Wyze is known for its affordable products. With security cameras that cost as low as US$ 19.99 and a smartwatch that also goes for the same price, it is bound to be pretty popular. Now, it has announced a new pair of TWS earbuds called the Wyze Buds Pro that offers features found in more expensive earbuds for half of the price.
The Wyze Buds Pro has an in-ear design
with silicone tips. There are three voice-isolating microphones in each bud
that help to reduce the noise by as much as 40dB while reducing wind noise by
10dB. The earbuds also have a transparency mode that allows you to hear the
sounds around you. This is useful when having conversations with people, at the
airport, or when walking outdoors.
Each earbud has a 10mm dynamic driver and
has an IPX4 rating for protection against sweat and rain. The earbuds have
Alexa built-in but also supports Siri, Bixby, and Google Assistant. They will
automatically pause playback when you remove them from your ears and resume
when you put them back in. Like a lot of earbuds, it supports custom touch
controls for playback and toggling ANC on and off.
The Wyze Buds Pro supports charging via
USB-C or via a Qi-certified wireless charger. A full charge via wired charging
takes 1.5 hours (3 hours for the case) and it also supports fast charging
(15-minute charge provides 1 hour of listening time). The spec sheet says that
the earbuds have a battery life of up to 4.5 hours with ANC on and 6 hours with
ANC off. It goes up to 13.5 hours and 18 hours respectively with the case.
The pair of earbuds has a price tag of US$ 59.99, comes in black, and is available for pre-order on the Wyze website.
Wyze has also promised that there will be a standard version called the Wyze
Buds that doesn’t have ANC but brings 6 hours of additional battery life.
