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.
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..
Naenka Lite Pro uses Qualcomm’s latest Bluetooth 5.2 chip to support Aptx/AAC high-quality transmission protocol. Qualcomm 3040 chip low-power dissipation solution, single time charging supports the playtime up to 7 hours, and 28 hours with the backup of charging case. It enables 1-2 days trips charging free.

The talking quality is comparable to the direct cash register of the mobile phone, and completely release your hands during the communication. On using these earbuds these have proven great for gaming videos, you tube Netflix and much more with loud volume which i like best and great bass highs lows and mids and direction on max volume watching films these are superb to say the least and I was not expecting such so overall a superb experience.
Naenka Lite Pro also uses dual microphones with ENC noise reduction technology, dramatically reduces environmental noise, accurately calculates the caller’s position, and has a wind-proof cavity design.
A single earphone weighs only 3.8g, which is as light as feather, wearing it senselessly.

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.

Next-gen hybrid ANC
AI-powered Transparency Mode

100-hour battery life
IPX6 waterproof
Ergonomic fit
Bluetooth 5.2

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!

Back in 2019 we checked out the TWS1 and now Edifier has the new TWS1PRO for us to check out and they are indeed an improvement however Edifier have been constant with their audio signature and their products are solid and the TWS NB remain my favourite to date but they have more to come and we cant wait to try them out in the coming weeks.
The TWS1 PRO may look the same but have improved with sound and hopefully like the TWS1 they come in a new range of colours too later on which are super affordable. Check out the GREEN model here.
So how do these sound and feel? Great fit given a little on the large side some might say but on par with many others on the market they are packing a good punch sound great and they fit well overall. Controls are simple to use here again with the large touch area on the housing with the Edifier logo prominent. We go through the controls in the video review below which as mentioned simple to use, there is however some features missing but its the sound signature that wins, highs lows and mids are fine direction and clarity is great too ,same for calls also these can be used individually which is important and the volume is decently loud too so I cant complain for the price here.
The previous TWS1 receives a full ‘core’ upgrade in the new TWS1 Pro earbuds. Now featuring Qualcomm TrueWireless Mirroring technology, bud-to-bud role-swapping is supported and is even more seamless than before. Both earbuds use this technology to connect to your mobile phone, providing a more stable, wireless signal transmission which makes it easier to switch between single ear and binaural uses.
The TWS1 Pro also feature the latest Bluetooth v5.2, using the newly upgraded Qualcomm QCC3040 chipset, which provides a faster transmission, lower power consumption and a more stable link. The second generation of Qualcomm aptX Adaptive Technology ensures the lossless and low-latency transmission of audio. These two technologies work in harmony to create an immersive, reliable listening experience with minimal interruptions. The high-quality PU and titanium diaphragms in each earbud provide crystal clear sound with punchy bass and rich details, producing a true representation of your chosen audio.
The Soul S-FIT are the last of the trio in we had for review and are aimed at the folk into fitness, having said that anyone can wear these and will be pleased with the overall performance however the fit is the key point here which is super secure even for those out on walks or working out at home. Again available in colours that pop these will grab attention should you bump into anyone and people have asked about them whilst I tested them out when jogging etc. Check out the unboxing and comparison between the trio below..
As mentioned these are primarily for the fitness folks and these will not budge also giving you a good seal from the outside work yet you do have transparency mode, you also get the IP67 rating here with ergo fit and freebit wings for an even more fit. These also come with shock resistance built in which is something you do not see every day and yes I have dropped them once or twice and all is good still now, you get a solid 33 hours battery life with AAC codec and USB-C fast charge, the touch controls work well here like all their earbuds and it is easy to get the thumb memory going. Of course you have access to your voice assistance here too for those who use these features..
How they sound is what you want to hear and overall they are decent with a similar signature to the SYNC ANC and you will be pleased with the performance, there is no ANC here but overall you get that good seal. Highs lows and mids are fine with good direction and no lag latency so even for those who buy these and use them at home like regular earbuds you will find them more than adequate. Check the video below for more..
Soul sent us these to review and are seeing the review the same time as you..
Next up for review is the SOUL sync ANC TWS earbuds which again come in really nice pastel colours and offer are targeted for those who like that bit more from their earbuds and offer more than the NANO we recently checked out which are a serious bang for your buck when it comes to sound. You can check out the trio below in the unboxing and see what is on offer and all in all you get great value for money and colours that pop, but it is not all down to looks I hear you say it is down to how they sound what matters..
The design and fit of the Sync are really nice and look great, these have a small stem in comparison to others but a nice sized touch area to control your music which is simple. Once on they offer a great seal alone and then you can switch between modes to suit your needs or surroundings, the ANC works really well and I have a test case to do this in my house which is a fan and this is almost blocked out once fitted, Once the ANC is activated you do not hear the fan and most noise, You will never get the same level of ANC with TWS earbuds as you will headphones, Just now anyway but the technology is improving every day, In general they do a great job with noise cancelling.
When it comes to sound they are pretty good but not as loud as I would like they seem to be to less loud of of the Three I have have hear which is fine most folk use about 70/80% of the volume where I am a full volume person and that is just me and at that level they where not the loudest I tested but this is common and probably better for the ears anyway. Direction, Instruments, highs, lows and mids where fine and a good balance also with voice and voice calls where fine and you can again use these on their own be it left or right which is often a feature left out in even more expensive earbuds.
Overall you cant go wrong with these earbuds and they look really trendy and pop out and from wearing them out walking etc people have stopped and asked my who makes these so that is nice to see, you will not get the loudest volume here but a good overall result with some bass thrown in too. Battery life is on par however with ANC on like any other earbuds with ANC you will draw that power faster and see around 20-22 hours of life using ANC and volume up high.
SOUL sent us this press sample and are seeing this review the same time as you..
