Sudio Elva and Sudio Fly G Review - Your smart travelling companion

Lifestyle 9/10/2020

Sudio is about to release their latest Sudio Elva neckband wireless earphones! If you haven't already heard of them, Sudio Elva comes packaged with Sudio Fly G, a travel audio transmitter adaptor, which allows you to connect any of your Bluetooth earphones, to a non Bluetooth device with at least a 3.5mm earphone jack, especially so, when you are on a plane.

How cool does it sound? Speaking of which, most of us are now stuck at home and have to shelf our travelling plans. So, I will base this review on my home trial, using them for/while at work and during my leisure music listening activities.

Click on my youtube video for the unboxing of this new earphone, or read on as I share more about them!

First Impressions

As always, I like their sleek packaging, coming in a drawer box, with everything nicely and neatly packaged in them, so that allows me to stow everything away nicely.

The actual earphones however, appears to be too chunky for my liking, mostly due to their dangling neckband wires. Sudio had long deserted their wires in their earphones and gone true wireless, so I was rather surprised, and taken aback, to see these dangling wires making a comeback. I also spotted these cute small magnetic nodes which helped keep both my earphones together, which can be helpful if you're hanging them over your neck.

Revealing the contents within the Sudio drawer box. They have also gifted me a Sudio cardholder along with these PR earphones.

Revealing the contents within the Sudio drawer box, underneath the earphones, spot Sudio Fly G.

This makes keeping the earphones quite a hassle as well, since the only place I could now keep them was back in the box or leave them hanging somewhere on my work desk.

It's strong U shaped wires on the other hand, makes hanging these earphones around my neck comfortable and hanging on hard surfaces possible. My husband who tried it on the other hand, found it too heavy and didn't like the feel of these earphones.

Highlights:

♪ Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)
♪ Bluetooth Flight Adapter (inclusive in package)
♪ IPX5 water protection (Splash/rain/sweat proof)
♪ Voice Assistance
♪ Nintendo Switch gaming compatible

Pairing on my iPhone & working laptop was a seamless affair with auto pairing function, and since it comes with ANC (which can be activated or deactivated by pressing on the middle button quickly twice), it kept me away from unnecessary distractions, so that I could fully concentrate on my work.

Having to walk away from my music source occasionally, did not deterred my music from playing as well due to 10m Bluetooth range. I could walk around the house without having to be near my music source. Do note that activating the ANC would also increase the volume of your music slightly.

I love the music and is happy with the sound quality from these Sudio Elva earphones. I use them mostly when I watch my Chinese drama, when I am away from work, or to play some soothing songs on youtube, while I am working on my desk.

I feel that the Sudio Elva is a good companion for jogs and other light exercises in the park or gym as well since the U shape neckband allows you to anchor the neckband earphones comfortably on your neck as you exercise.

This is also particularly good for those whom are seeking for a wireless earphone but afraid of sudden fall outs, or to lose their earbuds while they are engrossed with their activities.

Sudio Elva can be detached to charge. It doesn't have the regular charging ports at the sides.

Specifications:
♪ Playtime: 11 hours of play time for music, 10 hours with ANC & with music
♪ Battery Life: 15mins quick charge for 1 hour of playtime
♪ Bluetooth version: 5.0
♪ Bluetooth Range: 10m
♪ USB-C type wiring cables

With 5 additional pairs of earbuds in place, I'm sure you'll find the perfect fit. Sizes ranged from XXS to L. Using the perfectly fitted earbuds ensures perfect noise cancellation and comfort for your ears.

I was gifted with the black Sudio Elva, along with the cardholder for the purpose of this review.

What's included in the pack:

♪ Elva earbuds with 6 pairs of sleeves (Including the existing one on the earbuds)
♪ Owner’s Manual
♪ Charging Cable
♪ 12 months international warranty for purchases from official website. + 6 months if registered with Sudio Sphere

* Join Sudio sphere at sudio.com/sphere to receive an extended warranty to 18 months.

At this moment if you are wondering about when you can be using Fly G, and under what scenario you'll be using them, read on.

The purpose of Sudio Fly G (a travel audio transmitter adaptor with 2 3.5mm earphone jack) allows you to connect a non Bluetooth music device with at least a 3.5mm jack, to any wireless headphones. It has a battery life on its own, and requires to be charged using a USB-C type cable (included in the pack). Do note that it doesn't charge any of your devices.

Please be reminded to fully charge them before you use them to ensure that you get to use them up to an optimum 12 hours. This is sufficient for most flights around the region, more than the length of a typical 2-3 hour movie.

Sudio Fly G
♪ Bluetooth version: 5.0

♪ Bluetooth Range: 10m

♪ Battery Life: up to 12 hours (2 hrs charging time)

♪ USB-C type wiring cables

It is quite easy to pair Sudio Fly G to my Sudio Elva after learning the steps to do it, and understanding about the device. You can basically pair your wireless headphones to Sudio Fly G, then plug Fly G to your source (with at least a 3.5mm audio jack) and you are ready to use them. This works for most, if not all in-flight, laptops, media devices, gym machines, home/hotel TV as well.

