What is True Wireless Stereo?

Reduced damage

Wireless earbuds eliminate the risk of wires getting caught or frayed. They have also allowed device makers to remove the ¼ inch audio jacks previously found on laptops, smartphones, and other portable electronic devices.

Freedom to roam

The invention of wireless headphones and earbuds has enabled users to be able to step away from their devices while maintaining connectivity. For example, you can charge your phone in the kitchen while listening to your favorite songs as you do chores around the house or take an important call outside without bringing your smartphone.

Shared experience

The days of leaning in close to your friend to hear the new hit song are over. Wireless earbuds create the independence to share music at the social distance you both agree upon.

Battery life

Great battery life is important, and high-quality wireless earbuds and headphones maximize the usage per charge. However, wired headsets have no downtime when functioning correctly so shorter battery life is a drawback to TWS accessories.

Potential loss

Wireless earbuds are small and can be lost more easily than their wired counterparts, especially if used during exercise or recreational activities. While wireless earbuds can be lost more easily than wired accessories, improved fit for in-ear models and design innovations like open-ear earbuds have improved this drawback.

Comfort

There are a few things to look for when purchasing devices with True Wireless Stereo technology, such as comfort. If you’re going to be using the product daily, you should make sure that they feel comfortable in or around your ears.

Active Noise Cancellation

Another important feature is the inclusion of Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology. ANC works to remove external noises that might interrupt a call.

Design

Personal preference also plays an important role when shopping for earbuds or headphones with TWS. For example, our Ultra Open Earbuds offer the same superior sound quality as our QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, but they feature an open-ear design that allows you to hear the world and your music simultaneously while the latter cancels out the sound around you. Both are great options for a top-of-the-line wireless audio experience.
