Review on NuForce BE FREE6: The Ultimate Truly Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds for Audio Enthusiasts 🎧 - Up to 24h Battery, Bluetooth 5.0, Sweat Proof, Dual Audio Mode, Extra Bass by Anita Simnioniw

I've been using them intermittently for the past 7 months and I've kind of liked them. However, to describe them as "audiophile quality" or "for sound lovers" seems to be an exaggeration, especially since sound is very subjective and the range of "audiophile" products is very wide. Moondrop Starfields from either my iPhone or dongle or 789 when I'm at home. I personally find the Free6 more V-shaped (more bass and treble) than the Starfields, without the resolution or instrument separation that the Starfields offer. This isn't a surprise and can be okay if you like a more bass-heavy sound signature. Of course, that doesn't do any good either. The soundstage is very narrow, which contributes to the lack of resolution. The picture is pretty bad too, more like a blob than a clear direction like star fields. I'm not sure why they advertise the drivers as a premium feature as I've heard a drop in resolution between Starfields and Free6 when listening to Spotify in high quality and the same goes for my FLAC files. All in all, it's like real WiFi for the average consumer, which means it will be enough for most people. But those with more discerning ears should definitely look elsewhere. Connectivity is only so-so compared to some other Bluetooth 5.0 devices I've tried (without audio) in terms of distance from the source and obstacles between the source and the headphones. I've had occasional stutters in the connection even when close to the source, but it's not often enough that it really bothers me. Of course I have separate day riders, but if this was my only pair of headphones/earphones I would be very annoyed. Although the battery was fine. I only charge it once a month and use it maybe a few hours a week, so the case's standby time is pretty good. The included USB-A to USB-C cable is very short, around 15cm long, so not very practical. I had the buttons a bit firmer as I prefer to plug my headphones in and it just plays or pauses them while I plug them in and it's really annoying. The weight is normal but could be less. Since they only snag with interchangeable earbuds by pinching the rubber or foam, the weight can be a bit uncomfortable during longer listening sessions. Water resistance seems ok. I've tried them in the hot tub a few times and they've worked well during and after with no new problems. I've heard that the TaoTronics SoundLiberty 79 is better for the same price and offers a similar "funny" sound signature with slightly better resolution quality. for my own pleasure. The comparison to Starfields was pretty unfair considering the price, but if they claim audiophile quality then I'm using audiophile products and a point of reference. No wonder the 1990s smashed Free6s in every category, even bass, despite the "extra bass" Free6s claimed to have. The weird difference in resolution, separation and image really showed how different these products are. Of course, you shouldn't be using the 1990s on the go, nor should you be looking for benchmark sound quality on Free6.
