The xFyro ANC are the world’s first AI-powered noise-cancelling earbuds according to the company and great value for money and packed with features galore. Ok so what features you might ask.. A whooping 100 hour battery life to start, IPX5 rated, BT 5.0 , Dual Beamforming mic, Quickcharge with USB-C , Digital Assistant, Transparecny mode AI filters the sounds you need to hear from 6000+ distinct sounds in its memory, and AI powered ANC.
So how do do I find them.. Light, very light, nice fit and comfortable and overall good, volume level for me was not up to what I prefer so that is subjective but everything thing else you need is there at your fingertips and they are easy to execute a command each time without having to keep tapping to execute the task required, there is no app here which would have set them in a league of their own being fair but overall the music was fine here across the board all genres highs lows and mids where more than adequate and delivered a nice balance tone and sounded pretty much central. With my usual test loop on music You Tube and Netflix they done well calls are great too and the only thing for me was the volume level and apart from that they would suit anyone who is looking for earbuds and want all the latest features.
Reinforcing its mission to optimize human performance through improved sleep, acclaimed Finnish tech innovator QuietOn™ today announced the launch of QuietOn 3, the world’s smallest active noise cancelling earbud that significantly reduces low-frequency noise to deliver Nordic calm and quietude regardless of one’s sleeping environment.
The new QuietOn 3 earbuds are the first earbuds small enough to fit entirely inside the ear, making them the only active noise cancelling (ANC) sleep solution that is comfortable enough for everyone, including side sleepers. The superior comfort and pure Nordic quietude lets users enjoy a good night’s sleep for better overall health and a readiness to tackle each day with a clear, rested mind.
According to QuietOn CEO Jussi Lemiläinen, QuietOn 3 debuts at an ideal time – as consumer interest in the benefits of sleep health is at an all-time high, thanks to better sleep education and new tracking devices.
“Everything that we want in life – professional success, personal well-being, physiological health – begins with a good night’s sleep. And a good night’s sleep begins with quietude,” Lemiläinen said. “QuietOn 3 leverages breakthrough ANC technology to create a better environment for sleep, effectively eliminating the low-frequency noises that so often disrupt our sleep.”
Some of the most common noises that interrupt sleep are low-frequency sounds from heating systems, appliances, traffic, airplanes, snoring and noisy neighbors. QuietOn 3’s ANC technology eliminates ambient sound by automatically generating opposite waveforms to nullify the low frequencies, resulting in a much quieter and more peaceful environment for sleep.
“While white noise machines and other noise-masking devices help with lulling one to sleep, the addition of a new noise to overpower background noises can actually prevent or disrupt deep sleep,” continued Lemiläinen. “QuietOn 3 and its breakthrough ANC technology works to eliminate noise to create a sense of calm and quietude that increases both quantity and quality of one’s sleep.”
Additionally, by significantly reducing the earbud’s dimensions, QuietOn succeeded in making the impossible possible – creating the first ANC earbud that fits entirely in the ear, with zero protrusion. Engineering QuietOn 3 to be even smaller than previous versions was a challenge, but the company exceeded expectations by reducing the physical size while increasing battery life.
The size reduction can be traced to QuietOn 3’s sleep-focused design, which eliminates the need for transmitters, receivers and other components typically found in music earbuds. The lack of these audio-specific components also enables operation with zero electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation.
To ensure maximum comfort, each pair of QuietOn 3 comes with four sizes of eartips. With no wireless setup or connectivity required, and automatic charging in the included case, QuietOn 3 earbuds are always ready to pop in and provide more restful sleep.
The QuietOn 3 earbuds charge in the included carrying case, which contains its own battery to guarantee a full-charge at all times. A single charge provides 28 hours of use, so the earbuds have the power to last all day, or for several nights.

“The introduction of new technologies like circadian-based lighting and sleep trackers underscore that high-quality sleep is now a central focus of people’s efforts to improve their general health and well being,” Lemiläinen added. “With QuietOn 3, we look forward to joining this movement by demonstrating the critical importance of quietude to sleep performance and, ultimately, overall wellbeing and human performance.”
