These futuristic TWS earbuds have the most impressive feature that no other earbud has…
Its Cyberpunk-ish appeal aside, the CYBERBLADE TWS Earbuds from Angry Miao are pretty impressive as audio devices overall… but one feature stands out as perhaps the most brilliant brainwave ever. The earbuds sit in a case that itself is a control device for your audio. Rather than just being a boring plastic cover that charges your buds, CYBERBLADE’s charging case is shaped like a large volume knob, and it functions as one too. With a rotary dial for a lid (that you can also press like a button), the CYBERBLADE uplifts the TWS experience altogether, showing that great ideas and great execution can really propel a seemingly mundane product forward.

Established in 2019, Angry Miao developed a reputation for making some incredibly cutting-edge mechanical keyboards including one of the most impressive ergonomic split keyboards we’ve ever seen. With the CYBERBLADE, the company shows that it has an abundance of great ideas for innovative products. The CYBERBLADE is a pair of TWS Earbuds designed for daily life and gaming, with a unique triple SoC design that reduces latency and provides impeccable audio clarity. It also helps that the earbuds and the case look positively dope, with an eye-catching metallic finish and geometric design that falls well within the Cyberpunk theme that everyone’s a fan of nowadays (gamers especially).
Envisioned as a Desktop TWS audio solution, the CYBERBLADE offers impressively ultra-low latency (36ms) in its tiny package in ASE (Active Sound Enhancement) mode. The wireless earphones sit within their tabletop case, which also doubles as a volume control interface mode switching. The earphones themselves look absolutely bleeding-edge, with a design that Angry Miao claims was inspired by Focus, from Horizon Zero Dawn. They’re triangular shaped, with a single LED strip cutting across the center, giving the earbuds a distinct aesthetic that you can appreciate in the light as well as in the dark. Multiple silicone and memory foam ear tip options ensure a snug fit for a wide range of users, and the RGB lighting on the earbuds as well as the charging case/dock are both customizable, making the CYBERBLADE heaven-sent for gaming enthusiasts!
The CYBERBLADE is one of the first and only earbuds to come with three separate SoCs – one for each earbud and one in the case. Together, they handle audio delivery, giving the CYBERBLADE its staggeringly low 36ms latency that makes it perfect for gaming and even occasional music production (with 3 booster modes designed for various scenarios). It helps that the CYBERBLADE also has its own independent DSP (digital signal processor) and runs on Bluetooth 5.2 for seamless, stutter-less connection. The earbuds come with Hybrid ANC and AI-enabled ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation) too, giving you up to 35Db of noise attenuation to drown out sounds around you for immersive gaming/listening. There’s even a transparency mode for when you want to listen to the world around you, powered by an array of 6 microphones inside the earbuds that work in tandem.
Now that we’ve got the TWS earbuds out of the way, let’s focus on what’s easily CYBERBLADE’s pièce de résistance, the case and dock. Designed to sit on your tabletop like an audio control interface, the CYBERBLADE’s charging case/dock also doubles up as a massive tactile volume control knob with a programmable click feature. This is perhaps a major deviation from how TWS earbud cases are designed because most cases don’t have any functionality beyond charging. Given that it sits on your desk instead of perpetually in your pocket, Angry Miao made the rather clever decision to turn the dock/case into something that’s much more capable on its own. The case, a cylindrical puck, rests within an angled dock that lets you connect your CYBERBLADE to a power source or device via USB-C. A massive knurled knob on the case rotates 360° to give you precise audio control, and the knob can be pressed too, working as its own independent interface for audio control.
The CYBERBLADE was calibrated for a variety of use cases beyond just desktop gaming. Sure, it works rather spectacularly with the desktop, but things don’t quite stop there. The TWS Earbuds also support a whole slew of other devices including the Switch, Steam Deck, iPad, Smart TV, and can even directly connect to your PS4 and PS5 via USB to become their main audio output. Even beyond gaming, the CYBERBLADE works rather well for movie playback (with Angry Miao’s proprietary spatial audio feature) and music playback, thanks to studio-level EQ settings, DRC, and AGC algorithms, and audio-fine tuning by music industry veterans. A hip-hop fan? There’s also an upcoming Hip-Hop Booster mode developed in collaboration with Hip-Hop Artist Rich Brian that will be available soon through a future OTA update.
The earbuds start at $299 (discounted for early bird backers) and ship with the charging case, dock, USB-C cable, and multiple memory foam and liquid silicone ear-tips for customizable comfort. There’s even a bundled app for toggling features, customizing RGB lighting, selecting your own EQ, and checking battery levels. The CYBERBLADE offers up to 6 hours of listening time with ANC and RGB lighting enabled in Bluetooth mode… extendable up to 24 hours when combined with the charging case.

