UiiSii BN80 First Impressions: Price King

/

With many “truly wireless earbuds” releasing in the past few months, we still maintain the opinion that neckband style Bluetooth earbuds are better - but as companies dropped their focus on this sort of headphone, they’ve become less and less common. Thankfully, the UiiSii BN80s not only revive a style of product we love, but also create a product that for its price is simply unmatched.

Featuring dual drivers, sound is the BN80’s top priority: being fantastic for all sorts of songs that you may listen to in your day to day life. This technology, which brings great change to audio fidelity, simply cannot be found in similarly priced pairs of truly wireless earbuds - as those generally focus their resources in other features such as their charging case.

Another great standout feature of this headphone is its 15 hour battery life - the equivalent of many truly wireless earbuds once you have completely drained their charging case. This means being able to go for a long trip without the need of bringing the charging cable along, or taking breaks from your listening experience because your earbuds “just need a quick top up”.

Furthermore, these headphones are the prime representation of what makes neckband headphones our favourite style of Bluetooth headphones: magnets. By making sure that the earbuds connect to one another, this pair of headphones is low-profile, comfortable to wear, and won’t be so easily lost as is the case with truly wireless earbuds.

As for latency, whilst we haven’t used these headphones sufficiently at the time of this writing to fully test out its latency, our first impression watching video content has been more than positive - allowing for media consumption that is fully in sync with your phone despite the Bluetooth connection.

Lastly, and just as important, for only 50 dollars, these earbuds come with a great variety of ear tips in the box - ensuring a great deal of customisability that ultimately ensures that your purchase will serve you no matter how your ears may be shaped.
