Oladance I've tested out and used for quite some time their open wireless stereo open air
style earbuds super comfortable really good but they're back now with a new model which is the
ows Pro so this model here has their focus mode now the focus mode in fact it's a first for open
air style earbuds uses focal point screening so it's filtering and removing annoying distracting
background noises so you can focus they do have a run time of 16 hours on a single charge and with
the case 58 hours in total and speaking of the case you don't need to use it with them so they
can run and operate separately without the case you can just leave it at home ipx4 waterproof
rating to them so you know you can sweat on them you can run in the rain it's not going to be an
issue and because of the open air style to them they are very comfortable and very healthy too
because they're not in your inner ear and that means you get no pressure build up no fatigue
and I can wear this for hours on end and they're simply just one of the most comfortable earbuds
I've ever used and here's what we get in the Box we've got our type A to type c cable now
charge time is around about two hours to fully charge the case and our open-air earbuds inside
but 15 minutes charge will give us six hours of playing time which is really good there is this
here so a little bit of information but also some accessories that you can get for the ows Pro you
see there is a carry case and on the back on the other side the reverse side you'll see the ows
button and the mini case optional accessories the weight of these open air earbuds is 14 grams each
and with the case you are looking at then a total travel weight of a hundred and one grams okay size
is pretty standard for those open air style and they're made out of this very nice plastic to
them you see the Ola dance logo type c Port there on the back and good finish to the Plastics it
doesn't really pick up smudges or fingerprints or won't scratch too easy either and great to
see they have not gone with piano glossy black which I find just is a bit of a smudgy smeary mess
now they've used in the inside this really nice rubberized finish to it and it just looks great
so I've got the Misty Black Version here the color now the charging case lid when closed it doesn't
rattle it doesn't cause the earbuds inside to roll around because it applies a little bit of pressure
to them there they've got magnets that hold them in really firm so there's going to be no problems
with any rattling very easy to see that we've got our left and right and we have the status LEDs at
the front here to tell us the remaining battery life for this case here now battery life up to 16
hours on a single charge which is really good so they have their little steel Cannon battery they
call it it's 150 milliamp hours and that gives us with the case a total of 58 hours the build
quality the finish here is superb as you'd expect for something that's a high quality product here
from Ola dance so I'll button here this is a not a capacitive touch but a press in physical
click button I do like this because capacitive controls can sometimes be hit and miss so the
air hook design very good the material they're using right here this is skin safe so you're
going to have no problems with that it doesn't give me any irritation or any issues at all
charging contact points right there and because it's open Air Design we've got our speaker and
that's the mesh over it now what I like about it is it's using a large driver well it's rectangular
it's 23 millimeters by 10 still delivers very good bass we have the focus mode that's going
to be filtering out the lows the mids so you can concentrate a little bit better which is a great
option to have with these and it's so much better than the bone conduction or in ears now in ears a
lot of people get fatigued with them it's not so good for your air Health they get pressure
build up you'd get tired of them but not with these I've been wearing them for hours on end
and they're super comfortable I really like just how they are with this Open Air Design so there's
a little bit of a resistance here they're very easy to put on your ear you simply put them on
and just turn them around like so and really good finish to them as you can see now they do support
multi-point mode so I can have them paired up to my s23 ultra then move over to my tab S9 Ultra and
you don't have to do that reset reconnect and go through that whole process because of that support
which is very handy to have that feature so in the application here you can see we've got our battery
life at first glance there left and right now you can operate both of these just individually if
you wanted to you can do like a buddy mode as well and you don't even need to have the case you could
just go out with these if you didn't want to take the case whether you're worried about the extra
bulk the weight perhaps you're going out for a run and you're just taking your watch with you and you
want those and you just leave the case behind you don't need it so here we've got our touch controls
you can go along and customize those so the double tap and all those settings to change them which
gives us good flexibility here you can see the focus mode can be toggled just straight away we
have our equalizer so they've got three settings here for us but you can go along and customize
your own to your own listening pleasure there what you prefer and I like all this flexibility
we have so the settings here you can see we've got a lot more options in here too as well so you have
pairing records you've got the sound balance you can adjust that now the hearing protection mode
this is very good too as well you can turn this on so what it's going to do is detecting certain
frequencies volumes just to protect your hearing so you're not going to be able to damage your ears
