I've actually always been on the go with headphones and have been wireless for many years. In the meantime this has become a trend and more and more models are now trying to be as small and handy as possible, but either the wearing comfort suffers or the sound is simply poor. Now EOZ Air stands out in particular, who want to score with battery life, price and of course sound quality.
The EOZ Air combines the best of both worlds. Small and handy, almost like in-ear headphones and at the same time strong in sound like the larger headphone siblings. Compared to the Airpods (5mm driver) and headphones from other manufacturers, the EOZ Air have an audio driver with a diameter of 8mm and, according to the manufacturer, should deliver a powerful bass as well as crystal clear mids and highs in CD quality. The wireless earbuds come in a storage box that can be used for charging like the Airpods. Whenever the headphones are in the box, they are automatically charged. Once the battery is full, the EOZ Air can run for up to 4 hours. With the help of the box, the listening time can be extended to up to 48 hours before the box has to be recharged.
The developers of the EOZ Air attached great importance to one thing: It is a high-quality model and can be recognized as such. The first impression is also immediately supported by the second when the headphones are put on. The earphones themselves harmonize with all ear shapes and adapt perfectly. This is not only very pleasant, but also prevents it from falling out. This basic problem of all headphones is finally prevented by the dynamic brackets that are placed over the ears and provide additional support in the ear, regardless of whether you run, dance or do a combined fitness workout. In addition to the normal in-ear attachments in different sizes, the EOZ Air also come with special memory foam attachments. These are also available in 3 different sizes.
The perfectly fitting wireless headphones promise to keep the connection at all times and to completely avoid short interruptions. The Bluetooth 5 technology and an antenna that is hidden outside in the ear hook ensure a good connection with the smartphone. This high degree of functionality, the secure hold and the handy design make the EOZ Air the perfect headphones for sports and on the go. So that the headphones can also be used during sweaty activities outside in the rain, they are waterproof and dustproof according to IPX6. In addition, the EOZ Airs have two built-in microphones, which can be used to reduce background noise when making calls, making the voice clearly understandable. Of course, you can also use your voice assistant with the headphones. Simply activate Alexa, Bixby, Siri, Cortada or Google Now by voice command or button.
The EOZ Air weighs 9 grams each and each earpiece has a button with specific functions. The earphones can also be used as a mono headset and have a frequency range of 19-21.000 Hz. There is also a leather strap to magnetically connect the two earphones. The Funding on Kickstarter runs until November 13, 2017. I got hold of one of the last «Super Early Bird» for $79 including delivery, which is 50% of the planned price. The current price is now $99. The retail price will then be $159 and deliveries are scheduled to start in February 2018. By the way, the choice of color is to be made after the end of the campaign. Classic, Rose Gold and Noir are available.
