Bang & Olufsen Beoplay E8 true wireless earbuds review

[ad_1] You can customize the sound though the B&O companion app, though. You can choose one of five audio presets: Optimal (default), Commute, Clear, Workout and Podcast. To me the Optimal preset sounded best. The difference between most presets is subtle, but you can definitely tell a difference. The biggest change is between Optimal and […]

Galaxy Buds+ review: Samsung finally has a worthy AirPods alternative

[ad_1] On iOS, the Galaxy Buds+ don’t sync with notifications and Samsung’s Gaming Mode for the earbuds isn’t available. It may seem like using these new buds with an iOS device is limited, but trust me, it’s a lot better than it used to be. Just having a dedicated app is a huge improvement. It’s […]

JLab Go Air review: These $29 wireless earbuds are surprisingly decent

[ad_1] Overall, the sound quality on the Go Air is mediocre. I didn’t expect to be wowed by a $29 set of earbuds, but they’re probably fine for some people. More specifically, the sound is compressed and thin. Even with the best of the audio presets, there was a lack of depth to almost all […]

Audio-Technica ATH-CK3TW review: Decent, affordable true wireless earbuds

[ad_1] For those touch controls, Audio-Technica put volume adjustments on the left side and track controls on the right. A single tap on the left earbud increases volume while a double tap will lower it. This sounds simple enough, but when you want to turn the audio way down, and you’re in a hurry to […]

Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Buds+ leak together in official-looking shots

[ad_1] Apart from the cameras (including a 108-megapixel shooter on the Ultra), the Galaxy S20 range is expected to be a more evolutionary upgrade with speedier Snapdragon 865 processors in some countries, up to 16GB of RAM and 120Hz displays. The Galaxy Buds+, meanwhile, would have much-improved battery life and call quality without changing the […]

Samsung’s Galaxy Buds+ will reportedly lack active noise cancellation

[ad_1] When we reviewed the Galaxy Buds last March, one of our complaints was the average audio quality. The new earbuds promise improved sound, but we don’t know yet how they’ll deliver that. The Galaxy Buds lost points, too, for poor microphone quality. SamMobile says the Galaxy Buds+ will have four microphones — two more […]

Apple’s AirPods drop to $129 on Amazon

[ad_1] The pros and cons of the AirPods are well-established by this point. The sound quality is merely okay, there’s no water resistance, and the design offers neither extensive control nor a secure fit for some listeners. And of course, they lose much of their appeal if you aren’t already an Apple device user. They’re […]

JLab’s latest true wireless earbuds are only $29

[ad_1] There is evidence of some cost-cutting. The five-hour battery life is fine, but won’t make you regret buying the nine-hour Powerbeats Pro. The 15 hours of extra charging from the battery case (20 total) isn’t spectacular, either. These figures are still solid for the price, mind you. It may just be a question of […]

Klipsch’s next true wireless earbuds will include AI and gesture controls

[ad_1] The Klipsch T10 True Wireless and T5 True Wireless ANC smart earphones both include AI, gesture controls and active noise cancellation. Though, the details about the AI are limited. All we know is that these have “a built-in operating system with embedded artificial intelligence.” The T10 are smaller than most true wireless earbuds, but […]

Oppo’s Reno 3 phones get 5G without sacrificing battery life

[ad_1] You can also expect some cutting-edge display tech. Both Reno 3 phones tout bright 800-nit screens with HDR10+ support and 180Hz touch rates. There’s Dolby Atmos stereo speakers to fill out the sound, too. And battery life might not be a problem — the two handsets have 4,025mAh batteries with 30W rapid charging that […]
