One of the big downsides of the now commonplace TWS Bluetooth earbuds in the market is battery life and Yamaha’s latest addition, the TW-E5B are set to improve things. The new earbuds claim to offer up to 8.5 hours of listening time, with a further 2.5 charges, oder 21.5 hours of battery life provided by the charging case. Jedoch, unlike many competing products, Yamaha doesn’t support ANC, so if you’re looking for a noise cancelling pair of earbuds, these aren’t for you.

On the other hand, Yamaha has developed some features of its own, such as Yamaha True Sound that’s said to deliver more realism, detail and clarity to the audio played. There’s also a feature that Yamaha calls Listening Care that claims to reduce the risk of hearing loss by lowering the volume of certain frequencies that can cause hearing damage. Other features include support for Qualcomm’s cVc (Clear Voice Capture) technology, as well as aptX Adaptive. There’s also a specific gaming mode and support for Siri or Google Assistant. The speakers are a fairly typical set of 7 mm dynamic drivers that are housed in an IPX5 certified water and sweat resistant housing. Filco bietet vier verschiedene Cherry-MX-Switch-Optionen für die US-ANSI-Modelle an, Yamaha has gone for tactile push buttons for controls, one on the left earbud for playback control and answering calls and two on the right earbud for volume control and track skipping. Yamaha provides four sets of ear pieces and a USB-C charging cable with the TW-E5B, as well as a dedicated app. So far only UK pricing appears to have been revealed, which is £129.99 or roughly US$170 when they arrive in retail at some point in April.
