Is the Xiaomi Mi Air 2S TSW Is Worth YOUR Attention?

The Xiaomi Mi Dots weren’t necessarily the best TSW earbuds ever released - leaving us wondering if the Chinese company Xiaomi had peaked after a record-breaking amount of world changing releases. Announced yesterday, the Xiaomi Mi Air 2S TSW could be the company’s return to glory - but will it improve a lot over the already existing Xiaomi Mi Air 2?

Being released at roughly $56, the Xiaomi Mi Air 2S TSW features a lot of spark for your cash. Firstly, Xiaomi revealed that the Xiaomi Mi Air 2S TSW comes with an upgraded dual-core chipset, featuring a new binaural syncrhonous transmission technology - To put it in everyday terms, the Xiaomi Mi Air 2S TSW will better the earbuds’ abilities to synchronize both earbuds during listening, meaning that the Xiaomi Mi Air 2S TSW could potentially feature really impressive latency results.

To further its low latency focus, Xiaomi has included LHDC Bluetooth decoding, Bluetooth 5.0 and a low-latency mode that automatically turns on during use. With both the hardware and software focused on providing a low-latency experience, the Xiaomi Mi Air 2S TSW may be truly remarkable for gamers and content-viewers alike.

In sweetening the deal, the Xiaomi Mi Air 2S TSW also includes support for Xiaomi’s XiaoAI assistent, and a dual-microphone array, ensuring that phone calls and speech recognition will be superb in Xiaomi’s new wireless earbud. Furthermore, the earbuds will feature a 5 hour charge, with up to 24 hours when its new wireless-charging is used to charge it.

But to answer the question raised in the first paragraph, we don’t believe that these differences will be significant enough to sway those who already own the Mi Air 2 to upgrade. Not only does the Mi Air 2 already include the same LHDC decoding, but it can now be found for cheaper, making it the better deal than ever. Perhaps the inclusion of noise cancellation or the Qualcomm 3020 chip could have made the Xiaomi Mi Air 2S TSW a better deal. Nevertheless, the improvements to low-latency await to be seen, and could change this opinion when the earbuds officially launch.

The Xiaomi Mi Air 2S TSW will have a China-exclusive release on April 9, with plans for a release in other countries not in sight.

Haylou GT1 Plus VS Haylou GT2: Differences that Matter

With so many truly-wireless earbuds now entering the budget sphere, it is becoming increasingly hard to decide which is worth of our money. In our channel, we are strong advocates of the Haylou line of products, as we believe they offer a strong midpoint between value and audio performance. To no surprise however, Haylou has now also fallen victim to the multiple-model issue, which brings us to a core question: Which is worth your cash, the Haylou GT1 Plus, or the Haylou GT2?

Firstly, let’s quickly mention a very important similarity: both of these earbuds sound great, in fact, they are essentially identical. This is important to note, as it means that the differences to which we will discuss will simply come down to preference - meaning that Haylou has essentially created two similar products for two different sorts of consumers.

The out and about customers, are who we believe will much prefer the Haylou GT1 Plus. Featuring a more compact case that packs more juice than its counterpart, as well as a generally lower price in online markets, the Haylou GT1 Plus simply fits into your pocket and becomes one with your outdoors gear.

Meanwhile, those who prefer features over convenience will find the Haylou GT2s a great set of truly wireless earbuds. This mainly comes down to the product’s main selling feature: its charging cable included with the case. By simply lowering a flap, you have essentially reduced the need to bring around one extra cable with you. This comes at the cost of a larger, and less-battery packed case, but we find that to some the added benefit of having an all in one package may be worth it.

Furthermore, those who like physical controls will find no luck with the Haylou GT1 Plus, again going to testify how the Haylou GT2, whilst a larger earbud to bring around, makes up for the inconvenience by packing everything you could ever need from truly-wireless earbuds in one.

To conclude, for those looking for better battery, and a better price of entry, the Haylou GT1 Plus is the obvious winner. But for those looking for out of the box convenience, the better charging case and physical buttons bundled with the Haylou GT2 could very well be a selling point. For our money, go with the GT1 Plus, but everyone’s needs vary, and what is truly important is that no matter your personal pick, you will have a great listening experience.

Awei T10C Review: Awesomely Cheap, Undeniably Great

With so many bad examples of cheap truly-wireless earbuds throughout the past year, we are not afraid to admit that upon receiving the Awei T10Cs, we had low standards in mind. After putting them through strenuous use however, we are happy to report that for less than $30, we may have just found the best truly wireless earbuds around.

Initial Impression

Upon initial unboxing, nothing about the Awei T10Cs felt truly special. From its plastic build to the overused AirPods-esque design, these headphones don’t bring anything new to the table. To redeem itself however, you quickly notice upon unboxing that with this product, features come before looks.

With features such as having Qi wireless charging to multiple interchangeable earbud tips, the Awei T10Cs bring more to the table than any other competitor at its price - setting forth a prime example of a moment when one should really not judge a book by its cover.

Experience

Cheap construction aside, the Awei T10Cs are extremely comfortable, allowing for more than an hour and a half of usage before we felt any sort of discomfort. Furthermore, the sleek battery case - which rapidly recharges the earbuds once its 2.5-3 hours of playtime are done - meant that the entire package was as minimal as it should be, making usage outdoors painless.

The controls make this truly wireless earbud a solid contestant. Being able to control your tracks, pause them and adjust the volume without ever having to take your phone is truly what these products are meant for, and at just $30, the Awei T10Cs get this just right.

Sound is entirely subjective, but in our experience, the Awei T10Cs sound best when put against modern pop songs. Not only is the bass really good here, but the lack of detail makes it pretty challenging to enjoy older sounds that require a lot of detail at a certain pitch.

Unfortunately, if there is one area where the T10Cs simply collapse it would have to be its microphone. To conserve costs, Awei used a very cheap non-multidirectional microphone, making taking calls and recording video outdoors a really hard task.

Conclusion

With rather flimsy designs and unimpressive features, It is often hard to recommend truly-wireless earbuds under the $30 price-point. The Awei T10Cs however, while not necessarily spectacular, achieve a certain level of quality where we can be certain that the average media consumer will be more than satisfied.
