Truefree B1 Review - A Bearded Review A no-nonsense review of the Truefree B1 on-ear headphone First Impression The look of these on-ear earphones is... Interesting. They aren't like your regular IEM (in-ear) or headphones (over-ear). These have speakers that point toward your hear canal but sit on your earlobe. There is absolutely no audio isolation with these. If the volume is high enough, others can hear your audio, albeit, it would not be distinguishable by others, but still, they can hear it. Obviously, if you reduce the volume, you'll still hear the audio without others eavesdropping or being annoyed. Feel I personally like how these feel on the ear. Headphones can feel heavy over time. Earbuds can be a pain in the ear. These just hang like clip-on earrings without the pinch. They have metallic shine on the speaker and touch ends with soft silicone connecting them. I don't see any reason why you couldn't wear these for hours, unless you just don't like the feel. A bonus if you wear glasses or hats, these do not interfere with either. Audio Audio Codec-wise, they only connect with SBC (non-HD) or AAC (HD). These are default BT audio codecs that nearly every audio BT device can connect with. These are not high definition codecs where you won't hear the specific instruments in an orchestra and other audio. With that, they sound decent, loud enough for normal phone calls, listening to music, or listening to audiobooks or whatever you want to listen to. EQ Control The EQ function worked well. While you won't get amazing bass, you do notice it is there and provide nice sound. I've set my EQ to Rock and it sounds good. Phone Calls After making a few phone calls, no issues were evident. No one complained about being about to hear me speak. I could hear them without issue as well. Truefree App Interaction The Truefree app appeared to well with this set. Configuring the touch controls was easy and each touch function worked as you would expect. This is an improvement over some prior Truefree sets I've tested. With that, the touch pad on these is on the rear behind the ear. After getting used to the positioning, no issues with touch controls. My only suggestion is to instead have the touch controls on the inner ear section were the speaker is. Pressing the back of the set, pushing the earlobe moved the set and earlobe. It was fine, just felt uneasy if you aren't being careful. Moving the touch control to the inner part of the set would be more stable as the earlobe provides additional support. Battery Life First opening and using these earphones, they started at about 86% and whilst typing this on my phone and listening to DOOM (2016) OST, Rebel Galaxy OST, making phone calls, and now listening to Brothers of Metal, they are now at about 70% battery life. 15% in about an hour or so isn't too bad. Conclusion I'm a fan of this form factor. They are comfortable without being overbearing, weighing your ears down, and can remain for a long time without pain. They won't fall off if you're banging your head, running, working out, etc. An improvement of the app with the earphones makes this set a reliable and dependable set to choose. If you want audio without the pain of IEMs or the bulk of over-ear headphones, this is a solid choice. In addition to the above, the price is right. Currently, they are $40 on Amazon.

