In recent years, the market for true wireless headphones has grown rapidly. According to Canalys, Q3 global TWS headphone shipments in 2022 reached 0.77 million units, an increase of 6% over the same period last year and 22% month-on-month growth.

With the rapid development of the real wireless headset market, there is also the problem of product homogenization. The headphones launched by different brands are more or less the same in function and positioning, and lack of consideration for the needs of the subdivided population.

On December 27, 2022, Future Intelligence, an artificial intelligence technology hardware company incubated by iFLYTEK, released iFLYBUDS Air, an open office headphone designed for office segments. Aiming at the pain point needs of office workers in the workplace, it integrates anti-leak sound, recording, real-time transcription, translation, call noise reduction and other functions, which can be said to be tailor-made for workers.

Now that CTOnews.com has got the iFLYTEK open office headset iFLYBUDS Air, let's take a look at its actual experience.

First, the design iFLYTEK office headphones iFLYBUDS Air packaging for the small square shape, the main tone is simple white, the front printed with headphone patterns and product description text, in line with the capable temperament of office people.

Look at the appearance of the headphone, it uses a very characteristic open non-ear design, the headphone body is a round jade shape, sandstone white color matching looks fashionable and pleasing to the eye.

The top of the headset is a flat area of manipulation and interaction, which forms a relatively sharp edge with the intersection of the whole cavity. There is a golden circle in the touch area, which is the future intelligent Logo of iFLYTEK, which has a good sense of design as a whole.

There are microphones, call noise reduction sensors, indicator lights and switch knobs on the outside of the headphones, and there are also call noise reduction sensors on the inside, as well as left and right signs and metal charging contacts.

It is simple and stylish in industrial design, the material is also very high-grade texture, while the headphone body is also very light, TWS mode orders only headphones weigh only 11.5g.

Speaking of mode, the iFLYTEK office headset iFLYBUDS Air has two forms: neck-hanging and ear-hanging, and the package also comes with a neck-hanging pendant, which can be removed and installed, and everyone can switch freely according to their own needs.

Neck hanging accessories are also sandstone white, and the headphone body can be well integrated, this color matching material looks advanced and low-key, full of texture.

Under the condition of neck hanging, the overall weight of the headset is only 23.5g, so it won't feel heavy to wear.

The charging box is also simple to the end, and even the front Logo is very shallow, a piece of sandstone white at a glance.

In addition to headphones, charging boxes, the packaging also sent neck-hanging accessories, portable chargers, storage bags, charging wires and user instructions, etc., the gifts are still relatively rich.

Generally speaking, iFLYTEK open office headset iFLYBUDS Air pursues extreme simplicity and conciseness in product design, which is very commensurate with the people in the workplace. At the same time, the face of headphones is handled just right in simplicity. Daily use, whether neck-hanging type or ear-hanging type, is relatively good-looking.

Open wear, variable form as an open office headset, iFLYTEK office headphones one of the most important highlights of iFLYBUDS Air is in the product form: open wear, and two variable forms.

Open, that is, not to the ear, wearing only close to the ear, such a design has a lot of advantages. First of all, there is no burden on the ear. Before using a lot of ear or half-ear headphones, the ears will be painful and uncomfortable after wearing them for a long time. There is no such problem with this headset.

In addition, not entering the ear can prevent headphones from breeding bacteria in the ear canal, and wearing them for a long time will not hurt the ear.

In addition, there is another advantage: wearing it when working or exercising in the office, it can not only hear the sound in the headphones, but also sense the surrounding environment in real time, ensure safety during exercise, and facilitate communication between the office and colleagues to avoid embarrassment.

Some students may ask, "Open to the ear, can you hear the sound in the headphones?" Of course you can. Because it uses a directional audio technology that transmits sound through air-oriented vibrations that allow you to hear the sound played in your headphones.

At the same time, it also supports "reverse acoustic cancellation technology" to achieve intelligent acoustic cancellation function, which can prevent headphones from leaking sound, so that you can enjoy music and calls within a comfortable social distance without fear of being heard.

In practice, the editor uses iFLYBUDS Air to play some audio frequencies to simulate calls. Standing next to the wearer, he can vaguely hear the sound in the headphones, but can not hear what is said in the headphones at all.

In the past, this kind of open headphones usually use bone conduction technology to listen to sound, but bone conduction headphones have the problem of bone pressure and shock, which can stimulate the auditory ossicles. IFLYTEK office headphones iFLYBUDS Air will not be without this problem at all.