Realme Buds Air 3 earbuds offer real active noise cancellation and true wireless stereo
Realme is one brand that is quickly establishing a name in the mobile industry. It may not be number one yet but we believe the OPPO sub-brand will soon cement its significant place in the mobile industry. It will not just come up with new and powerful smartphones but also wearable devices.
Realme is more known for its Android phones. The latest of which is the Realme GT2 PRO which is said to be one bold step towards more sustainable phones. New smartphones abound especially at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) but we’re also welcoming this new pair of Realme Buds.
Designer: Realme
The Realme Buds Air 3 is a pair of True Wireless Stereo earbuds. It’s the first TWS earbuds pair in the world that’s been certified with TÜV Rheinland High-Performance Noise Cancellation. TÜV Rheinland rating is more known for TVs but it also checks on active noise cancellation. The company has mentioned the 42dB ANC certification so you can be assured of a premium listening experience.
Realme’s Buds Air lineup is the Chinese company’s flagship offering of earbuds. Premium sound quality is often promised by manufacturers but not every model released comes with active noise cancellation. Others focus on keeping the prices down but have forgotten to improve quality.
One doesn’t need to be an audiophile to know if sound quality is good or not. If you wear the Realme Buds Air 3, you will know the difference. Don’t be fooled by the buds’ stylish appearance. The pair’s sellability goes beyond its aesthetics. The sound quality it offers is something that can match those from the more expensive and established brands.
Active noise cancellation by 42dB is significant and it’s made possible by an advanced R3 chip plus several noise cancellation algorithms proven to be effective. There’s also the smart de-wind design (anti-wind) that allows a comfortable listening experience no matter what the surrounding condition is. Other features include built-in microphones plus an aerodynamic internal structure, a 10mm driver, and a liquid crystal polymer composite.
There’s also a 546mAh battery that is enough to offer 30 hours of audio playback. If the pair runs out of battery, a ten-minute charge will give extra 100 minutes of usage. Expect the earbuds to deliver rich sound and deeper bass. Like most top earbuds out in the market, this pair follows AAC audio distribution standards.
The earbuds come in a charging case that is shaped like a pebble and looks a bit smaller and slimmer too. Its design is actually similar to the previous model you may probably not notice the difference. The pair still comes with an in-ear design but is more stable and offers a better fit.

This Nintendo Switch Lite bluetooth adapter lets you connect AirPods to your console
Designed as a sleeker upgrade to Genki’s Bluetooth adapter from 2018, the Genki Audio Lite is a tiny, plug-and-play Bluetooth module that fits right into your Nintendo Switch Lite, allowing you to connect Bluetooth earphones and speakers to your gaming console.
Giving the Nintendo Switch Lite wireless Bluetooth connectivity doesn’t just upgrade the console, it makes sense. The Switch Lite was designed to provide a lighter, less unencumbered gaming experience than the Switch, so providing an aux input literally feels like being bound by a chain… or a wire, to be specific. The Genki Audio Lite’s tiny size adds a great deal of functionality to the already capable device. You can now use your TWS earphones, AirPods, or even the AirPods Max with it, allowing for a portable, private gaming session. The Genki Audio Lite comes with Bluetooth 5.0 and is equipped with aptX
high fidelity low latency codecs that provide lag-free audio while you game. Although it is as much as 70% slimmer than its predecessor, it does give your Switch Lite a tiny little chin, which is why Genki even has a custom dual magnetic flip case called the Force Field that allows you to keep your Switch Lite protected while the Audio Lite is plugged in.

These TWS Earphones are solving the tech waste crisis with removable replaceable batteries
Watch any AirPods teardown video and there’s one thing you’ll quickly notice. There’s no way you can put it back together once you’ve disassembled it. The damned things are hermetically sealed shut, and opening them means damaging them. In fact, Apple doesn’t even fix AirPods that come to them for servicing. The design is so notoriously un-fixable that it’s actually cheaper for Apple to replace them with a new pair.
Now that problem isn’t unique to Apple. Almost every single TWS earphone faces the same issue. Designed to be small, these earphones have absolutely tiny batteries that don’t last beyond a year, and their small bodies/components are almost always fused/glued together with no intention of ever being separated for repair or even recycling. The result is an overwhelming wave of tiny electronics that can’t be reused and can’t be disassembled and disposed of safely. They’re made of metal and plastic, which won’t biodegrade, and even contain toxic lithium-ion batteries within them.
To overcome this problem, the NOVO TWS earphones have a unique and clever compromise. Microphones, speaker drivers, and SOCs (system on chips) are usually designed to last 4-5 years, whereas those batteries go dead within a year or 18 months. The NOVO earbuds just turn the batteries into a modular unit that can easily be replaced… a feature you’d see in old mobile phones before they began becoming sealed, unibody devices. Unlike phones, however, these battery modules are designed to sit on the outside, and come in a variety of colors with ornamental patterns, adding a fashionable flair to the earphones. Every few years when the batteries wear out, you can simply switch the modules for new ones, choosing from a variety of colors and textures to ‘upgrade’ your earbuds. The old batteries get swapped in at the company which provides a discount on the new batteries, closing the loop and creating a circular economy where batteries are recycled and perfectly capable tech doesn’t enter a landfill because one single part was designed to go prematurely obsolete.

Apple should have made Beats truly wireless earphones really long back…
Remember Beats by Dre? Apple acquired them in 2014 and it’s been radio silence ever since. Apple did however launch a few Beats products just to keep the buzz going, but nothing really matched up to the excitement around the AirPods. Now I’m not really sure whether Apple bought Beats to throttle their success (so the AirPods wouldn’t have any competition), or whether they bought Beats just because they saw it as a nice brand to own, but it’s safe to assume that the Beats brand isn’t once what it used to be. Lew from Unbox Therapy even has a theory that Apple’s slowly phasing the brand out completely.
In an alternate universe where Apple wasn’t so anti-competitive, these Beats miniPods would surely be a popular hit. Modeled to look sort of like the Google Pixel Buds, the Beats miniPods are the conceptual creation of 14-year old Nicola Morelli who found herself with extra time on her hands during the lockdown. The TWS earbuds come with the iconic Beats logo on them, and fit snugly into the ear using silicone tips. I assume the driver technology on the inside would match up to the Beats standards, and have some form of noise-canceling too, but that’s something we can only dream of at this point of time. The miniPods, however, do come with touch-sensitivity, allowing you to tap to answer and reject calls, control playback, and adjust the volume. Like all TWS earbuds, the miniPods have their own nifty charging-case too, and this one even boasts of a clear-top design that allows you to see the earbuds when they’re inside the case. Pretty nice, eh? If I was only half as talented when I was a 14-year old.
