Product Review: Aukey T10 Earbuds
The Aukey T10 Earbuds are all about value for money. With an affordable pricing and premium features, these are some of the best budget wireless earbuds in the market right now. Read on for our detailed review.
Aukey is a tech accessory company known for its high quality chargers and power banks, and they’ve forayed into the audio market with their B80 Headphones and now, wireless earbuds. The Aukey T10 Earbuds are among the cheapest earbuds in the market right now, and come with a killer feature: Wireless charging. For a price-point so low, it’s a steal deal. Packaged in a case along with a promise of long battery life and good audio quality, the Aukey T10 Earbuds make for a solid choice.
Comfort and design
The grey colour tends to get a bit boring, and since it’s the only colour available you don’t have much of a choice. Each earbud is a chunky block that fits into your ear, and the Aukey logo on the side acts as a touchpad that you can use to control the volume, tracks, calls, etc. This feature makes you forget your disappointment with the colour options, so that’s a great start. The earbuds fit securely, even during runs and activities.
If in case the earbuds aren’t too snug for your ear, you can use the silicone tips and wings that come along in the case, to perfect the fit.
Audio
When properly sealed in, the earbuds block out a lot of outside noise. We took them out for a run and we are pleased to report that the earbuds did a great job of blocking out the sounds of the traffic all around. Since the earbuds come with IPX5 protection, they’re sweat-proof and can also withstand some amount of water. Great idea to take your earbuds with you on a run/while playing a sport, but not when it comes to swimming or water sports.
The bass isn’t too great, which might make the music feel too thin, but the sound isn’t too bad per say if you manage to find the right fit of the earbuds. If you tend to listen to music that’s not too heavy on bass — pop, rock or classical — you should be fine.
The call quality is excellent — thanks to the 2 microphone noise isolation.
Bluetooth
Since we’re almost always glued to our phones, the connectivity is brilliant. We did face some call drops when we moved to another room without the phone, but on the whole connectivity is solid enough.
Battery
The wireless charging is a great feature, something that we only saw on the high end earbuds. If you do want to use a wire, you have the option to use a USB-C.
The earbuds stay charged up to 7 hours, and you can expect a total of 24 hours of battery between the earbuds and the case.
