The extremely unknown (HyperX) headset product line includes two series of Cloud gaming headsets and Cloud Buds, of which the former models are far richer than the latter, the latter only Cloud Earbuds and Cloud Buds, and even no TWS true wireless headphones. To fill the gap in the market, HyperX recently launched hyperX Cloud Buds Skylark TWS True Wireless Headphones for mobile device users, which have a built-in 10mm high-quality driver unit and provide more than 26 (4+22) hours of battery life.
The Cloud Buds Lark TWS package contains the headphone body, supplemental ear cap (standard medium size, size number included), charging case, USB-C charging cable and instruction manual. The charging case of cloud Buds Skylark TWS headphones is a bit chic in shape, different from the large R-corner box design on the market, this charging box adopts a flat round egg shape with a non-slip shallow slot. On the back of the charging case, there is a pairing key, and pressing it for three seconds will put the headset back into pairing mode.
Exterior details
This pair of headphones is relatively popular in appearance design, hyperX logo is placed on about 2cm end pipe, and the end pipe to cavity is almost sealed, so this headset can have IPX4 waterproof rating and can be used in rainy days. There are also two metal contacts on the tip of the end pipe for charging.
HyperX Cloud Buds Skylark TWS has no ear wings, but according to the actual experience, this headset has a large cavity, and it is worn to highlight a stable word. Its cavity is elliptical in shape and has a short catheter design.
In order to better fit the user's inner ear, hyperX Cloud Buds Skylark TWS's ear caps and catheters are not round, but elliptical. To their credit, the ear cap and catheter are so strong that it takes a little effort to remove it, so that you are not afraid that the ear cap will fall off when you remove the headphones.
Usage experience
HyperX Cloud Buds Skylark TWS net weight 8g, belongs to the light TWS headphones, in such a light body board also built-in 10mm driver unit, is really rare. The single battery life of the headset is about 4 hours, and with the built-in battery of the charging case, it can achieve more than 26 hours of battery life. Like most TWS headsets, cloud Buds Skylark TWS can also use single/dual headphone touch mode, the touch point is located slightly below the tailpipe logo, and the functions that can be achieved by touch include playing/pausing or answering/hanging up (single touch), next song (2 touches), previous song (3 touches), and reject (touch holds for two seconds).
When the device is not paired, removing the headset will immediately enter pairing mode, and there will be a "di du" sound after successful pairing.
More than 6 hours of wear does not appear to be stuffy ear squeezing, during which there is a charge, basically in line with the single charge endurance of 4 hours of advertising. Regarding the sound insulation ability, it is all passively supported by ear caps, and the first test is good because it is in the office location and the noise is not large. However, after changing to an outdoor environment, some noise will be heard when the volume is low, and the volume increase has been improved.
In terms of audio quality, the place of strength is concentrated in the low and medium frequencies, the tuning is conservative, and some popular music, especially the piano sound performance will be softer. The extension between the frequency bands is good, relatively soft, and can smooth the transition. Also, when watching some movies with a fairly large dynamic range, the details are preserved. Therefore, when facing some mobile games, there are enough description capabilities to fully show the sound effects that the game should have.
Write at the end
A whole day of experience, because of the good weight control, coupled with the more rounded cavity, HyperX Cloud Buds Skylark TWS gives a good wearing experience. The audio quality can also cope with daily needs, all aspects of the function is not left behind, basically in line with the expectations of mobile game players, coupled with waterproof characteristics, daily outing is not afraid of any accidents. The lack of ANC active noise reduction may not be suitable for too noisy scenes, which does not know whether HyperX will launch an upgrade to meet the needs of users?
