Elevoc Clear, Incredible Mic Performance

The Elevoc Clear are a game changing pair of headphones because they can replace a few other items. In my experience with the Elevoc Clear I am able to replace a Bluetooth headset for online teaching, as microphone for vlogging, and a pair of active noise canceling headphones. Today I wanted to explore these 3 different attributes of the Elevoc Clear and ultimately why these are a definite buy for me. If you’re looking to pre-order the Elevoc Clear they currently have a IndieGoGo campaign. If you’re worry about supporting an unknown company, I did a little bit of dogging at the end of this article.

 

In 2021 we have meetings online, learning online, and videos conferencing online. Some headphones I have tested have been totally fine for video conferencing and some have been terrible. Specifically, the Elevoc Clear shine in their ability to provide a real-world replacement for my video conferencing headphones. As someone who teaches online, I am often needing to wear a full gaming headset with microphone in order to teach online. The Elevoc Clear have completely replaced them. The Elevoc Clear give me the ability to teach online in comfort since wearing a traditional headset squeezes my glasses. Along with this the Elevoc Clear have been a game changer because I can take calls on a busy street here in Vietnam. It’s often the case with cheap headphones that while they might sound ok, they don’t give me the same freedom as the Elevoc Clear. The Elevoc Clear let me listen to music and walk outside and not have to put the headphones back in their case when I get a phone call.

 

The value provided by the Elevoc Clear don’t stop at calls. As many people know I have recently switched from Xiaomi to Samsung for my daily driver. Samsung allows me to use Bluetooth wireless headphones as a microphone when recording video. This is absolutely a game changer. If I want to vlog or make a video outside, I can record video with just my Elevoc Clear headphones. I have minimal audio processing to do in Adobe Premiere

 

If these two aspects of the Elevoc Clear didn’t convince you the active noise canceling should. The ANC of the Elevoc Clear is as good as the voice denoising used to give you a fantastic microphone. The Elevoc Clear are a significant upgrade to other comparably priced active noise canceling headphone I have tried. Compared to the Pamu Quiet Mini they are better if even slightly and they are considerably better than the original Pamu Quiet with APT-X. The Elevoc Clear aren’t without fault though. Although the Elevoc Clear sound good they don’t have the same punch as the Pamu Quiet or the Pamu Quiet Mini.

 

 

Elevoc is software company that was founded in 2017. Elevoc has specifically worked with companies to improve the call quality in the automotive community for audio communication systems in cars, computers and cellphones. This is the main reason that their speech denoising software is so good.

Tronsmart Onyx Ace: The best Earbuds you Have Never Heard Of

With big name manufacturers putting no end to the release of expensive truly wireless earbuds, Xiaomi has gained attention for its Xiaomi Mi Air 2 SE - but unfortunately, while they were cheap, they were not great. Now, with the release of the Tronsmart Onyx Ace, we finally have hope that consumers can get a solid listening experience without breaking the bank.

You may have never heard of Tronsmart, but upon first impressions with the Onyx Ace, you may feel like they’ve been in this game for a while. With a glossy finish, and a compact form factor, the Onyx Ace not only feels more premium than the Xiaomi Mi Air 2 SE, but more substantial. Coming from an entirely plastic-made build, this is a very welcomed change that may make customers feel as if they have gotten their money’s worth.

But the premium design isn’t limited to the earbuds themselves, as the same rules apply to the case that will be keeping your earbuds powered and secured on the go. Not only does the Tronsmart deliver in the looks, even offering extremely affordable cases that give the product an extra bit of flair, but minor touches such as ta battery charge indicator goes a long way too.

Besides looking better, the Tronsmart Onyx Ace also delivers in the sound department. Upon letting our self-proclaimed audiophile friend test both, he surmised his experience the Xiaomi Mi Air 2 SE as “Something I’d thank you for giving me, but then instantly put in the sock drawer,” but the “lifelessness” he identified with the Air 2 SE is not a problem for the Tronsmart Onyx Ace. Delivering “Rich” and “distinct” sound, users can expect to fully enjoy their songs with less obvious compromises.

Yet even as the Xiaomi Mi Air 2 SE may seem clearly defeated, the Tronsmart Onyx Ace come for the last punch in the functionality department. With a full range of controls from playback, volume and voice assistant without the need of any apps, the Tronsmart Onyx Ace is perfect for just about anyone right out of the box. The same cannot be said with the Xiaomi Mi Air 2 SE, which promises customisation through an app that to this day still does not exist.

With the release of the Xiaomi Mi Air 2 SE, our hopes of having a cheap, equally capable pair of truly wireless earbuds as those made by bigger brands was nearly dead, but the Tronsmart Onyx Ace not only refills these hopes - it sets a new standard on how budget truly wireless earbuds should be.

Why YOU Shouldn't Buy Truly Wireless Earbuds Right Now

You shouldn’t buy truly wireless headphones right now. As much as that statement hurts coming from a truly wireless headphone fanatic, recent development in this industry have unfortunately led this to be the case.

Released a few months ago, the Qualcom 3020 chip set aimed to bring a slew of features that significantly improves the usability of truly wireless headphones:

A much improved mono mode, allowing both sets of truly wireless earbuds to connect individually;

Improved call noise reduction, allowing for your truly wireless calls to be more practical and lastly;

Improved latency, making sure that smartphone gamers or heavy media viewers can use their truly wireless earbuds without missing in on the action!

If this list doesn’t sound especially useful or worth waiting, then go on and purchase a pair of truly wireless earbuds - you can find lots of older pairs on the cheap! But if you’re like us, and could see these set of features impacting the usability of your truly wireless earbuds, then we have some unfortunate news for you: Only a very select few truly wireless earbud producers have brought this latest technology to market, one of our favourite implementations yet being the Haylou GT1 Plus.

What this means for you, the consumer, is that unless you’re informed in what pairs of truly wireless earbuds contain this new technology, buying a pair of truly wireless earbuds right at this moment may include outdated technology that will not give you the best experience possible - simply wait a few months and soon enough, like truly wireless earbuds themselves, this once limited technology will be available at the hands of many for a very fair price!
