True Wireless Earbuds, at one time available only from a few high end and high priced California Kickstarter companies, now seem to be available everywhere from as little as £20.
I use Jabra Elite Sports as my main TW earbud set but I am on the lookout for a decent quality budget alternative and have tried quite a few contenders.
This new headset from TRANYA arrived in a small but stylishly designed product box. Inside were the earpieces themselves, charging case, a short USB to micro-USB charging cable, two sets of buds (one set of each prefitted), and a User Guide. The User Guide is well written and nicely illustrated although a bit small. I enclose a copy of the User Guide on my unboxing video.
The headset comes with a charging case similar to that with the high-end Jabra’s but lighter weight and with a clear lid. The case has an 500mAh internal battery which is itself charged using the supplied USB cable and it is the case battery which charges the earbud batteries. The case will be able to fully charge the earbuds about three times with each charge taking about one hour. It takes about two hours to charge the case itself. There are a set of LED’s on the case and LED’s on each bud to show battery status.
Pairing the earbuds was easy enough although more of a performance than with Jabra’s.
1 Remove both earbuds from the charging case and press the button on each bud until the blue LED flashes. The earpieces will automatically connect together.
2. Now the master earpiece (Left) will have blue/white flashing LEDs and be in Bluetooth pairing mode.
3. On your phone in the Bluetooth, setup panel look for the device T1 and pair to it in the usual way.
After this setup, the earbuds should automatically connect together and to your phone when taken from the charging case with no need to touch any buttons. They will disconnect and start charging automatically when returned to the case. My Jabra set has this feature and it makes the earbuds simple and intuitive to ..