Sudio Fly G is great for pairing these older devices, or in places where they are unable to have Bluetooth enabled devices due to certain restrictions, you'll find this travel audio transmitter adaptor really handy.

In summary, although Sudio Elva and Sudio Fly G are packaged together, they can be used separately if desired. Sudio Elva is great for both indoor and outdoor use and has a comfortable neckband who doesn't mind it's dangling wires. Sudio Fly G on the other hand, allows you to be connected via Bluetooth to your music devices which do not have inbuild Bluetooth technology in them but has a 3.5mm earphone jack. Both are great and since they are packaged together, why not give them both a try if your budget allows.

Sudio Elva & Sudio Fly G, is launching on September 14. You are encouraged to purchase this set from the official Sudio website and when you do, enter "wireless15" for 15% off your set. This discount code is also available on all other products on their site regardless in Singapore or worldwide.

Sudio ETT Review - Sudio's first wireless earphones with ANC and wireless charging

Lifestyle 5/27/2020

Working from home? Take note as this could be your new favorite if you are considering to upgrade your current earphones. With home-based learning, back to back work call meetings and even exercising moving to home, this gadget helps you stay safe, but feel connected.

The all new Sudio ETT in classic black, with Active Noise Cancelling (ANC), wireless charging capabilities and up to 30 hours of long battery life, helps you keep out all the unwanted noise from babies crying, nagging partners, television program playing out of your working room, and shuts out part of the noise from the airplane flying pass you.

At first glance, I'm in love with its sleek, petite casing which can stand on it own, when placed on my work desk. The casing double up as a charging case and have a magnetic soft closing, allowing easy retrieval of your swanking new earbuds, keeping them dust free and easy to bring along, wherever you go.

Here's a guide on the controls,

Music Controls:
To play/pause : Press the button once
For next song: Press the right button 2 times

For the previous song: Press the left button 3 times

I am happy that they re-introduced back the press buttons instead of the tap buttons, which made navigating through songs a breeze. I loved the sound effects even when I played my mobile games. The sounds of regular musical instruments also sounded perfect, so no complains.

Phone Controls:
To answer call: Press the right button 1 time
To reject call: Press and hold the right button for 2 seconds

Highlights:

♪ Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)
♪ IPX5 water protection (Splash/rain/sweat proof)
♪ Dual-microphone with transparency mode activated during your phone calls for an enhanced sound quality
♪ Multi-function button for better controls

♪ Automatic pairing of earbuds, connects directly with your phone

Automatic pairing was a breeze, and easy be it on my laptop, ipad or with my mobile phone. I did not have to struggle with the pairing. Its battery life was good as it last me for quite a few days with on-off usage, without me having to recharge it.

Specifications:
♪ Playtime: 6 hours of play time, 4 hours with ANC
♪ Battery Life: up to 30 hours of battery life, 4 extra charges with its carrying case, 15mins for 1 hour of playtime
♪ Bluetooth version: 5.0
♪ Wireless Charging: YES, quick charge with USB-C, 90 minutes to full charge
♪ Range: 10m
♪ Weight: 5g per earbud
♪ Siri & Google assistant compatible

With the 10m range, I can walk away from my music source, going around the house if I need to, and not risking to have my music cut off. I even tried wearing them on while doing my yoga poses and they worked just fine. No interruptions and to my surprise, they didn't drop out as well.

With 7 additional pairs of earbuds in place, I'm sure you'll find the perfect fit. The additional earbuds are also good if you are sharing this gadget with your family members. I'm good with their default size as it sits snugly on my ears.

I liked how neatly they had packed the earbuds allowing for easy retrieval and choosing compared to being packed loosely. Sudio can perhaps consider selling these earbuds so that users can mix and match the colors or replace their worn out earbuds if there is a market for these.

I am also appreciative that this time, Sudio had included a separate Owner's Guide for its controls & specifications where we can refer to easily. This is very helpful for new Sudio users, for myself I am quite seasoned to their controls.

Sudio ETT comes with four colours:

♪ Black, White, Green, Pink.

What's included in the pack:

♪ ETT earbuds with X pairs of sleeves (Including the existing one on the earbuds)
♪ Owner’s Manual
♪ Portable Charging Case
♪ Charging Cable
♪ 18 months international warranty for purchases from official website.

* Join Sudio sphere at sudio.com/sphere to receive an extended warranty to 18 months.

Sudio Ett is retailing at $239 SGD with free doorstep home delivery worldwide. You are encouraged to purchase this set from the official Sudio website and when you do, enter "15pearlywerkz" for 15% off your set. Get a free Sudio tote bag with every purchase.

Sudio Fem Review - Where Elegance meets premium sound quality with touch controls

Lifestyle 3/06/2020

Sudio is at it again as they recently launched Sudio Fem, their latest wireless earbuds.
What comes as a surprise to many, instead of coming out with a slimmer, more portable and lighter earbud and casing compared to its predecessor the Tolv, it doesn't seem to be the case.

Sudio Fem somewhat feels more comparable to Niva as both were stored in a similar round casing. It's specs are also backward, as it has a shorter battery life, are a set of slightly heavier, bulkier earbuds and have a heavier casing compared to Sudio Tolv. Not that it matters to me since most of the time the buds are on my ears and its casing just lying somewhere in my handbag or work desk.

