[Fan Review]TWS Bluetooth Headset That Supports Smart Wear Detection - HONOR Earbuds 2 SE

The following review was posted by Gilliano, a fan on HONOR Community China, apparently, she got it from EA or it might be possible she purchased it. Let's get into the details:

"To be honest, I have used a lot of true wireless Bluetooth headsets so far, so ordinary Bluetooth headsets are basically not very attractive to me. And the appearance of HONOR Earbuds 2 SE still made me full of surprises. Let's take a look at its appearance first."

1. Appearance and details

The blue and white outer packaging design is very concise.

The Charging Compartment.

Headphones and Charging Kit

Function keys

At the bottom is the Type-C charging socket.

2. Highlights:

A. Powerful battery life and fast charging speed.

Because HONOR Earbuds 2 SE supports Huawei Smart Life APP, and the charging compartment and the respective power levels of the 2 earphones can be seen in the APP, the following screenshots about the power of the earbuds are of the APP. Before starting the test, the battery level of the headset (right ear) is 100%, and start timing

"Used medium volume to play music uninterruptedly until the power of the right ear is consumed to 1%, 8 hours, and 47 minutes during sharing. After several days of testing, I can charge the headset 5 times in total when the charging compartment is fully charged. Therefore, if you use a single ear each time and use it continuously for 24 hours, it will be the longest when it is fully charged. The battery life can last up to 61 hours, which is two and a half days. But the actual situation is that it is impossible for us to use it 24 hours a day. If you use it for 2 hours a day, you can use it for 4 weeks and 2 days with a single charge, which is about 1 month. So the endurance is quite strong. After the test, put the earphones back into the charging compartment, and record when the battery charge reaches 80%, as follows:"

From 20:29-20:43, the shared time is 14 minutes. So the charging speed is very fast. Really realized charging for 10 minutes and 5 hours of use.

B. Noise reduction and transparency can be switched at will

From the above and screenshots, you can also see that in the Smart Life APP, it is shown that the Honor Earbuds 2 SE supports 3 different noise reduction modes: ambient noise reduction is on, ambient sound is transparent, and off. There are two ways to switch: 1) Switch through the Smart Life APP; 2) Long press on the left/right ear. If the surrounding environment is noisy, for the purpose of experience and hearing protection, it is recommended to turn on noise reduction; when the ambient sound transmission is turned on, we can talk to others without barriers.

C. Smart wear detection

HONOR Earbuds 2 SE also features intelligent detection of wear, it will automatically play music when wearing state is detected, if the detected off the headset will automatically pause (nothing to do with mobile phone brand, which means that in addition to the glory of the phone, if you are other brands This function is also supported by mobile phone users using this headset). This thoughtful little feature allows us to no longer be in a hurry, and never miss the key content of the audio.

D. Sound quality experience

Because there is no professional testing tool, we can only listen to it by ear through a specific method. The conclusion is as follows (there is a certain subjective component, and even the same batch of different headphones will have differences, so everyone is for reference only) :

Sweep frequency test: qualified, no noise, and the sound change trend is very uniform;

Left and right ear sound pressure difference test: a bit to the right at 300Hz, that is, the sound of the right ear is slightly louder, and the other frequency bands are normally centered;

Sound field test: it feels like being in a small auditorium;

Voice image: very strong, not tight or loose;

Low-frequency dive: great;

High-frequency extension: good;

Analysis and separation: Well, the various musical instruments are not muddled together, but they are still clearly distinguishable;

Transient: The sound is crisp and clear, without procrastination, it can be more explosive when listening to dynamic music and electronic sounds;

Dynamic: The dynamic is good, can well reflect the momentum of the music, if you listen to the symphony, you can be immersed in it.

Whether it is listening to music or audiobooks, or watching videos, the immersion is particularly good. It feels like listening in a small theater.

Conclusion:

1. The appearance design of Honor Earbuds 2 SE is very simple, and it is very comfortable to wear;

2. Noise reduction/transparency can be switched at will, a pair of earphones can cope with different scenes in life;

3. Smart wear detection, automatic play/pause, makes life easier;

4. Excellent sound quality experience.
