AUKEY True Wireless Earbuds, unbeatable value for money

Last updated on December 8th, 2022 at 02:11 pm

While the big mobile brands like Samsung or Google strive to accompany the launch of their high-end with wireless headphones with three-figure prices, we forget that a large part of consumers has not yet entered wireless audio or simply You need models that are both affordable and functional.

The three pillars of the AUKEY True Wireless Earbuds: excellent value for money, ergonomics and autonomy

We are talking about a type of public that is looking for wireless headphones without complications and in accordance with a practical mindset that rewards the value for money above all else. And it is right here where the AUKEY True Wireless Earbuds fit, wireless headphones that, without being especially novel, are being a phenomenon in sales, with more than 5,000 reviews on Amazon and a note that is close to 5 stars. Let’s see why!

AUKEY True Wireless Earbuds, features and technical specifications

Comfortable and highly practical design

The AUKEY True Wireless Earbuds come in an austere brown cardboard box not too big, inside it, in addition to the classic guarantee, safety and instructions for use leaflets, the headphones, the charger box, a charging cable and two are accommodated. additional sets of pads.

The charging case is not too big, having a compact size that fits in the palm of your hand. In addition, even with the headphones inside the set considerably lighter than the competition. The headphones, with an approximate weight of 9 grams, are not heavy and, due to their design, they handle comfortably, both when placing them in the ear as well as when removing them or putting them inside the magnetized box.

To give you an idea, the size and shape of the headphones are very similar to that of classic AirPods, with the difference that the fit in the ear canal is much more precise thanks to the fact that they have adjustable rubber ear pads. Thanks to the days I have spent with them I can say that they are especially comfortable to wear, holding much better than my usual Redmi AirDots, a great blessing when, for example, going out to run with them on the ear. In this sense, it is worth knowing that these AUKEY headphones are also resistant to sweat and splashes.

For the rest, both the AUKEY True Wireless Earbuds and its charging case are made of black plastic with a matte finish that gives them a very discreet look. Also, thanks to its shape, AUKEY has been able to place the microphones at the bottom of the headphones, so your voice will sound much better during calls and audios.

How about your battery?

Without a doubt, another of the strengths of the AUKEY True Wireless Earbuds. For starters, the full charge of the case takes just two hours. You can use your usual mobile charger with the micro USB cable that incorporates AUKEY, or if not, as I have done, charge them in any USB port on your computer while you work.

In any case, in just 2 hours both headphones and case are charged and ready to use for up to 25 hours of playback. If you prefer to leave the case at home, you should know that the headphones’ 40 mAh batteries will provide you with up to 5 hours of playback without charging. In my case, in the week I have been with them and with normal use (between 1 and 2 hours a day) I still have not loaded the case a second time.

Details for an unusual value for money

Undoubtedly in this section, we have to comment on the quality of its sound, which is singularly good. We have a faithful sound, without distortion and that captures all the nuances of the music, a set of the solid sea that is difficult to find for this price. However, for me, the strong point of the sound section would be in the microphones of the AUKEY True Wireless Earbuds. If you are one of those people who talk a lot on the phone, these headphones are for you. In my case, I have noticed (or rather my contacts) a significant advance in how my voice sounds during calls or audios compared to other similar headphone models.

AUKEY Wireless Earbuds

In addition to the sound section, the AUKEY True Wireless Earbuds incorporate many other valuable extras that, honestly, are out of their price range. For starters, while the first pairing of many Bluetooth headphones is usually a real headache, in the case of the AUKEY True Wireless Earbuds it is a matter of seconds. Along these lines, its synchronization with the device is excellent. So that we understand each other, if for example you are listening to music and you take them off, once you save them in the box the playback stops. In the same way, if you play music on your terminal and take the headphones out of the box, the audio goes to the headphones immediately. It seems silly, but believe me that in such cheap devices it is difficult to find synergies of this type, and most importantly, that they are so fluid.

Finally, and in addition to its compatibility with Google Assistant or Siri or its resistance to sweat and splashes, we must highlight yes or yes its touch controls. In my experience with headphones, these have been a plus the practical sea: just touch the top of any of the two headphones to activate the virtual assistant of your smartphone (three touches), change tracks (press and hold the second touch), or answer calls or pause music (one-touch). In the end, they are touch gestures that save you the annoying discomfort of pressing a button directly against the ear canal.

The weak points of the AUKEY True Wireless Earbuds

Despite the fact that these headphones exceed in many respects their direct competition, it cannot be said that they are perfect, having to comment on a couple of questions that, although they are not too important, should be taken into account.

On the one hand, it should be noted that the AUKEY True Wireless Earbuds are charged through a micro USB connection, a shame since it would be very comfortable to charge them with the same cable that we use in our smartphone (as you know, the vast majority of new devices in 2019 and 2020 are already equipped with USB-C ). Of course, you have to break a lance in favour of AUKEY since right now it is practically impossible to find wireless headphones that, for that price, are loaded with USB-C, being a feature that is reserved for high-end wireless headphones such as OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2 or Samsung Galaxy Buds +. Simply, if your mobile has USB-C, you will have to have on hand the small micro-USB cable that comes included with the AUKEY True Wireless Earbuds.

On the other hand, although the design is one of its strengths, especially due to the ergonomics it provides and the touch controls, we miss one more point of originality in its forms, somehow very similar to those of AirPods and with plastic ends that can be somewhat rough. In any case, in my personal opinion, it continues to outstrip that of its most direct rivals, with AUKEY being more discreet than other supermarkets such as the Redmi AirDots.

Without being perfect, the AUKEY True Wireless Earbuds are probably the best option for those who want to enter the world of wireless headphones paying a fair price and in return achieving an outstanding balance in all its main functions: autonomy, sound quality and comfort.

With a price of around 20 euros and a score of 4.7 on Amazon after more than 5,000 evaluations, we can say without fear of being wrong that the AUKEY True Wireless Earbuds are a highly recommended purchase, especially if you have not yet tried the audio wirelessly.
