The main problem with TWS headphones is their short battery life. They constantly have to be put away in the case to recharge. This is especially inconvenient on long journeys, such as on a plane or train.
We have chosen models that can work for a very long time without recharging. Let’s clarify that we paid attention first of all to the working time without a case, and only then evaluated how many times the headphones can be charged in the case.
Best TWS Earbuds with Great Battery Life
Here are some of the earbuds from various manufacturers that usually indicate the autonomy of headphones at medium volume. If you listen to music at maximum, this operating time will be slightly lower.
1) Soundcore Space A40 – 10 Hours (50 Hours with Case)
Soundcore Space A40 is a model with a record operating time. Headphones will work up to 10 hours without recharging or 50 hours from the case. If you turn on active noise reduction, then 8 hours is also a great result. There is fast charging: 10 minutes is enough for 4 hours of work.
The model supports AAC and SBC codecs and can work in LDAC (Hi-Res Audio Wireless) mode. The headphones use dual-diaphragm speakers that provide powerful bass and clear mid-range and high frequencies.
We should also note ANC: the headphones automatically analyze external noises and adjust the required level of noise reduction. This is an in-canal headset that fits securely in the ears. The set includes five pairs of silicone ear tips so that each user can choose the appropriate size.
