HAYLOU Flowbuds N55 Review

The HAYLOU Flowbuds N55 is a feature packed pair of affordable earbuds that come wit ANC and LDAC support which is not seen at their pricepoint too often.

The 12.4mm Titanium-coated dynamic drivers deliver superb audio for the price and with ANC going up to 54dB you are in for a treat here when it comes to the total package that you get including the pebble shaped two tone case you get, the earbuds are a typical full stem shape unlike the newer half stemmed buds but this is fine. 

The Flowbuds also come with Bluetooth 6.0 so connectivy loss is zero and has been during my testing over the last few weeks.

At the core is a 12.4mm titanium-coated dynamic driver certified for Hi-Res Audio&LDAC, delivering balanced clarity, controlled bass, and rich detail designed for fatigue-free listening throughout the day.

The audio profile prioritizes clarity and control, ensuring vocals stay clear, bass remains measured, and details are preserved without fatigue.

Highs lows and mids all great only to be personally tuned even more with EQs and their Haylou app which we take a closer look at in the video review down below and be sure to check the video. Instead of aiming for short-term impact, the tuning is designed to support repeated listening throughout the day—across music, calls, and spoken content.

There is controls which you can customise at your will and all the features you require are present, you can also find your headset if lost and you also have wear detection and can be controlled via the app or tapping the earbuds you can change between mode such as transparency and adaptive ANC.

There is gaming mode and multidevice connection mode built in too so for those like me who uses two devices all day long it is a seamless process for anyone and worked really well during my testing.

Calls are fine both ends no issues there either and great battery live and overall a nicely delivered pair of earbuds for the price and noting to really complain about, the cost to perfmance ratio is only getting better these days and Halyou have been great at this with what they give you for the money, see the vide below for more.

SOUNDPEATS Air6 HS Review

The Soundpeats Air6 HS are their latest offering on the earbuds market and affordable which weighs in a 4.og and has been tested with over 10,000 ear contour samples for the perfect fit.

Built around a 13mm dynamic driver with a triple-magnetic circuit, the Air6 HS delivers consistent, detailed audio across all your devices.

With LDAC and Hi-Res Audio certification, it’s a standard recognized by the VGP 2026 Gold and Planning Awards. The high-fidelity experience your Android device was made for.

Air6 HS delivers a natural listening balance that’s easy on the ears. We’ve tuned it for crystal-clear vocals and smooth highs that stay pleasant even after hours of use.

Enjoy punchy, present bass in a semi-in-ear design with the Dynamic EQ in the SOUNDPEATS App, specifically engineered to solve the common “weak bass” concerns

Now these earbuds have no ANC which might concern others and they have tuned these to a better audio experience rather than focus on ANC which has become a staple in earbuds over the years but this is the only trade off you can find here overall with these.

The audio experience for me in my testing has been grea though and expected from soundpeats and any soundpeats fan will agree havng moved up from previous models.

Bass is deeper and crispy sounds all round plus the peats audio app ensure the listener can get their own custom audio experience which has been always the case and their app is one of the best in the game.

With the app you also have spatial audio you will beed to do an adaptive EQ test to get the best results, you have a custom key and all the other fucntions you would expect and including a game mode dynamic EQ and of course LDAC fucntionality.

You also have the find my earbuds option and drainange feauture on board here which is also good to see and the drainage option not often seen even on higher priced earbuds.

You also get up to 9 hours of playback on a single charge, and a total of 45 hours with the case. Quick Charge will give you 10 minutes of charging to get 3 hours of listening. Multipoint Connection is also available and like me you can seamlessly switch between your phone and laptop which I do on a daily basis.

SOUNDPEATS Cove Pro Over-Ear Headphones Review

The SOUNDPEATS Cove Pro Over-Ear Headphones come with Hi-Res Audio and LDAC and for the price you are getting an excellent package and again I will say the need to spend over 200 euro on headphones is gone out the window and SOUNDPEATS have delivered and excellent product here.