at audience intelligently adjusting that so it is a very good feature to have with something like
this so you don't end up of course damaging your ears you push the volume up too high and later
on you're going to pay the price for that gestures here too as well you can enable those so you don't
have to do the Press you can use gestures on that whole pad too as well which is good
and you see there's other options too shut down firmware updates and there's the uh
buddy okay single buddy a bud to one of them you can set them up individually
then sound quality of them now well base wise I wanted to focus on that first not bad at all
considering it's open air style we've got the 23 by 10 millimeter driver and they have their
preset 2 and their equalizer which is called surging base it really does Boost it up and
I think it's pretty good impressive really for this kind of design this style others of course
with the in-ears you've got the Silicon tip and they can normally deliver very powerful
bass and they will so it is a little different in that aspect there the mids do sound excellent
vocals and the highs have some detail to them and I don't notice any clipping the volume can
be pushed quite hard and as you're running along or using these not only is the fit comfortable we
can hear all the background noises which is the key reason really to go for open air style is you
can hear your surrounding sounds and there is no noise cancellation with them because you want the
opposite of that with these and you get it now a bit of a real world test so of course you can use
them for running that's what they're designed for and they're older model the wearable stereo you
I see what the best you can get for runners so jogging ahead you can see they sit there they're
not going anywhere they're not going to come off I don't feel like I need to keep pressing them in
and if you're going to be a walking and wearing them too well it's not an issue with sunglasses
if you wear glasses or sunglasses I don't hear them constantly knocking into them all right which
can be a real bigger noise when you're walking along you're going to hear this kind of noise
constantly knocking no it doesn't happen at all at least not with these sunglasses and even some
other glasses I have no problem so they've got a super secure fit they are not going to go anywhere
and finally the latency is it going to be a problem could you use the ows Pros to watch
an episode of say Cobra car here on Netflix will it be annoying will the audio be out of
sync it's not I can happily watch anything on here Netflix Amazon Prime video streaming whatever and
even videos directly of course from my phone the audio is in time so that is good to see
no example now with the Ola dance ows pros and what do you think of this quality I think there
is definite room for improvement this is my criticism of them that I think the my quality
I hope with some firmware updates that they can just tweak this a little bit it sounds alright I
can be understood tiny little bit of clipping now and then it sounds a little bit muffled
so they're very easy fitting these you just simply need to place them on your ear like so
give them a bit of a turn that's it they're on okay and they are very comfortable I've talked
about this you do not notice that 13 grams that they weigh each I don't and they're not applying
any pressure now this in my testing is a solid fit it's just not going anywhere you can run you
can jump you can pretty much do anything that you would climbing upstairs all sorts of stuff
they're not going to go anywhere and if you are someone that's training you're running of course
you want to hear approaching maybe e-scooters you want to hear bikes and traffic and everything and
with the open air style you've got all the ambient sounds still you're not getting any passive sound
isolation that you would within air Style with the Silicon tips and active noise cancellation
and things like that they're a different style too of course with them now the comfort of these
is just to Simply put it absolutely amazing they are so comfortable I can happily wear these for
10 hours on end I could not do that with any as any is I get to about the two hour point maybe
a little bit longer and I just feel a little bit fatigued by them I've got to remove them let my
ears breathe a little bit and give my ears even a break but not with these at all because your ears
they open that's the whole point of this style they're very healthy too so they're great for ears
you're hearing everything so the focus mode that's great feature to have especially with open ear
style in fact it's a first to have this and the sound quality of them with a 23 millimeter by 10
millimeter drivers you get surprisingly good bass for the star open air so it's different because
they're not in here it's a little bit different there but the mints The Trebles they do sound good
and you've got the equalizer application firmware updates The Voice calls this is my only area of
criticism I wish they they can hopefully improve with firmware updates the mic quality it seems
a little muffled there was a tiny little bit of clipping that I did notice other than that you can
be heard you can be understood for handling calls with this so they've got so much going for them
they really are good and that fantastic battery life I mean 16 hours they just go and go and go
and go up to 16 hours and then with the case in total you have 58 hours that is a lot and as I
pointed out at the start there you don't even need the case in order to be able to use these
because you can just take them along and place them in your bag and say you're going to go for
a run you don't want to have the case in your pocket well just take them wear them so thanks
so much for watching my first impressions my hands on here of the Ola dance ows Pros