The Skullcandy Indy ANC are the latest true wireless on offer and in fact is one of their best selling line and the new Indy should with ease continue to keep the trend, the new earbuds are similar to their previous model but much more enhanced and pack all the features you come to expect from the brand and not only this the sound quality is excellent and for the money you will find it hard to get the same level of value here with all the features given.
Recently reviewed here the all new Skullcandy Hesh ANC the brand has boosted their range with great quality and sound and the earbuds are no different , it is hard to pull off great ANC on earbuds but they have done so here and due to their enhanced fit you will feel all the benefits.
They do at first feel a bit large but once fitted with the right tip you are good to go and you will notice the external sound vanish more or less, next up then is to tune them up with the Skullcandy App and you are good to go and also lets not forget TILE here too.
There controls are easy to use here and there is several modes and the MOVIE mode is fantastic if you watch movies or Netflix and is my chosen mode for all use it is just great and suits me. When it comes to your listening experience all round it is a win, nice and loud highs, lows and mids are great, sound, direction and they almost do a great job as their headphones and that is saying something. Also not forgetting the modes you can switch between and like I said try the movie mode and of course ambient mode is present here too.
You can expect around 15 hours on a full charge with ANC ON and high volume and for a standard use you can get up to 19 hours so the battery endurance is just below par here but you can forgive that with their feature set, you can also you these individually which is important for many people today and it works well and also to note this works fine with calls and they sound fine with calls being clear both ends. Last thing to mention is wireless charging which I have adopted big time with earbuds and this is present, see the video for more below..
Mobi Earbuds: The Hybrid ANC Headphones Powered by Artificial Intelligence. Artificial intelligence (AI) is going to take over the world. But first, it might be taking over your music collection. And after trying the Mobi next-gen hybrid ANC earbuds, we’re warming up to the robo-apocalypse!
These brand new earbuds feature a new kind of hybrid ANC technology that cancels the full range of audio frequency. That means you can listen to your music in total silence even when you’re out and about.
The headphones also have AI-powered features that keep you safer and more aware while you’re on the go. Don’t worry, we’ll explain everything below. If you want to see Mobi for yourself, you can check them out here. You can get a pair for nearly 60% off if you pre-order!
Here’s what you need to know about the new Mobi Earbuds.
Key Features
Here’s a breakdown of the features of these premium earbuds.
Next-gen hybrid ANC
AI-powered Transparency Mode
12 mm speaker drivers
100-hour battery life
IPX6 waterproof
Ergonomic fit
Bluetooth 5.2
Quad-beamforming mic (with AI-boosted calling)
Digital assistant access (Siri, Google, etc.)
Wireless charging
Touch controls
Mobi delivers some features we’ve seen before and some we haven’t. Below, we’ll go into more detail on what Mobi does better than the competition.
Next-gen Hybrid ANC
Next-gen hybrid active noise cancelling (ANC) sounds cool, but what is it? Mobi’s new version of hybrid ANC is like standard hybrid ANC but with an extra microphone. This allows the ANC program to detect movement and distance with much more precision than before (think of it like having two eyes instead of one).
But before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s brush up on hybrid ANC tech. Here’s a quick recap.
Hybrid ANC uses one feedforward mic on the exterior of the earbud and one feedback mic on the interior to cancel more noise than just one mic could do. The exterior mic captures sounds from your environment, and the interior mic listens to what you hear from the speakers to correct the sound neutralisation or cancel additional noise.
Mobi’s hybrid ANC has an extra feedforward mic, so it can better detect and cancel a broader range of noises from your environment. This is how Mobi is able to offer full-frequency ANC—from high pitches like conversations and car breaks to low ones like motors and fans.
The AI-assisted feedback mic listens to your music with you, further correcting the ANC until all you hear is your music. The AI is so precise that it can even cancel the noises made by the earbuds when they shift in your ears.
Mobi’s 30 dB of ANC power is much stronger than competitors’. Apple’s AirPods Pro only have 20 dB ANC, or 50% less.
