Tech Review – Edifier TWS NB2. #TrueWireless #Edifier #TWSNB2

Edifiers latest true wireless earbuds take some design language from the TWS NB which on their own are one of my favourite earbuds still today and in my top ten which is some feat considering the amount of True Wireless we test here which is the biggest range in Ireland. The TWS NB2 have a stem on board and you can easily see a smaller earbud too with a different approach but do they stand up to the test and beat the former?

They come in a nice case to start with and USB- C charging which is great and also sports the edifier connect app which gives you some room to change the experience, First the looks, they look great they look sharp with sharp looking corners but they don’t hurt or dig into your hand when holding them as they have a tapered finish with a metallic look but they are made from plastic however strong like the original TWSNB.

The comfort is quite quite nice and much of the outside world is blocked out when fitted with the right tips this is important for any earbud they are on the thicker side with the stems but nice with more of a tapered approach rather than a straight stem which is more commonplace. The touch area is better here and similar to the TWS NB you have a bigger area to paly with that makes the command easier and a 100% accuracy rate once you get the hang of them and I cant complain here, there is some features missing but minor and we go into all this in the video below where we look at the app and the controls and what you need to do.

ANC is great on these and again pass my testing standards, I have a fan beside my bed for white noise and in general they block out pretty much everything especially indoors, outdoors too is even good here, When it comes to the sound this is what most people are here for and I am glad to report they are excellent and Edifier never fail in this department with their signature sound, these get plenty aloud have a nice level of bass great direction and centre staged, for me using them on my typical test loops they are a win, highs lows and mids are on par. Netflix, YouTube and music is all great and calls too, battery life also is another win up at the higher end when it comes to True Wireless so overall you will not be disappointed with there and anyone that uses the edifier brand life myself on a constant basis will be well please with these and easy recommendation from me and for the price you cant go wrong for a solid product. See the video for more.

Edifier sent us these to review with no copy approval or influence and are seeing the review the same time as you.

Skullcandy is launching new tiny earbuds costing £29.99. #Skullcandy #Dime

Skullcandy, the #1 selling brand in Stereo Headphones*1 and True Wireless Earbuds*2 under $100, announced today its all-new Dime True Wireless Earbuds. Priced at £29.99 MSRP, the latest solution outperforms other earbuds at the same price point, offering an affordable way to get into the true wireless game.  Dime grants users the freedom to live without wires, combining expertly tuned audio with a noise-isolating fit and must-have features, like a microphone in each bud. Available now at Skullcandy.co.uk and major retailers nationwide, Dime delivers a pocket-friendly, stylish form factor in a variety of colours that won’t break the bank.

Intuitive, touch-enabled media controls on the compact stick-style buds enable Dime users to effortlessly take calls, change tracks, adjust volume and activate native voice assistants like Google and Siri, all without ever reaching for their devices.

“Despite being the fastest-growing segment in stereo headphones, true wireless earbuds still account for less than half of the market,” said Jeff Hutchings, Skullcandy Chief Product Officer, referring to 2020 NPD Unit Share data. “Our all-new Dime True Wireless Earbuds are intent on changing that. Offering stellar sound and unmatched simplicity at a price that makes it possible to throw a pair in every bag, Dime breaks down all barriers formerly associated with true wireless.”

• Up to 12 Hours of Battery Life – Listen longer with 3.5 hours of battery life in the earbuds and 8.5 hours in the charging case

• True Wireless via Bluetooth® 5.0

• Noise-Isolating Fit – Experience supreme sound with expertly selected and tuned microphones and drivers

• IPX4 Sweat and Water Resistance – Go on an adventure without missing a beat

• Integrated Lanyard – Rely on secure portability that protects the charge case and buds from drops

• Micro-USB Charging Case with Snap Lid

Available in a range of colourways, Dime gives users the freedom to express themselves. Users can choose between four colourways including Dark Blue/Green, Light Grey/Blue, Dark Grey and True Black to show off their personality or style match individual looks.

Dime was built to keep up with an active lifestyle and is backed by Skullcandy’s Fearless Use Promise®. If a user happens to lose or break any of the components, they can purchase buds and cases separately from Skullcandy to replace them with ease.

Tech Review – House of Marley Champion True Wireless. #Tech #TWS

House of Marley recently announced their latest TWS earbuds called the “Champion” and I have been testing them out for a few days now and as expected I was impressed given the price the come in at. However there is bargains to be had in the true wireless market these days and great value for money these days and the cost to performance ratio is getting better all the time which is great for the consumer overall.

This time around we get an affordable pair of earbuds built around the same idea of the Redemption which are an excellent pair of True Wireless but more expensive however worth the money. We get that bamboo touch again and an in ear style this time around rather than stems, they did at first look like they would not stay in my ears but the right tips and they offer a snug fit and have not dropped out and give good isolation off the bat. The charging case is really nice and pocketable and has a touch of bamboo on top and this complements the earbuds which have a really satisfying click and make for easy commands too which is nice and one of the best controls I have used in a while and due to the surface area you will not make mistakes or accidental clicks.

When it comes to sound this is what most folk are here for and overall really good with a level of bass thrown in and these are loud too, you have most controls at hand here, they can be used independently too which is important for some and you get quick charge thrown in which is an added bonus they do have a decent battery life too. The sound though overall good and no distortion on high volume found in my testing highs,lows and mids good and good direction and crisp voice, same applies to calls which where fine on both ends and clear so overall there is no complaints here.

When people see the word “eco” or “sustainable” sign on tech they fear a loss of quality but that is not the case and something to expect going forward from all manufacturers of tech..

CHAMPION PRODUCT FEATURES

  • Materials: Bamboo, natural wood fibre composite, REGRIND™ recycled silicone
  • 8 hour battery life, 28 hours of total playtime
  • Ear housing touch control
  • IPX4 certified water and sweat resistant design
  • USB-C quick charge technology (15 min = 2 hours)
  • Bluetooth™ 5.0 + BLE
  • RRP: £59.99
