Mics Noise-Cancellation
    • 88ms Low Latency Game Mode
    • Total 26 Hrs Playtime& App Control
    • BT5.3 for Stable Multipoint Connection

Tech Review – SOUNDPEATS Air4 Lite

The SOUNDPEATS Air4 Lite is a wireless earbud with a sleek and modern design. The earbuds have touch controls that allow you to play/pause music, skip tracks, and answer/end calls.  The earbuds are made of plastic, but they feel sturdy and well-built weighing in at 20 grams. The charging case is also made of plastic and has a matte finish. The charging case changes colour related to the battery from Green, yellow, or red or the indicator flashes slowly when charging.

Contents

  •         Air4 Lite Earbuds
  •         Charging Cable
  •         Charging Case
  •         User Manual

 

The App is standard  in terms of downloading While annoying on the setup it requests where you purchase your hardware from, e.g. Amazon or other

The wording on this screen could change to I hear tones, ( as no voices are used in the tests )

The SOUNDPEATS  App via the Play Store has over 100 K downloads while has a score of 1.8 out of 5 from 5.46K reviews, This low score is expected due to the limited functionality of the app rather than technical issues as having used the app for a few weeks, no technical bugs were seen. While the asking where the unit was purchased can be perceived as intrusive.

The earphones have the standard Control as would be expected, by tapping the multifunction button or either the left or right ear.

  •         Play/Pause
  •         Answer/End Call
  •         Volume Down
  •         Volume Up
  •         Skip to the Next Track
  •         Activate Voice Assistant

Warranty 1-year warranty

Conclusion:

The SOUNDPEATS Air4 Lite is a wireless earbud that offers high-resolution audio at an affordable price, the case is modern with a decent battery life and response time. The charging case is light and comfortable to hold. The supplied USB-C charging cable is a bonus ensuring only 1 cable would be required if travelling with an Android phone. The earphone’s frequency response range is reputable with the noise-cancelling mic a bonus.

On the practical side a niggle in terms of removing the earphones from the case and having to turn the earphones to fit into your ear, this motion while awkward can also result in the volume button being accidentally pressed. The case while reliable is made of a plastic with a matte finish with finger marks observed on the case after use.

Overall the SOUNDPEATS Air4 Lite is a great option without breaking the bank by getting high-resolution audio and, a sleek design, The audio quality in terms of listening to music and noise cancelling noise-cancellation during calls is respectable for the value of the product.

#IFA2023 – Jabra launches world’s toughest and most comfortable Elite earbuds. Elite Active 8 and Elite 10

Jabra, leader in personal sound and hybrid work solutions, today launches two new premium models to expand the top end of their Elite true wireless earbuds range. The Jabra Elite 8 Active, tested to be the world’s toughest earbuds*, and the Elite 10, Jabra’s most advanced earbuds for work and life with clear calls, all-day comfort and optimised to deliver a more immersive Dolby Atmos experience through Dolby Head Tracking.                                                

The world’s toughest earbuds

 Jabra’s new addition to its active range, the Elite 8 Active, will set a new standard for durability and fit. Built for much more than running or sports, they are designed to be durable enough for users regardless of what they choose to do and wherever life takes them. 

Jabra Elite 8 Active

 

The Elite 8 Active buds pass all the required tests for the US Military Standard for Ruggedized Electronics (810H). That is everything from humidity and high temperature to rain and altitude. They are completely watertight when submerged up to 1.5m – they are IP68 rated, meaning they are fully dust and waterproof, whilst the charging case is IP54 rated to be dust and splashproof. In addition, we put the Elite 8 Active through their paces with Highly Accelerated Corrosion Testing (HACT). This requires the earbuds to pass 11 full cycles of testing, including enduring 2 hours in 40°C temperatures with 93% humidity, going through a 15-minute splash test in salt water, and surviving a 15-minute 40°C heat drying test, to successfully prove their anti-corrosion credentials. All of this whilst staying secure in the ear with the improved grip provided by Jabra ShakeGrip™ technology. 

While Jabra Elite 8 Active earbuds are proud to be tough, they have not sacrificed their sound, nor aesthetic. They are made to fuel workouts with incredible sound thanks to Dolby Audio, which delivers lifelike, clear sound for a longer and more comfortable listening experience. The Adaptive Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) automatically optimises the ANC performance to the environment you’re in. Wind Neutralising HearThrough™ technology also muffles any wind interference without blocking out traffic, ensuring safety without compromising on steady sound.  

With 6-mic call technology and wind noise protecting mesh, stable smartwatch connectivity**, Google Assistant, Fast Pair, Swift Pair and Spotify Tap, battery life for up to 8 hours (32 hours with a case), these earbuds are just as good for working as for working out.  

