As a tech reviewer I receive many wireless earbuds inquiries every month, but most of the time they
are so boring that I’m even unwilling to click the link to find out more. But these Elevoc
Clear Earbuds do have something special that I’m really interested in and I’d like to recommend.
For those who are unfamiliar with the Elevoc company, it is a leading AI-powered audio solution
provider for many big brands like Qualcomm, OnePlus, and Xiaomi etc. And Elevoc Clear
are their first wireless earbuds, which you can find on Indiegogo. Currently it is still in its
crowdfunding campaign stage and offers the best price. Link is in the description. Their slogan
is “Remove all background noise from calls”. That’s a bold statement, but is it true? In
this video I will mainly focus on call quality and compare it with the Apple Airpods Pro.
So the first scenario I’m testing is at the metro station, because I assume this is maybe the most
common scenario for most urban white collar workers. Here is before I hopped on the train.
And then after, on the fast-moving train.
For this scenario, I would say they have almost the same call quality before I hopped on the
train carriage, but all changed when the train moved. Airpods Pro takes in all the sound. You
can clearly hear the voice from the subway announcer and other noises from the train's
operation. While for the Elevoc clear, it denoises nearly all noises from the subway including the
announcer’s sound so dramatically that you don’t even notice they exist. And to give you an idea
of just how noisy the metro is, here is the original audio by my OPPO Reno 6 Pro phone.
The next scenario is when out of the metro on to the street. Again the Elevoc Clear is better
for denoising the wind noise and other unwanted sounds, thus it felt clearer.
To push things even further, I just stood next to a fountain, and here are the testing results between the two.
I think I don’t even need to comment. You know which is way better. To test
the wind noise canceling, I was riding on a scooter and comparing the two, both at 25km/h speed.
In this extreme situation, I wouldn’t say Elevoc Clear got rid of all the noises,
you can hear some wind noises but that doesn’t impact your sound, you can still hear clearly.
But not for the Airpods Pro, it’s basically a piece of crap, the sound has got muffled by
the wind noise and you will have no idea what the other side was talking about.
Moving indoors. I will leave it for you guys to judge. Please comment below, let me know which is better.
In these tests, I think the Elevoc still wins for most situations, it denoises the noise
and boosts the sound distinctly compared to the Airpods Pro. While for quiet environments, they
are the same and you can’t tell much difference.
To conclude, the Elevoc Clear surely does an
exceptionally, unbelievably good job on cancelling the noise significantly
during calls, it’s the best I’ve seen so far. It even handles those situations Airpods Pro can’t
even deal with. If you are looking for a pair of earbuds that provides the best call quality,
then I think this is the one. For others, the earbuds come with Bluetooth 5.2 with the AAC
codec, the connection is fast. The sound is fine, overall clear, and well-balanced. I think it’s
good enough for your workdays. The battery life is decent, I normally use 2 hours a day, and it lasts
me about two weeks with the charging case. Happy with that. The earbuds have three modes,
you hold down the touch area on the earbuds to switch between ANC, Transparency, and Normal
mode. Overall, I would be very happy to recommend them for their awesome active noise cancelling
and call quality. If you have to ask me are there any downsides I would say I did experience a few
disconnections whilst using, and also the wearing comfort is not as comfortable as the Airpods Pro,
but that’s understandable since it’s a prototype and costs only a fraction of Apple’s at only $60!
Really nothing to complain about. If you are interested in the Elevoc Clear, you can check out
