At the CES 2021, OEMs including ZTE, TCL, & Edifier have launched their latest wireless earbuds. TCL seemed to be on a roll as the company announced plenty of products, including earbuds, smartphones, and more. ZTE has also launched a new smartphone alongside the latest earbuds. And audio brand Edifier launched true wireless earbuds. Let’s check out the features and other details about the latest launches.
TCL Moveaudio S600 True Wireless Earbuds
The TCL Moveaudio S600 is a pair of new true wireless earbuds made for users who want a powerful audio wearable to go by their day-to-day life. TCL has priced them at €149 (~$182) and will launch them in global markets next month.
The Moveaudio S600 features noise canceling that could be of great help to daily commuters. Although these earbuds have noise-cancellation for an immersive audio experience, they do not entirely block the outer interaction to keep the user aware of their surroundings. The Moveaudio S600 true wireless earbuds also have a transparency mode enabling the surrounding noise to penetrate through an audio filter using the microphone. An IP54 rating makes these earbuds water and dust resistant.
Connectivity options on these earbuds include Bluetooth 5 with support Google Fast Pair offering effortless integration with Android devices. The battery on these earbuds provides a backup of up to 8 hours on a single charge. The backup goes up to 32 hours if users keep the buds intact in the charging case for running full charging cycles.
They also have Google Assistant integration that enables seamless playback management. It also has smart wear detection that pauses the playback automatically whenever the users take them off.
ZTE True Wireless LiveBuds

One thing that one would notice on the LiveBuds is that they have a striking resemblance with the 1More PistonBuds.
The ZTE LiveBuds features an IPX4 rating and touch controls. They come with Android and iOS compatibility with a battery life that lasts up to 4 hours on a single charge and more than 20 hours when left in the charging case to run complete charge cycles.
