True wireless earbuds with Bluetooth 5
Getting the right pair of headphones or earphones is crucial to a relaxing travel experience for me. Enjoying some music to drown out all the noise around you or watching something on your phone or laptop can help pass the time too. So which ones do you choose? We have recommended a few headphones to try but we also were given the chance to try some new earphones.
The TrueConnect earbuds have a range of great features:
- 5+20 hours battery, with fast charging
- IPX5 sweat, splash and weather resistance
- Secure, comfortable fit; ideal for active use
- Stem design maximises call quality
- Full device and digital assistant control via touch and mic
- Durable flip charging case carries 4 charges
- Supplied with Comply™ TrueGrip Plus and RHA TrueConnect tips
- International 3-year warranty
The earbuds come in white, navy or black.
We were given a pair to try out and a couple of pairs to giveaway to our readers. We gave one pair away at our reader even,t but you can still win a pair in the competition at the bottom of this page.
So what did we think of the earphones?
Design
The earbuds had a high build quality. There was a nice tactile touch of the case with a great slider action. The slider case has strong magnets holding the earbuds in place so no worries there.
Lots of different sized ear tips are provided albeit on a metallic holder, which I felt without careful removal you could risk riping them. This means getting a good fit is eas,y but may take a few attempts to get the right size ear tips. British built too which gives them an extra few points as I like to support British.
Sound quality
Making calls the quality is good. There were some issues with calls, but these were my error leaving one earbud on in my pocket. ( I like to only use one earbud when taking calls).
For music and video, the sound quality is rich. The bass is full but not overpowering. There were comfortable to wear, but this requires you to have them fitted perfectly in your ear.
Considering they are not noise cancelling they do a pretty effective job of cutting out background noise. This makes them perfect for travelling. Again this is due to getting a good tip fit and the fact the main body fills your ear lobe.
Downsides
There is no application to adjust levels for audio. The pushbuttons are difficult to use/remember what each press does what. Speaking of which, when you remove them from the case it is easy to press a button by mistake. I think this has resulted in me turning off one of the buds on more than one occasion. They do not look as stylish nor as an iconic design as the Apple earpods. The price is a little high compared to similar quality pairs.
Michele tried them too and thought they may be a bit large for some smaller ears / female ears.
If you like the sound of the earbuds, you can now win a pair! We have a pair of white coloured earphones to give away, worth £149. To enter simply use the entry panel below. Competition closes at midnight on 22 December. Good luck!

Great timing ?am currently looking for a pair of Bluetooth headphones – these souls fit the bill perfectly!
Excellent review and look forward to trying out these earpods sometime!
I’d love to win a pair. Great for travelling.
Would be great to win a pair with a long flight to SAN Francisco coming up to try them out!
Fingers crossed!
Love a bit of new tech – thank you for the insight
My husband would just love these
Have always struggled to find wireless ear buds that perform having been very disappointed with an expensive pair from Earrin I read your review with interest
TLFL, I hear you!
I’m off to Lapland for the day on Saturday. A 738 full of excitable children seeing Father Christmas….please please please help me drown out the noise!! ?
Ooh what a fab prize. Thank you!
Good luck to everyone
I’d love to win a pair thanks
Interesting article. Could always do with more info to make travelling more enjoyable
They look great!
My best tip from you has been your advice on the best uses of the Amex Companion Vouchers. Thanks!
The entry widget is for “British Airways B767 safety card and certificate of the final B767 flight”, which doesn’t quite match up with the article, or presumably the prize on offer.
Yes please, for my husband.
I’d be interested to try them out – thanks for the review
Some good advice on your Ghent, Belgium weekend break & Ghent Marriott review. We are planning a trip in March so it made interesting and helpful reading. Buying the Ghent City Card All in seems the way to go as there is so much to see…Thank you
Would love to win them
Hope I win and hope they fit
Fab prize , would love them .
They’re ok, the cons mentioned in the review do outweigh whats good about them. The Jabra pair i have are better.
My other half has used these for a while and highly rates them.
I’ve been seeing adverts for these on my commute each morning. They look good and hopefully they will sound great.
Would love these