Dialling-up your Dolby Atmos listening experience 

Jabra’s new top-of-the-line Elite 10 earbuds promise the best combination of comfort, sound and calls anywhere, for both work and life. These true wireless earbuds, which are optimised for enjoying content in Dolby Atmos, are truly immersive and Jabra’s first earbuds to support Dolby Head Tracking. Dolby Head Tracking engages listeners in a whole new way by keeping them in the centre of the soundstage as they move their head, enabling a more natural sound experience for all your favourite entertainment, including both Dolby Atmos and stereo content. And when available, the combination of Dolby Head Tracking together with Dolby Atmos content further elevates the sound with incredible detail and clarity for the ultimate Dolby Atmos listening experience.  

 

Jabra Elite 10 – techbuzzireland

 

The Elite 10 also eliminates surrounding noise with Jabra Advanced Active Noise CancellationTM. The ultra-powerful ANC auto-adjusts for what’s around you. This is achieved by infrasonic waves that measure the ear canal and algorithms which detect noise leakage and wind conditions. As a result, the earbuds will automatically switch to the highest ANC gain in noisier environments and reduce the gain in quiet places. 

Designed with learnings from Elite 7 Pro for fit and Elite 85t for all-day wearing comfort, the Elite 10 is the first in Jabra’s true wireless earbuds range to offer Jabra ComfortFit technology for the most natural, airy fit and less occlusion, due to its semi-open design that relieves ear pressure, allowing users to walk and talk in comfort. Every surface the ear touches is made of soft silicon for a snug fit, meaning less wearing fatigue for all-day use. These earbuds are also designed to cater for more ear shapes and sizes than ever before. 

The Elite 10 is complete with 6-mic call technology for crystal-clear calls, 6-hour battery (27 hours with case), including a pocket friendly cradle optimised for wireless charging, Bluetooth Multipoint connection, hands-free voice assistance and easy pairing.    

Calum MacDougall, SVP at Jabra, said, “Jabra has been successful by identifying user needs and then applying our unique audio engineering capabilities to meet those needs. For Elite 10, we focused on comfort and calls and music performance to meet the need for all day use from music to meetings. For Elite 8 Active, we meet the need for users to be confident to use their earbuds, wherever they are, from work to work-out”. 

Javier Foncillas, VP Commercial Partnerships & Global Sales at Dolby Laboratories said, “Dolby innovations have redefined how entertainment is created and experienced for consumers across the world. We share Jabra’s passion and ambition for quality, and the combination of the new hero Elite range together with Dolby’s latest audio innovations like Dolby Head Tracking and Dolby Audio are a perfect match.”

Unboxing and first look 

Tech Review – Tranya Nova earbuds

The Tranya Nova earbuds are one of the latest on offer from the company we have in for review sporting the latest technology at reduced prices, speaking see see below for a further discount on the latest from the company.

The Tranya Nova Bluetooth earphones are powered by the advanced Qualcomm QCC3072 chip and aptX technology. Customized “Tranya Audio” APP gives you all the control you want on your earbuds. 39 total hours of wireless playtime. With 12mm powerful dynamic drivers, advanced aptX Adaptive codecs and our proprietary SonicMax™ technology that can SIGNIFICANTLY enhance clarity and separation, the Tranya Nova wireless earbuds provide an exceptional immersive listening experience, we take a look at the app and the features below and also check out the video review to show you the options at hand which makes for better listening.

The design and build is familiar however they settle well in the years and will not fall out and are comfortable to wear for several hours and for the gamers this will be great to coincide with the game mode option present so it will enhance the gaming experience which for me is little use but tried it out and works well.

The audio experience again here is great at the price point  you have EQ settings to toggle with to get that perfect sound for you and also the earbuds are fully customizable with their control options again nodding up to 5 taps to set a control if wish to do so, for me 4 is more than enough but Tranya take it to another level if you require it. The audio is great, crisp and clear you have bass and sliders to adjust the tone, highs lows and mids are fine and overall a decent audio experience for the price as expected from Tranya.

Adopt Tranya’s exclusive SonicMax™ technology to improve the sound quality, dynamic range and sound details of audio by using special audio algorithms and processing techniques. It enhances the listening experience of music, movies, games and other audio content and provides richer, clearer and deeper audio effects.

They are also decently loud too, calls are clear no lag latency and no distortion when maxed out which are always good signs of a better tuned earbuds which have 12mm dynamic drivers hybrid ANC and 6 mics for calls which works well as mentioned and 6 mics is something not often seen at this price point and for the gamers you have 47ms latency.

Battery life is decent enough too with wireless charging which is always nice to see giving you 36 hours in total, 9 hours on a single charge and with 30 mins wireless charging you can gain 2 hours of play which is great if you are committed to wireless charging like I am for example. With ANC on however you can get around 30-40 mins less with max volume on your earbuds, the ANC works well and is up there with other high end brands but more affordable here. Another bonus here is multipoint connection so for me as usual the laptop and phone are always paired and it is a seamless transition.

Overall for the money here you get plenty of bang for your hard earned buck it has to be said, the case and earbuds might look on the cheap side but don’t judge a book by its cover as they say.