Then is the variable form, iFLYBUDS Air has neck hanging type and TWS ear hanging type two forms, packaging default is ear hanging type. You can also remove the ear pendant and replace it with a neck pendant. The process of disassembly and disassembly is simple, like this:

TWS ear-hanging style can be used in high-intensity exercise or commuting, that is, some scenes where the body needs a lot of physical activity; neck-hanging style is suitable for daily office use, such as hanging the neck around the neck during meetings, which is more burden-free.

Third, recording and transcription function experience the first time to use iFLYTEK office headset iFLYBUDS Air, you need to pair it with your phone, download iFLYBUDS App, you can quickly identify pairs.

In App, you can also control and set various functions of headphones.

This is an office headset, the office scene is closely related to sound, the most high frequency of nature is recording and transcribing.

IFLYBUDS Air supports call recording, audio and video recording, and live recording to meet daily office needs.

1. Voice recording and transcription is first of all the recording and transcription of the call. When we usually take part in teleconference, online communication or remote interview, we all have the need to record the content of communication, either listen to it while recording, or record it first, and then translate it into text bit by bit according to the recording after the meeting, which is very time-consuming and laborious.

Using iFLYBUDS Air's call recording and transcript, these problems can be solved. It supports regular telephone and web conferencing, including Wechat voice, Tencent conference, nail language, Feishu conference, iFLYTEK hearing, Zoom, Teams and other voice and conference software calls.

When in use, long press the left or right ear touch area for recording and real-time text transcription, convenient and fast.

In the process of recording a call, the content of the recording can also be transcribed into text in real time and displayed on App.

CTOnews.com tested this function in the recording of a call using "nails". You can listen to the recording of the test process first, and the voice is clear enough.

Then looking at the results of transliteration, we can find that the accuracy of transliteration is very high, the sentence is smooth, and there is basically no error recognition.

When listening to the recording, you should be able to find that there are stutters and repetitions in some places when the editor speaks, and the rewritten content has been automatically typeset, filtered out these pauses and repetitions, and some modal words have also been filtered out. It can even distinguish the speaker, in short, the rewritten text is highly readable.

If you use iPhone, the built-in call function cannot be recorded, which is a worry for many iPhone users. With iFLYTEK office headphones iFLYBUDS Air, this problem is solved smoothly.

In terms of translation language, iFLYBUDS Air currently supports the translation of Mandarin, Chinese-English mixture, English, Japanese, Korean, Russian, French, Spanish, German and Italian, as well as 12 dialects including Henan, Hebei, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Chongqing dialects, as well as industry terms in 10 fields.

In addition, iFLYBUDS Air also supports cloud synchronization of call recording files, which provides 6000 minutes of free cloud space. You can share the files to your computer in the "iFLYBUDS" App, and then the content will be updated synchronously when modified on either side.

2. Audio and video recording and transcription is followed by audio and video recording and transcription. When you are watching video, taking online lessons or listening to other audio, you can convert the sound in the audio / video into text in real time through headphones.

At the same time, it also supports multilingual translation, transcribed and translated text will be displayed in real-time subtitles, and text and audio will be preserved.

As the iFLYTEK office headset iFLYBUDS Air supports the translation and translation of 10 major industry terms, such as finance, law, science and technology, health care, education and e-commerce, the accuracy of translation is guaranteed. For example, the rewriting of the above paragraph is very smooth as a whole.

With the blessing of this function, when watching overseas dramas without subtitles or some raw meat videos, you don't have to worry about not understanding them. Or listen to blogs, online classes, you can also use this function to generate content text, for the follow-up review of what, is also very convenient.

3. In terms of live recording and live recording, iFLYTEK office headset iFLYBUDS Air supports face-to-face communication, small meetings and other live recording scenes, with a maximum pickup coverage of 7m.

For example, during the test, the editor deliberately kept the sound source away from him, and then looked at the recording and transcription of the headphones.

As you can see, even if it is far away, it can receive radio very accurately, and the correct rate of recognition and transliteration is also very high. when reading the rewritten text, it is very smooth as a whole, and there are few mistakes.

After the recording is completed, you can also export audio and transcribed text, and also support link, text, and email sharing.

Generally speaking, the recording and transcription functions of iFLYTEK office headphones iFLYBUDS Air are relatively practical and easy to use. Calls, audio and video and live recording transcription cover most of the recording requirements of office scenes, and make this headphone have a certain productivity attribute. I believe it can become a new productivity tool for business people.

Fourth, other user experience for a headset, the sound quality is always more important, some students may be worried that this is open, will not affect the sound quality experience?

