In-Depth Review of the Aukey EP-N7 True Wireless Earbuds

鉴于无线耳塞的普及，您可能会认为找到一对好的一对很容易。确实，虽然更多的人佩戴无线芽比以往任何时候都多，但这并不能保证质量。正是由于无线芽如此受欢迎，因此有很多制造商正在尝试他们的手。这导致了不均匀的结果。一些公司要么没有经验，要么只是为了短期现金抢夺。其他人只是制作伪劣产品。为了找到满足您需求的最佳芽，如果您坚持使用可靠的制造商，它会有所帮助。奥基是最成熟的人之一wireless earbudmanufacturers around, with dozens of excellent models.

Things didn’t used to be this complicated. Before True Wireless Stereo (TWS) was invented, you avoided wireless earbuds except for hands-free calling. When TWS went mainstream, there were only two models: the AirPods and Everybody Else. In other words, it’s only in the past few years that manufacturers have been able to compete in this field. Hence, we have a slew of options flooding the market.

Today, we’ll be staying with Aukey, and reviewing the EP-N7 True Wireless Earbuds. These compact buds are suitable for work or play, and have a slick black aesthetic. But that doesn’t tell us much about how they actually work. We wanted to know more about the battery life, and how they feel when you wear them. And, of course, we wanted to know how good the audio is. To find out, we needed to put these earbuds through their paces. Now, we’re going to tell you everything we’ve learned. Let’s get started!

Overall Design

TheAukey EP-N7真无线耳塞have a compact design, and are made to sit securely in your ears. They’re both smaller than most “compact” earbuds and have a longer battery life. This is thanks to the AirPod-style battery studs which protrude outside your ears. The studs have a flat profile, and are the same matte black as the rest of the earbud shells. The external batteries aren’t just convenient because of their small size. Since they put the batteries lower than the bottoms of the earbuds, they make the buds bottom-heavy. This means they’re less likely to pop out of your ears during physical activity.

当然，您不必担心您的耳塞一开始就弹出。如果安装得当，他们将坐在您的耳朵内，不会去任何地方。这需要一个适合您耳道的小费。为了帮助您，Aukey包含包装中的三组额外的硅胶耳尖。这些技巧是三种不同的尺寸，因此请不要安定过太松或太紧的合身。花几分钟的时间才能在第一天获得合适的合适，可以在道路上付出大的红利。

如果安全拟合是您需要的最重要因素，请考虑Aukey EP-T32 Wireless Earbuds。These buds sport a pair of large rubber hooks, which wrap around the backs of your ears. They hold tight, even when the ear tips slip loose. That said, the pairing feature is a bit twitchy, and sometimes the connection needs to be reset.

Returning to the EP-N7 earbuds, you’ll notice a pair of gloss black circles on the back. These are not the touch controls. The touch controls are actually located below these circles, so make sure you’re tapping in the right place. Once you’ve got that figured out, you’ll find that the controls actually work quite well. You can use them for a variety of functions, including adjusting the volume and skipping songs. You can also answer and end calls, and even bring up Siri or Google Assistant. From there, you can do anything your phone’s voice assistant can do hands-free.

These earbuds are water-resistant, with arating of IPX5。这相当于较强的防溅额度，因此在多雨的条件下，芽可以安全穿。我们不会洗澡，但是对于大多数其他目的而言，它们的水密度足够了。

Like most wireless buds, the EP-N7 earbuds come with a charging case. It’s matte black in color, matching the earbud shells. When you open the clamshell lid, you’ll see a pair of molded ear wells for the buds to drop into. These wells ensure that you don’t get the earbuds crossed, and that both will charge correctly. That said, the buds lay in place like a pair of parallel lines, and don’t make a good use of space. The result is a fairly beefy case that’s a big bulky for smaller pockets. It’s rounded for comfort, but we still would have liked to see a smaller profile.