These are comfortable to wear with plush cups and again on the headband so for the long duration gamers music listeners or movie watchers these are ideal they also fold up but no travel case included in the box.

There is some controls on these headphones and one one side which is great, with the controls you have call control you can play and pause music skip and reverse tracks and so on you also have access to your voice assistant there is also a dedicated ANC button to switch bewtween modes.

The audio is excellent on these headphones and you should also do your adaptive EQ test to get the best results with the EQs on deck you have a choice you can also create your own if you wish, out of the box using what is there at the ready these sound fanstastic, having tested many genres movies and music they do not dissapoint the 40mm titanium drivers pack a real punch here, calls are fine too and they have excellent ANC there is no lag latencey noted either on testing which is thanks to BT 6.0.

Overalla solid pair of headphones that deliver on audio in all instances and great features for the price there is nothing to complain about.

Battery life is also great here however this vairies per user they claim up to 95 hours but real world testing for me with max volume and ANC etc I averaged about 60 hrs you also get 11 hours of use after a 10 minute charge which is excellent. You can also connect to two devices which is handy for those like me who work on PC laptop and phone.

Overall for the money here these are worth the spend and knowing you will get decent sound an app great battery life and more.

TOZO NC20 Pro earbuds review

The TOZO NC20 Pro is a huge leap forward for TOZO, moving from a “budget alternative” to a serious contender in the mid-range earbud market.The standout feature is the Smart Touchscreen Case, which mirrors the functionality of high-end flagship buds like the JBL Live beam 3 but at a fraction of the cost and has been seen before on again higher end priced manufacturers offerings.

The Smart Touchscreen Case I like it.

The case features a full-color LED display that allows you to control the earbuds without touching your phone. This is not a new feature but it is a feature not seen on earbuds this price and it is huge. You can also change the wallpaper for those who want more customization.

With the case you can toggle ANC modes, adjust volume, change EQ presets, check individual battery percentages, and even “find my earbuds” directly from the screen and much more, See the full hands on video below for more or check the unboxing here

While it might seem like a “gimmick” at first for newcomers to cases with a touchscreen , it is genuinely useful for office workers or students who want to keep their phones tucked away while still having full control over their audio on their case I have tested similar in the past and love the idea.

The sound

Equipped with 12mm drivers and LDAC support and the DLC diaphragm give these a great soundstage is surprisingly wide for an in-ear bud. The Bass: Thanks to the SDLC technology, the low-end is punchy and deep without “bleeding” into the vocals.

The Mids/Highs: The Hi-Res certification shows here; strings and vocals are crisp. It supports a frequency range up to 40 kHz, which is rare at this price point.

Customization: The TOZO app offers 32+ preset EQs, allowing you to tune the sound from “Bass Boost” to “Classical” easily and you can really hear the difference bewtween the EQs something again TOZO have been solid on.

Overall excellent sound as expected from TOZO and at the price you cant complain really with all genres tested audio music videos and more they pass the test with flying colours.

Call quality it also excellent indoors and outdoors.

Adaptive Noise Cancellation (ANC)

TOZO claims up to 52dB of noise reduction. In real-world testing, it excels at removing low-frequency hums (engines, fans). Indoors of course is the best experience but outdoors also good for the price after several weeks of testing.

The “Adaptive” part means the buds automatically increase the ANC strength when you step into a louder environment, which works seamlessly about 90% of the time and in general pretty good in my book.

Battery Life & Durability

The battery life is one of the best in its class. Depenidng on your settings as the all differ to peoples taste as always, you get roughly 12-13 hours with ANC on and 15+ with it off. The case holds an massive amount of extra charge, bringing the total to 80 hours. These also come with an IPX8 rating so they are safe to use outdoors or going to the gym.