The editor also had this worry at first, but after actually using and listening, I felt that its sound quality experience was beyond expectations.

In the acoustic configuration, this headset has a customized 16.2mm super moving coil, which is more than 3 times that of ordinary headphones, among which the tubeless voice coil and high-performance rubidium iron magnet wound by Japanese Dahei original copper wire make the three-frequency balanced response sensitive, extremely soft TPU cantilever, combined with carbon mycelium fiber ball-top composite diaphragm to achieve ultra-lightweight diaphragm, making the mid-treble transparent bass rich, can better restore the real sound quality.

In the actual test, using Meav's "ONE I LOVE" song can actually allay worries very well, because the beginning of this song lip tooth sound and breath sound are more obvious, if it is an ordinary headphone, listen to such an open distance, you may not be able to hear these details, but with iFLYBUDS Air, those lip sound, tooth sound, breath sound, have a very good presentation.

Then tested with the song "Ferry", the prelude to the song has a low drum sound, iFLYBUDS Air to restore the bass is full enough, the sound of the shock and rebound are very powerful. And to the middle part of the voice, iFLYBUDS Air is also very pleasant, round, rich in the layers of the voice. Generally speaking, the expressive force of iFLYBUDS Air in sound quality is commendable.

In terms of noise reduction, iFLYBUDS Air supports AI call noise reduction, it can use AI call noise reduction algorithm, the use of powerful depth neural network algorithm, even in the unsteady noise scene, can also bring a better voice call experience.

CTOnews.com also tested this. During the call, Xiaobian simulated some white noise like a car whistle, and then recorded the call:

It can be heard that iFLYBUDS Air reduces the noise of the busy streets to a very low level, and the shrill sirens of cars need to be heard carefully, and the effect of noise reduction is still very good.

In addition, iFLYBUDS Air also has a very good feature, which is to support Bluetooth dual connection. It supports saving up to 5 paired devices, and can switch pairing with one button, only needs to be paired once, and can be used separately for both left and right ears.

And because Bluetooth 5.3 is supported, you can connect two devices at the same time. For example, the editor connects two mobile phones. When the left phone plays music, iFLYBUDS Air seamlessly switches to the left phone and plays. When the right phone plays video, FLYBUDS Air quickly switches to the right phone and plays. You can switch freely between the two devices in this way, which is very convenient.

For example, when you watch a video on one mobile phone and another phone calls, you pick up the phone and you can use iFLYBUDS Air to talk to the other person.

IFLYBUDS Air also has a unique game mode, which also impresses the editor. The delay of the machine will be reduced after it is turned on, which is very suitable for the scenario where the delay is very demanding. For example, when Xiaobian is playing chicken eating, turn on the game mode of iFLYBUDS Air, press the shooting button to hear the gunshot, and finally be able to achieve "sound and picture synchronization".

Finally, it is the continuation of the voyage, which is also of great concern to office workers. FLYBUDS Air office headphones are fully charged at a single time, supporting 15 hours of music, 12 hours of talking, and 7 hours of recording and transcription. When used with a charging box, it can support 40 hours of music.

As far as the editor's actual experience is concerned, in the past few days after getting the product, the editor basically maintained the use time of 3-4 hours a day when the charging box and headphones were fully charged. It took nearly a week, and there was no manual charge in the middle. So the continuation of the iFLYBUDS Air can make the editor satisfied.

In addition, iFLYBUDS Air provides two charging methods: the TWS charging box and the portable charging clip provided with the year-old package, which makes the charging mode more flexible. In this way, you can put a charging device in your home or office, and you don't need to carry a charger in your bag for your daily commute.

Conclusion as we said at the beginning, TWS real wireless headphones have become a Red Sea market, product homogenization is more serious, everyone is fighting for sound quality, noise reduction, and spatial audio over and over again. And this headset has opened up a new path for the real wireless headphone market, that is, office and productivity. They have verified that this path is feasible and has practical and extensive user needs through iFLYBUDS, iFLYBUDS Pro and other products. IFLYBUDS Air, on the basis of meeting the majority of office workplace users, further enriches everyone's choice.

At the same time, the iFLYTEK office headset iFLYBUDS Air will record, transfer, call noise reduction, battery life of these functions to do the actual experience is perfect, but also once again verified the profound strength of the future intelligence in technology and products.

For the future, the editor also looks forward to the follow-up they can bring more novel and practical products, bringing a new atmosphere to the increasingly stereotyped real wireless headset market.