I have been wearing them all day for over a week and find that they are light and easy to wear all day. I saw this design and wondered how these open-ear clip headphones would feel and sound. I am glad I did, because they are now my favorite open ear headphones. Left and right are marked on each earphone. When I put them on, it took a moment to find how they fit best and then I was very happy to find they are nearly imperceptible to wear. I don’t feel them at all. At the same time they sit securely on each ear! I have worn them while working out and had no problem with them moving at all. The sound quality is fantastic. Still, I could hear ambient noises, so wearing these while running water for dishes or vacuuming made them hard to hear. However, the volume has range! In a quiet setting, I am happy at 20- 30% and have room to spare if surrounding sounds are louder. I get a true 5.5 hours per charge and an easy 3 full charges from the case. The little oval case is about 2.5” long x 2” wide x 1” thick. It is like a rounded skipping stone that easily fits in the palm of the hand. The case recharges quickly using USB-C (a separate USB to USB-C cable comes with the case). I easily synced them with my phone, turned off phone Bluetooth and then quickly synced them with my computer. With Bluetooth on for both, the headphones work with whichever is playing sound. As with many headphones that pair to multiple devices, the one with sound takes over. If I turn off either device Bluetooth or “dual device connection” in the APP, then it will only connect to one at a time. I have just taken a phone call on the headphones and was told I sound very clear. They are IPX4 (meaning they resist water splashes from any direction but not immersion in water or from jets of water) making them suitable for everyday activities, plus workouts and bathing. Further, the app has a setting under More Functions called Drainage Function to blow out any moisture that may have made it into the earphones. In the APP (on my phone, installed, signed in, and paired to the B1 set), I navigated to settings and checked for any Firmware update for the headphones (there was not one). That took only a moment. Then I tried out the different preset equalizers (EQ) and even made a few of my own. There is a wide range for adjustment to sound preference. I also went to a very quiet room and performed the hearing test. This generated a personalized EQ to my terrible hearing (lots of tinnitus). After choosing an EQ, I checked the charge state on each headphone - which can be seen in the APP. Now, about the APP specifically: While the APP is not required for normal headphone use, it does allow updates to the firmware, seeing headphone specific charge state, and personalizing the EQ and touch settings, etc. FYI, when the APP is opened it creates a new instance for itself in Bluetooth settings (mine says “BT8932D”), close the APP and that goes away. The APP allows sending issues to tech support (under Help and Feedback, pressing the avatar at the upper left corner) and also performing Firmware updates (in settings found at the upper right corner), so any little issues that arise in the APP get addressed and the headphones get updates. Once signed in to the APP the first time, it does not need to be done again. Each time the APP is opened, I quickly “Accept” and “Connect Device”. I watched the video in Amazon Qs on how to get to the register screen.( I think after selecting accept, I clicked “forgot” at the bottom and that is where the register option was. Enter email, enter a “letter only” password, click to get a code sent to email. Enter the code in the minute allotted, view the terms again and click Register. Try again if it does nothing. It will work after a few tries.) The APP lets me see the charge level of each earphone. I find this useful when deciding if I should charge them and use a different pair when planning on doing some things. The APP offers many preset EQ to select from as well as offering a customizable and savable EQ option. This makes me VERY happy, and I have been refining my own custom settings to suit my hearing! Game mode and dual device connection and be turned on/off in the APP. There is also a place to customize the touch settings. I love that I can CUSTOMIZE and DISABLE ALL TOUCH CONTROLS here! I have long hair and, when wet, I accidentally stop, play, or turn sound up or down. Disabling touch on demand is the solution. There is also a hearing test to personalize the EQ. This is very cool as it tests hearing sensitivity across a spectrum of sound frequency types in about 2 minutes and used this to generate a personalized EQ setting. I would love to learn more about the tweaks made based on my weird hearing!

love them...get lots of compliments when wearing them and questions about the sound quality and they are one of the best clip ins I tried and I tried many..sound is good considering they are not in ear....and for a change the touch control almost works...(my fingers and talent for sensory touch buttons is not compatible so I usually struggle...but with these I sort of manage...the app is a bonus too..free of course..)

Cieszę się nimi, bardzo fajne, słyszy się głos ze słuchawek i z otoczenia. Nie mogę jednak wyczuć na nich punktu włączania i wyłączania

Son correct et tient très bien

Muy contento con este producto, la calidad es muy buena. El audio és bueno para el precio y lo que más me preucupaba, que los demás escucharan lo que ponía y que no fueran comodos se ha demostrado que cumplen con creces sus estandares. No són auriculares para lis forofos de la calidad de audio, pero para un casual como yo són perfectos. (He hecho deporte con ellos y no se caen.)

