A month ago, my friend asked me: What wireless Bluetooth headset is better to buy?
At the time, I almost did not hesitate to say AirPods. But today, if someone asks me this question again, I may have to hesitate for a while. Because just a while ago, I experienced a wireless Bluetooth headset, the Earin M-2, which is comparable to AirPods in terms of Bluetooth stability and Bluetooth connection distance. Even in terms of sound quality, it is even worse than AirPods. .
This has also made AirPods a stable position in my heart, and it has been shaken. Probably the "world's smallest wireless Bluetooth headset." What exactly is it that can be compared to Apple's AirPods in terms of experience? Earin, a Swedish technology company that many people have never heard of. Clicking on its official website, whether it is a crowdfunding-like product page or a "slightly exaggerated" product description, I believe that many people's first impression of Earin may be a "pheasant" playing on the crowdfunding website. project.
But in fact, Earin's coming is not small. As early as 2013, a group of engineers from Sony Ericsson and Nokia founded the Bluetooth headset brand Earin, launching the first "true wireless" Bluetooth headset Earin, and earned it the "world's smallest wireless Bluetooth headset." Then in early 18th, the company was acquired by i.am+, a technology company owned by Will.i.am, the lead singer of The Black Eyed Peas.
Today, when it comes to the second generation, the Earin M-2 continues the advantages of the previous generation, which is small and brings a better experience.
Let me talk about the weight. Compared to the weight of 4g of AirPods per headset, the Earin M-2 weighs only 3.6g per headset. Secondly, the Earin M-2 does not have an Airpods-like "ear handle". It has almost no exposed parts on the ear. Its measurements are 14.5mm x 21mm x 17.2mm.
This specification is almost the lightest and smallest in the market. How small is it? So tell you that when you take it out of the storage box by hand, it is difficult to hold it steady.
Because of this lightweight design, the Earin M-2 has a near-innocent experience when worn. Unlike the fully wireless Bluetooth headsets such as the Sony WF-1000X "Noise Bean" and BOSE SoundSport Free, the Earin M-2 does not rely on the ear, the tragus, etc. to fix the headphones, but only the ear glue. Plug the headphones.
Therefore, the Earin M-2 does not have a clear perception when worn, and because it is an in-ear earphone, it is excellent in terms of non-inductive wear, but it is not enough compared to the open AirPods.
It's also interesting to note that the Earin M-2 does not distinguish between the left and right ears. That is to say, when you "pick up" one of the earphones and put it on either side of the ear, it can be used normally. At the same time, it also has a single ear mode for users to use.
Comparable to AirPods, why?
For many people, the reason for choosing AirPods is that in addition to being comfortable to wear and easy to pair, it should also have excellent Bluetooth stability and reliable connection performance over long distances.
Whether it's the cheap TicPods Free, or the Sony WF-1000X "Noise Reduction Bean", which sells for the same price as AirPods, I haven't had a product that can really reach AirPods like I have tried so many AirPods. That stable connection performance.
However, the emergence of Earin M-2 broke this "stale." In the experience of about a week or so, the Earin M-2 has almost no sound when it is broken or played music. This is almost the best performance of the AirPods I have tested. AirPods is courting.
Moreover, there are few earphones on the left and the right, and there is no sound on one side, unless there is no sound... unless you take one of the earphones and take it. In this case, the picked headphones will remain silent.
The inquiry was that this was not a problem with the Bluetooth connection of the headset, but because the working mechanism of the Earin M-2 was a bit special. When the headset is removed from the storage compartment, the Earin M-2 headset automatically detects the distance between each other and automatically connects, but when the distance between the two is far apart, the headset worn on the ear is automatically activated. Single ear mode works.
Once switched to the single-ear mode, the Earin M-2 can only be removed by placing the two headphones in the bin and re-removing them.
To this end, Earin M-2 also provides a feature to make up for this special working mechanism - ambient sound collection. With this feature, you can hear the sound of the surroundings without removing the headphones, and the sensitivity of this acquisition can be adjusted in the Earin M-2 app.
In addition to its impressive Bluetooth stability, the Earin M-2 also has Bluetooth connectivity over longer distances.
In fact, the standards of Bluetooth 4.0 and above have theoretically supported Bluetooth connection distances of around 10m. However, due to the small size of the fully wireless headset, many products can not maintain stable connectivity at a long distance. The Earin M-2 did it.
Thanks to the dual antenna design and NXP's NFMIMiGLO technology, the Earin M-2 performed satisfactorily in this regard. In the actual experience, the Earin M-2 still maintains stable audio playback with a cement wall and a distance of up to 12 meters from the device.
This is quite the same as the Beats Studio 3 we tested with the W1 chip.
Better listening than AirPods Like most Bluetooth headsets, the Earin M-2 also supports aptX. Therefore, when you listen to the Earin M-2, you will obviously feel some details of the sound, especially when playing the black eyed bean song "Rockin To The Beat", facing the rapid changes of the electronic dance music rhythm, Earin M-2 is still able to restore the sound of every detail in an orderly manner.
The performance of the low frequency is also quite eye-catching. For example, in the song "Love You Long Time", the low frequency has a certain layering and thickness, and can be clearly expressed, thick and not turbid. In terms of low frequency, the Earin M-2 can be used as a catcher. It is very suitable for listening to European and American pop songs.
The processing in the middle and high frequency is also delicate enough, and the details and resolution are acceptable. Although the Earin M-2 has a clear perception of the "quantity" of sound in the movement of the Knowles moving iron unit and aptX, sometimes it is sometimes in the face of some vocal details. There will be a situation of "should be overwhelmed."
This sense of hearing basically allows you to distinguish relatively flat AirPods.
In addition, the sound field performance of the Earin M-2 is also good, it sounds like a band around you to sing Live.
Summary If you want me to describe the Earin M-2, I think it is a strong opponent of AirPods at this stage.
As a fully wireless Bluetooth headset, the Earin M-2 is comparable to AirPods Bluetooth stability and Bluetooth connectivity, and its better listening experience than AirPods, refreshing my wireless Bluetooth headsets other than AirPods. impression.
It is true that the Earin M-2 poses a certain threat to AirPods's solid position, but given its $99 price and the ease of connectivity of Apple's ecosystem, Earin M-2 is in the midst of competing with AirPods. A relatively inferior position.
If the Earin M-2 can further make the sensitive element of price more intimate, then this kind of AirPods competing product with excellent experience and good sound quality is worthy of consumers' try.