If you want the absolute best tech for your hard earned cash, the TOZO NC20 Pro is hard to beat. They are ideal for commuters and travelers who need long battery life and strong ANC, or tech enthusiasts who want the cool factor of the touchscreen case without paying the price of higher end brands and TOZO has consitently put it up to the bigger names with their products and I look forward to seeing what is next from them.

Edifier expands its monitor lineup with the Near-Middle Field Series, led by the XR6. This three-way active monitor includes in-box auto-calibration software that analyzes roomacoustics and automatically optimizes setup, ensuring accurate performance in any workspace.

Status Pro X Earbuds Review

The Status Audio Pro X earbuds are the company’s latest flagship release, aimed squarely at listeners who prioritize exceptional audio quality above all else. Building on the foundation of their previous models (like the Between 3ANC), the Pro X delivers a technically impressive and immersive listening experience, not tested the previous models and can see no reason to need to do so after testing these out.

The single biggest selling point of the Pro X is its internal hardware: a hybrid triple-driver system in each earbud. This setup includes a large 12mm dynamic driver for powerful, controlled bass, and two Knowles balanced armature drivers dedicated to handling the mid-range and high frequencies.

  • Detail and Clarity: This multi-driver approach pays off immediately. The audio fidelity is fantastic, offering outstanding clarity and resolution. You can pick up nuances, instrumental separation, and vocal textures that often get lost in single-driver earbuds.
  • Tuning: Out of the box, the sound signature is dynamic and engaging, featuring deep, tight bass that doesn’t overwhelm the clear mids and crisp, detailed highs. For those who like to customize, the companion app offers an 8-band equalizer (EQ) and presets, including the well-regarded “Knowles Preferred” curve.
  • Hi-Res Audio: The inclusion of advanced Bluetooth codecs like LDAC (for Android users) and the future-proof LC3 means the Pro X can stream high-resolution audio (up to 24-bit/96 kHz), truly utilizing the capability of the triple drivers.

Status has refined the design, making the Pro X significantly smaller and lighter (about 20% smaller) than its predecessors.

  • Fit: They maintain the unique, stemmed, elliptical design but sit more snugly in the ear. While they no longer use the silicone “fitwings,” the ergonomic shape, combined with the multiple included eartips, ensures a secure and comfortable fit for most users, even during long listening sessions and always check for the best tips the ones on might not be the best for everyone.
  • Build: They are rated IP55 for water and dust resistance, making them durable enough for gym use and everyday weather.
  • Controls: The touch controls are reliable and responsive and no issues after some time using them like any other earbuds it is all about the thumb memory.

The Pro X offers hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) that is a massive improvement over previous Status models.

  • ANC Performance: The ANC is highly effective, especially at canceling out consistent low-frequency noises like airplane engines or office hums, reaching up to -52dB of reduction. It’s solid for daily commutes and focusing, overall decent especially in low noise enironments where you can get the best experience.
  • Transparency Mode: The ambient/transparency mode is functional but can sound a bit “artificial” compared to industry leaders.
  • Call Quality: Call clarity is excellent thanks to six beam-forming microphones and Voiceloom AI speech enhancement technology, which effectively suppresses background noise during calls.
  • Connectivity: Features like Multipoint connectivity (allowing simultaneous connection to two devices), Google Fast Pair, and Microsoft Swift Pair work flawlessly and are great for hybrid work. They use the latest Bluetooth 5.3 standard.
  • Battery Life: Status claims up to 8 hours of playback per charge, with 24 hours total from the case. This will vary per user and their setting as with any earbuds or headphones ANC does impede greatly on any.
  • Charging: The case supports both USB-C charging and wireless (Qi) charging ideal for those like me who has adopted this all over my house and office.

The Status Audio Pro X earbuds are designed for the audio enthusiast— A person who can tell the difference between a high-bitrate stream and a standard one. As having the biggest range of earbuds reviewed in Ireland I can confirm these are the dogs, you know what.
