Now let’s start with the design part. The charging case is compact and lightweight. So, it is easy to carry around. The case features the Noise logo on top, an LED indicator on the front, and a Type-C charging port at the back. It feels solid and has a durable hinge. I also accidentally dropped it a few times and it survived.
Earbuds feature a dual-tone design that combines a matte finish with chrome accents. So, it provides a stylish and modern look. The earbuds are ergonomically designed to fit snugly in your ears. You also get two extra pair of ear tips to find your perfect fit. It also has tiny LED light. Buds support touch gestures to control music playback, sound, tracks calls, and more. Touch gestures a bit different than usually we get in most earbuds. SO, you need to refer to the manual for learning all touch gestures. Touch gestures are reliable and work well.
The IPX5 water resistance rating makes buds suitable for various activities, including workouts and outdoor use.
Buds pack 10mm drivers an provide a good music playback with decent bass, clear mids, and crisp highs. While they may not match the audio quality of premium offerings, they certainly punch above their weight for the price. Buds create an immersive listening experience making them suitable for various genres of music, from energetic pop to soothing classical.
The passive noise isolation is decent and it blocks out ambient noise to a reasonable extent. However, it may not be the best choice for noisy environments due to lack of Active Noise Cancellation.
The quad-mic setup with ENC effectively reduces background noise to ensure clear and intelligible voice calls, even in noisy conditions.
Long press on the right earbud enables the game mode. It claims 40ms low latency in the game mode. I tried playing a few games and it seems OK.
Buds Connect 2 features Bluetooth 5.3 to offer quick pairing and stable connection. It also supports Dual device pairing. You can keep it connected with two devices at the same time and use it accordingly.
Another notable feature is the in-ear detection. As soon as you take earbuds out of your ears, it will stop music playback and resume when you put earbuds back into the ears. But you need to enable it manually by tapping 5 times on the left earbud. It will provide a sound feedback to notify you that the feature has been enabled or disabled. You can enable or disable it whenever you want.
Battery life is another plus. Buds Connect 2 provides around 40 hours of total music playback that is really good. It takes around 60 minutes to charge the earbuds within the case and around 90 minutes to charge the charging case. You also get fast charging support. Just 10 minutes in the case can offer you more than 90 minutes of music playback.
Conclusion
The Noise Buds Connect 2 are a great choice for people looking for a budget-friendly pair of earbuds with a decent sound profile, long battery life, and useful features. Dual device pairing and in-ear detection are two notable features that most affordable TWS miss out. Noise Buds Connect 2 offers an excellent value for money. If you’re looking for a reliable pair of earbuds for everyday use, you can consider it.
