Honor is making noise again, this time in the wireless audio space with the launch of their EarBuds X9. If you're on the lookout for true wireless earbuds that promise all the right essentials with a price tag that won't break the bank, these might just be for you. They're right in that sweet spot in the mid-range market, and they've got some pretty impressive tricks up their sleeves.
So what is the buzz about. Well, Honor is pointing out that they are really serious about sound. They even carry what they call "Golden Ear" certification for sound prowess. It's worth mentioning that the earphones do come with some stellar 12.4mm drivers that should give them a nice, strong sound.
But the feature that really makes the cut in this clamorous world is Active Noise Cancelling. The EarBuds X9 has ANC, which supposedly gets rid of extraneous noise of more than 49 dB, is a big deal for your daily commute, busy office, or at times when you just want isolation from the world and enjoy your music.
That's not all. The EarBuds X9 also come with fixed spatial sound. This does not track your head movements but is made to give you a more immersive, three-dimensional experience. What there is for enthusiasts who like to adjust their sound; several equalizer presets are available.
Battery life is usually a significant factor in wireless earbuds; it seems to have got right with Honor. The earbuds yield playback without ANC for about 9 hours. Once you put them back into their charging case, it gives you up to 45 hours of total playback. That's quite considerable.
And what if you're in a hurry. The EarBuds X9 have rapid charging capabilities. Ten minutes in the case can give you enough power for three hours of music. Perfect for those last-minute dash out the door.
The Honor EarBuds X9 have been launched primarily in China and are very competitively priced at around $41. Therefore, it's a budget-friendly option for anyone seeking an experience that will be TWS in every sense of the word but not with a premium price tag.