hola, aqui les tengo mis puntos de vista despues de una semana de uso de este par de auriculares Truefree B1 los cuales vienen con varias cosas muy buenas y si sabes bien lo andas buscando y para que los usaras creo pueden ser una excelente opcion, pero vayamos por partes. primero que nada esta el punto del diseño, sere honesto, al inicio tuve mis dudas creyendo que no se escucharian bien y que serian incomodos, la verdad eso fue lo que inicialmente crei peeeroooo o sorpresa pues primero que nada son muy comodos tanto hasta el punto de en ocasiones creer o mejor dicho olvidar que los traes puestos, la verdad muy ligeros y muy comodos, ahora tomando en cuenta el sonido hay algunos matices que hay que ver inicialmente y eso precisamente va tomado de la mano con su diseño, veamos, estos auriculares no son de los que entran directamente al canal auditivo pero tampoco son de los que van tan alejados del oido como los de conduccion aerea pues al ponertelos quedan algo mas parecido a los tipicos auriculares de vastago que no llevan olivas de ningun tipo pero quedan muy cerca de la entrada del canal auditivo lo cual no cala en lo absoluto peeero por el tipo de diseño tampoco esperes un volumen digno de explotarte la cabeza ok, ahora bien suenan muy muy bien, las voces son claras y nitidas y bien presentes, los agudos son cristalinos y de buen nivel, los bajos aqui es donde estan los matices mencionados y los explicare asi, los sonidos graves estan presentes pero de forma algo discreta, si se escuchan si se notan pero mas que nada son los graves tipicos de golpe seco ya que los bajos de reverb son los que se pierden y creo yo es precisamente por el tipo de diseño que presentan pero aun asi estan y son de alguna u otra forma disfrutables. el diseño esta pensado en estos auriculares para dejar pasar algo del sonido ambiente pues son el tipo de audifonos para deportes ya sea ir al gym a correr o simplemente ir a dar una caminada o bicicleta pero sin desconectarte de lo que sucede a tu alrededor lo cual te permite estar consciente de situaciones que pudieran causarte algun problema, puedo decir que tienen el suficiente volumen para que el escucharlos aun en ambientes con algo de ruido no sea un problema y poder disfrutar de tus pistas de audio favoritas sin mayores problemas, al usarlos como manos libres suenan claros y con buen volumen al responder o hacer llamadas, la bateria es de una duracion bastante aceptable rondando el promedio de las 5 horas con un volumen aproximado del 70% y en general funcionan muy bien ademas de contar con el BT 5.4 que es el mas nuevo a este momento por lo que no debes tener problemas al momento de utilizarlos y emparejarlos con diferentes gatgets, adicionalmente cuentan con multipunto el cual funciona muy bien. el estuche es pequeño y se carga por tipo C brindando a los auriculares proteccion al momento de llevarlos guardados y recargar su bateria, algo que no he podido yo hacer es apagarlos teniendolos afuera del estuche lo cual se me hace un poco raro pero no es algo que entorpezca el uso, yo en lo particular lo uso mucho porque soy del tipo que no vuelve a cargar los auriculares una vez que los saco de su estuche sino hasta que me piden carga osea estando abajo del 10% de bateria pero pues aqui no lo he logrado hacer y forzosamente debo meterlos en su estuche el en cual quedan muy bien agarrados con pines magneticos y son facil de tomar y llevarlos a las orejas, vienen con sus logos de izquierda o derecha y embonan de forma correcta y facil, algo que me gusta mucho a mi en lo personal es que los auriculares no se conectan al dispositivo en cuanto abres la caja y eso a mi asi es como me gusta honestamente sino que lo hacen hasta que los sacas de su case y al momento de ponerlos en el case aunque no hayas cerrado la tapita en automatico se desconectan lo cual a mi en lo personal me agrada mucho. por ultimo vayamos a la aplicacion de Truefree la cual te permite no solo actualizar el firmware del producto sino que adicionalmente puedes con dicha aplicacion tambien personalizar el audio de los auriculares con diferentes matices, un ecualizados, y lo que para mi es lo mejor de todo es que puedes personalizar lo que deseas que hagan los gestos tactiles de cada auricular lo cual deberia ser un estandar para todos los audifonos BT la verdad, es una pasada, eso de poder poner que quieres que haga ya sea el auricular izquierdo o el derecho depende el numero de toques que des en el panel tactil ya se un toque, dos toques o tres toques asi como el dejar oprimido 1.5 segundos ya sea el izquierdo o el derecho la verda te habre un mundo de posibilidades para uno mismo personalizar al gusto real estos excelentes auriculares y por ende hacerlos aun mas funcionales a lo que necesitas de forma muy personal... un 100 ahi la verdad para la marca. creo es todo lo que puedo decir, si bien el panel tactil es inicialmente un poco "dificl" de usar es cosa de un par de dias en lo que te acostrumbras a el pues queda atras de tu oreja pero insisto es solo de acostumbrarte a ello. bueno eso es todo, gracias si llegaste hasta aqui y si tenias en tu mira estos auriculares Truefree B1 como opcion de compra pues espero que estos puntos vistos de mi parte te hayan ayudado a salir de dudas, que tengan un excelente dia y felices compras!!!