The Power of AI
We already spoke a bit about Mobi’s AI and how it assists the hybrid ANC. But, it has another ANC mode all its own.
Mobi’s AI Transparency Mode is an ANC feature you can turn on and off when you need it. It selectively filters sounds from your environment through the ANC barrier to keep you aware when you need to be.
Mobi’s AI recognizes 6000+ different ambient sounds, and with Transparency Mode active, it will pass certain sounds through the speakers to your ears. These sounds include sirens, alarms, digital assistance like Alexa and voices speaking to you. This will keep you safer when you’re on the go, especially if you listen to music while you cycle or run. It’s also helpful for commuters on foot.
Another perk is that you won’t have to turn off your music or take out your earbuds to have a conversation. Mobi’s AI will detect the voice speaking to you and pass it through the earbuds’ speakers. When it does this, the volume of your music will lower automatically.
Bigger Speakers for Better Sound
The easiest way to find out if your headphones have high-quality audio is to check the driver size. Bigger drivers almost always mean better sound. That’s because larger speakers reverberate more air molecules to produce bigger, body-hugging audio.
This is an important distinguishing factor in true wireless earbuds because the speakers inside them are tiny. Most earbuds contain speakers between 4-8 mm in diameter.
Mobi’s are 12 mm. These oversized drivers make the earbuds look a bit bulkier. But the improvement in sound quality is well worth it. These giant drivers make Mobi sound like over-ear headphones. They have that surround-sound-esque quality that you only get from nice studio headphones.
Mobi excels at bass tones. The bass actually shakes your body like it’s coming from an external speaker! I’m not sure how good it is for your ears, but if you’re into electronic music, Mobi are the earbuds you want.
Waterproof and Durable
I don’t know about you, but if I can’t wear a pair of headphones in the rain, I won’t buy them. Mobi pass my durability tests on all counts. IPX5 waterproofing is all you need for the weather we get in Ireland, and Mobi has an IPX6 rating.
This is more than enough for any type of weather, and as an added bonus, you can wear them in the shower or the sauna.
Besides waterproofing, Mobi are sealed and reinforced to prevent the entry of debris. You can wear them to sandy or dusty places without anything getting lodged inside.
An Industry-topping Battery
Mobi’s 100-hour battery seemed too good to be true. But it’s the real deal. Mobi earbuds can go 10 hours on a charge, and there are 90 more hours of power in the carrying case.
Mobi’s battery lasts so long thanks to a little help from artificial intelligence. The AI-powered ANC doesn’t put up a wall of ANC like other headphones do. It targets each sound and uses only the necessary amount of power to cancel it. This makes the ANC much more energy-efficient.
When the earbuds are ready for a charge, they can power up to 6 hours of playback with just a 15-minute charge in the carrying case. The case itself charges in just 2 hours. And, it can charge via USB-C or Qi wireless charging.
Clearer Calls from More Mics
If you make a lot of hands-free calls, you’ll want to switch to Mobi. All those feedforward mics used for the ANC do double-time as beamforming mics when you make calls. They make a sort of quad-beamforming mic for much more accurate voice and movement detection.
Mobi’s mics can isolate your voice even when you’re moving quickly or in a noisy environment. The person or people you’re calling will hear nothing from your surroundings, which can be helpful if you’re taking important meetings in the car or at the gym.
The AI will also work during calls to cancel any noises based on what it hears from the feedback mic.
Your Own World of Music
I don’t know what sort of world AI will make for us in the future. But with Mobi, you can enjoy your own world of music right now. The hybrid ANC cancels all noise for a studio-quality listen. And the oversized drivers make your music feel like it’s all around you.
If you’re a hardcore over-ear headphone fan, Mobi may be the earbuds to change your mind. And why not pick up a pair? If you pre-order, you can get Mobi earbuds for about €60. That’s an unbelievably low price for a pair of premium earbuds. Let me remind you that Mobi’s oversized drivers, ANC tech and battery life run circles round €200+ earbuds by Apple, Bose and Sony.
This price is only available for another week or so during Mobi’s pre-sale. Make sure you click the link above or head to mobiearbuds.com to get yours!