在外壳的前面，就在盖子的正面下方，您会发现一排四个LED灯。这些表示当前的电池状态，因此您不会被死电池捕获。在外壳的背面，有一个USB Type-C端口，用于为内部电池充电。包装中包含USB到USB Type-C电缆。

这些是中价的耳塞，可能比您愿意花费的更多。如果您只想要一双便宜的芽，请查看Aukey EP-T31 Wireless Earbuds, which are more affordable. On the other hand, they don’t have the noise cancellation and voice isolation features of the more advanced EP-N7.

Battery and Connectivity

电池寿命是耳塞性能的另一个重要度量。在这方面，EP-N7既不是特别出色也不令人失望。耳塞本身的每收费五个小时的播放量为五个小时，这还不错。但是请记住，制造商的评级基于一半卷的测试。如果您播放很多响亮的音乐，您的电池寿命将相应少。

Other factors, such as cold weather, can also negatively impact your battery life. But under normal conditions, you can expect about four to five hours per charge. This can be extended by using the charging case, which has enough capacity for four recharges. This will net you a total of 20 to 25 hours’ battery life.

充电both the earbuds and the case is easy. To charge the buds, simply put them in the case for about 90 minutes. As long as the case has any juice left, the earbuds will charge automatically. Similarly, the case itself will charge in about 90 minutes via USB Type-C. This makes it quick and painless to top off your batteries. Unless you’re going deep in the wilderness for days on end, you’ll never run out of power.

The EP-N7 buds connect to your phone or MP3 player with the current Bluetooth standard, Bluetooth 5.0. This version of Bluetooth is a significant upgrade over earlier versions of the protocol. To begin with, Bluetooth 5.0 connections have far less latency than their earlier predecessors. This means that there won’t be any desynchronization between audio and video when gaming or watching a movie. Next, Bluetooth 5.0 allows for higher bitrates. If you want to listen to HD audio on your wireless buds, you’ll be able to enjoy the full quality. Finally, it offers a more stable connection, so your earbuds won’t randomly disconnect.

此外，这些耳塞均设计用于立体声和单声道的使用。在立体声模式下，您会通过左侧和右频道听到最初记录的音频。这确实是您要听音乐的唯一方法。也就是说，使用恰到好处的芽或左芽可以拥有自己的优势。主要是，您可以意识到周围的环境，以避免交通和其他危害。不仅如此，您还可以一次燃烧一次，可以延长电池寿命。

Audio Quality

The heart and soul of the EP-N7 earbuds is their 8mm titanium drivers. These are around average-sized for a pair of compact buds, and the result is about what you’d expect. As is their tradition, Aukey provides a wide soundstage with plenty of separation between instruments. The audio is also clear and pleasant to listen to across all frequencies. However, the bass can’t quite keep up at higher volumes. Crank things up past about 75 percent, and the bass will be noticeably quieter than the rest of the mix. Still, you’re getting good audio for the size.

混合ANC技术也工作得很好。This system combines internal and external mics to provide the best noise cancellation available. The outside mics are able to capture noises earlier, while the inside mics can adjust for any errors in the ANC. In total, this system can reduce background noise by an impressive 35dB. Planes, trains, and crowded areas will not disturb your listening. There’s also an option for transparency mode. When this is activated, you’ll immediately hear more of your surroundings, not less. It’s a great way to have a quick conversation or listen for a flight announcement without removing your buds.

Call performance is also quite good. Each EP-N7 earbud has a pair of built-in microphones that will focus on your voice during a conversation. This helps to eliminate background noise, so other people can hear you more clearly. How well you can hear the other person will depend entirely on how good their equipment is.

Final Verdict

As you can see, there’s a lot to like about theAukey EP-N7真无线耳塞。Their only drawbacks are minor. The large case is forgivable, and the weak bass is a side effect of small drivers. These drivers, in turn, are as big as one could reasonably expect given the small size of the physical earbuds. The size, in turn, makes them comfortable to wear, as well as more discreet than some of the larger earbuds. Not only that, but the ANC is highly effective, and the call quality is excellent. These are excellent earbuds both for home and for travel.
