Product Information

Having extensive experience with in-ear monitors and having a favorable disposition towards balanced armature drivers, I was pretty keen to see how warm or how sharp, how deep, and how high these things went. This is a sponsored article and was made possible by Donner. The actual contents and opinions are the sole views of the author who maintains editorial independence even when a post is sponsored. Overview of Features The mids are separated really nicely from the rest of the soundstage almost to the point where the bass, and then the mid-bass, and then the mids where the vocals are sitting, and all of the keys and guitar work is happening. Reject an incoming call: Press and hold the multifunction touch button on any of the earbuds for about 1.5 seconds.

Find out what we listen for during our testing process and how to get the best headphone sound for you. Play the next song: Press and hold the multifunction touch button on the right earbud for about 1.5 seconds. If I can get enough people to try the Donner Dobuds ONE, I think that they could be quite an industry standard setter with the balanced armature driver and dynamic driver built-in in the budget TWS earbud range.I am really not sure if any of these earbuds are genuine "noise canceling" as the pairs I do have (I have a few) all claim to be, but really it's more; muffles some and amplifies others (my kid's voices seem to be amplified, but I will admit does certainly take the edge off). Spatial Sound is the company’s 3D audio format powered by Dolby Atmos. And while some songs sounded immersive, others sounded dull and tinny. Battery life is pretty standard compared to most rival noise-canceling earbuds and call quality wasn't among the best we've heard from the brand. Even so, the Elite 10 stand out and are one of the best Apple AirPods alternatives you can buy. Next is the waterproofing, I cannot speak to the pods ability to be submerged, but I did try them in the shower. If this happens, it may be because it is low on batteryor it did not connect correctlywith the device. To fix this, you can do the following: Upgraded with military-standard materials for unbreakable protection, and some of the longest battery life available, the Elite 8 Active are easily among one of the most worthwhile options for best Apple AirPods alternatives. The Elite 8 Active serve exceptionally well for fitness and casual listening, and Jabra’s warm sound signature will jumpstart workouts the moment you press play. Powerful, bass-heavy sonics came out of the Elite 8 Active’s 6mm dynamic drivers. Lows dominate the frequency curve, but there were still some nice sounding mids and highs to digest.

The sub-bass has strong rumble and impact, but can break apart if the volume is pushed too high. In moderate to slightly high listening levels (80-84dB) the bass sounds good. Any highter than that and you are getting into distortion territory. Female vocals fare better, but can show instances of sibilance due to the uncontrolled peak around 8kHz. Pushing the earbuds deep into the ears can somehow reduce the treble peak, but it never goes away and can cause fatigue over time. Treble is the weakest part of the Dobuds One, and that becomes apparent as you notice the splashiness in cymal hits and hi-hats.The closest affordable unit that I had reviewed, which I really enjoyed doing was the UGREEN HiTune X6 earbuds which I thought for the price were really quite impressive.
