Incredible Sound, Quietly
Adopting next-generation Bluetooth technology, the Air Pro 3 features LE Audio with the new audio codec LC3. This delivers an impressively-low power consumption, but with a significant improvement in sound quality over the common SBC codec during low-battery states. In fact, the bass response becomes guttural, powerful. The sound overall is simply superior. Paired with the QuietSmart 2.0 Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation system, the Air Pro 3 silences the outside world up to 43dB. In addition, the sound of wind shear is subdued with an Anti-Wind Noise algorithm that works every millisecond.

Global technology brand OnePlus is on a mission to provide high-quality audio through its flagship wireless earbuds, the OnePlus Buds Pro 2.

Creative Technology today launched Creative Sensemore Air, its latest high-performance true wireless earbuds which allow users to hear more of their surroundings than ever before, without compromising on audio quality. The new Sensemore technology helps to address the oft-annoying inconvenience associated with earbuds - because they are in-ear and block out much of the aural environment, users tend to remove their earbuds in various everyday situations, for example when starting a conversation. This changes with the Creative Sensemore Air, as users are given full control on the level of environmental sounds they want to hear. With Sensemore Mode, which is 5 times more sensitive than Ambient Mode, users can hear much more of speech, and other environmental elements, which are amplified with higher clarity. As a bonus, when set to a higher intensity, it could even benefit folks with mild hearing deficiencies.

The Ambient Mode can be used when users would like to hear their music well while still being aware of the environment, for example while jogging along a busy street. Conversely, to shut the world out so as to fully immerse in the music, users can rely on the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) Mode. The intensity of all 3 modes is fully adjustable through the handy Creative app.

1MORE, a globally distributed premium consumer audio company, announces an exciting new addition to its True Wireless earbuds range with the release of the 1MORE Aero. The Aero is one of only a select handful of earbuds offering a new listening experience with the inclusion of Spatial Audio; a dynamic head-tracking technology via a built-in gyroscope allowing the user to venture into immersion. Along with the ability to detect the listener's head movements in real time, the Aero comes complete with 1MORE's wide frequency QuietMax active noise-canceling (ANC) technology that provides up to 42dB of noise-canceling depth at a wider than normal range of frequencies from 40 Hz up to 4000 Hz, meaning the 1MORE Aero can block out more of the ambient noise whether it be the roar from the in-flight engines to the hustle & bustle of traditional city life. Furthermore, the Aero introduces the Smart Loudness Technology, which can provide a richer, more complete listening experience even at lower volumes with AI automatically compensating for many of the missing details both at high & low frequencies. The result is a punchier, much more resonant sound, for $109.99.

Featuring 10 mm drivers alongside diamond-like-carbon diaphragm for both an impactful bass and scintillating acoustic highs, the 1MORE Aero can also cater to all music genres thanks to 12 studio-grade EQ presets via the 1MORE MUSIC App. Like all of 1MORE's headphones, the Aero is already precisely tuned and balanced by Luca Bignardi - 1MORE's famed in-house 4-time Grammy award-winning sound engineer. The Aero offers 28-hours of playback and a 15-minute Quick Charge feature that allows the Aero to gain back 3-hours of playtime. The 1MORE Aero also features Qi technology for effortless wireless charging. The Aero also supports the latest Dual-Device connectivity, allowing for a simultaneous connection of two separate devices that the user can seamlessly switch between.

soundcore, Anker Innovations' premium audio brand, today announced the VR P10 Gaming Earbuds, the first audio product authorized for usage in Meta Quest 2. "We are excited that the VR P10 will be the first audio product to receive the 'Made For Meta' endorsement," said Steven Yang, founder and CEO of Anker Innovations. "Our new low-latency earbuds will be the perfect gaming accessory for Meta Quest 2 users."

The VR P10 were truly designed for video game fans. The VR P10 can pair to an included USB-C dongle that operates using a 2.4 GHz wireless connection with compatibility with the LC3 codec and when not in use, the wireless dongle can easily be stored inside the charging case. The USB-C dongle features soundcore's LightningSync wireless technology that provides a low-latency connection between the device and earbuds, reducing audio latency to 30 ms, perfect for avid gamers. Using the wireless dongle ensures that audio cues align with what's on a user's Meta Quest 2 VR headset. When playing first person shooter (FPS) games or reaction-type games, it is imperative that audio cues align with video as misaligned audio can be quite distracting to users.

Logitech G, a brand of Logitech and leading innovator of gaming technologies and gear, today announced the launch of the Logitech G FITS True Wireless Gaming Earbuds, which mold to any ear to create a custom fit using Logitech's patented Lightform technology. Powered by Lightspeed and Bluetooth wireless, Logitech G FITS enable gaming-grade audio performance on PC, Mac, Playstation, Nintendo Switch and mobile devices.

"This is the industry's first custom-fit earbud for gaming," said Ujesh Desai, vice president and general manager of Logitech Gaming. "Simply press a button, and our Lightform technology will give you a bud that molds perfectly in your ear. We combine this with our LIGHTSPEED wireless dongle to give you a wireless earbud with true gaming-grade performance."

Back in October 2020, Logitech launched the Ultimate Ears UE FITS earbuds, with its unique feature being custom moldable tips. This in itself wasn't something new, but the trick here was that it could be done at home, using built in LEDs in the earbuds that warmed out the gel-like material, something referred to as Lightform Technology. Now it looks like Logitech is about to launch an updated version of the FITS under its Logitech G gaming brand, based on a leak from 91mobiles. The overall design remains the same from what we can tell from the pictures, although we don't know if anything has changed on the inside.

What we do know is that the Logitech G FITS will come with a USB dongle, as well as what looks like a USB-A to USB-C adapter, so the G FITS can be used with both PCs and consoles, in addition to phones and tablets. The UE FITS have dropped significantly in price since launch, as they now retail for around US$179, versus US$249 at launch. We'd expect Logitech to charge slightly more for the G FITS, due to the inclusion of the USB dongle.

With up to double the noise-cancelling power of their predecessor, the world's bestselling wireless headphones just got even better."

oday, Jabra, leader in personal sound and office solutions, introduces the newest addition to its true wireless range, the Jabra Elite 5. The all-round hero is made for those needing to take calls anywhere and is perfect for enjoying media during leisure. These earbuds help people escape a busy day and immerse themselves into media or connect with friends and family on-the-go with the touch of a button.

The Jabra Elite 5 makes it possible for individuals to fully focus on the task at hand with new Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), powered by the Qualcomm QCC3050 Bluetooth chipset. The Hybrid ANC uses feedback microphones on the inside of the ear, and feedforward microphones on the outside. The ANC performance is therefore less sensitive to how you position the buds in the ear and it ensures a more reliable noise cancellation across a wider range of frequencies.