A notable striking difference would be the controls and design of the earbuds. Instead of a pressing motion, you notice that there are no longer buttons for you to press. This had been replaced by a futuristic touch sensor control which may be an improvement for many. I prefer to control the volume and play tracks from my music source, as it still requires some effort to remember the controls, otherwise my smart SIRI assitant can also help.

When I adjust my earbuds, my sensitive touch may tend to stop music from playing, this can be a little annoying. Perhaps Sudio can program a way where we can lock the controls on the earbuds so that we do not accidently register unwanted taps. The quick workaround is simply to hold the top and pointed areas when adjusting the buds on your ears instead of holding the center touch pads.

Automatic pairing on the other hand, seem to be quite seamless and easy via Bluetooth, be it to my mobile phone or laptop. It also replaces its charging cords with the USB-C quick charging type cables in a similar colour as it's earbuds.

What is weird though is that the battery case indicator is located within the casing, which means that you have to open the casing to check the battery indication. It would be better if this is located outside the case instead.

I did a quick search around their webstore, and I am unable to find any traces of Sudio Niva, which perhaps suggest that Sudio Fem might be an improved and replacement version of the now discontinued set. Priced at $219SGD, it also appears to be the most expensive pair of wireless earbud within the web store.

Here's a guide on the controls,

Music Controls:
To play/pause : Press the button once
For next song: Press the right button 2 times
For the previous song: Press the left button 2 times

Increase/Decrease Volume: Press right earbud 3 times to increase volume , left earbud 3times to decrease volume

To connect to Siri/Google Assistant: Hold for 1 sec
To off: Hold for 6 secs

It takes a while to familiarize myself with the controls as tapping seems to be less accurate compared to pressing as you can skip a count.

Phone Controls:
To answer call: Press the right button 1 time
To reject call: Press and hold the right button for 2 seconds

Highlights:
♪ Real clear voice: 4 environmental noise-canceling microphones
♪ IPX5 (Splash/rain/sweat proof)
♪ Touch controls on earbuds
♪ Individual earbuds, automatic pairing, connects directly with your phone

I do love the clarity of my sentimental and instrumental songs when played on the earbuds, and the noise cancelling feature as it keeps out surrounding noise especially when I commute. I am not too fussy when it comes to my earbuds so long as they don't sound too flat when the music is played.

Specifications:

♪ Playtime: up to 20 hours of battery life, 6 hours in a single charge
♪ Bluetooth version: 5.0
♪ Range: 10m
♪ Weight: 5.5g per earbud
♪ Siri & Google assistant compatible
♪ Sound signature: Graphene driver for great music
♪ Quick charging with USB-C

Charging is relatively fast within 15 minutes, and it can last me throughout the day (when used in intervals) be it outdoors or indoors.

Sudio Fem comes with four colours:

♪ Black, White, Classic Blue, Pink.

I've gotten mine in pink! I absolutely adore their pastel pink when I had my Sudio Tolv, so i decided on pink again. Sudio should look into having more colours added to their collection, especially pastel shades, or even dual, triple colours. It would be good if we are able to personalize the earbuds or/and casing with our names in future too.

What's included in the pack:

♪ Fem earbuds with 5 pairs of sleeves (Including the exisiting one on the earbuds)
♪ Owner’s Manual
♪ Portable Charging Case
♪ Charging Cable
♪ 18 months international warranty for purchases from official website.

The default set of earbuds fits snuggly on my ears and are comfortable to wear. They do not feel loose or hanging and effectively keeps unwanted noises out. I can also move at ease and not be afraid that they may suddenly fall off due to my movements.

Sudio Fem is retailing at $219 SGD with free shipping worldwide. You are encouraged to purchase this set from the official Sudio website and when you do, enter "pearlywerkz15" for 15% off your set. Get a free Sudio crossbody pouch and free gift wrapping for purchases. (While stock and promotion last). Mine came with the chinese new year red wrapper.

I love the crossbody pouch too! Although its quite small to fit anything else, I can carry loose items in them. These are nice, and fashionable touch I feel.

Product Review: Sudio Tre in Classic Blue the perfect gift for the active one

earphone 11/22/2017

If you lead an active and healthy lifestyle, go for your regular jogs, walks and exercises and is looking for the perfect companion, I have something suitable for you.

Sudio Tre is designed for the active YOU and I who loves exercising with your earphones on. Exercising is no longer a boring affair especially at times when you have to do it alone. This earphone is sweat and water resistant, so run as far as you can go, as you don't have to worry about getting your perspiration all over.

Are you worried about dropping your earphone due to the uncomfortable fit from standard sized ear buds? Sudio got this! Sudio Tre has custom wing-tips catered for the maximum secure fit. This is very unique as I've yet to see something similar in the market. You get to choose from the 3 wing tips provided to get yourself a perfect fit. It fits nicely and sits comfortably within your ears and doesn't comes off easily unlike the usual earphones.

Having said that, do still be aware of your surroundings and make sure you snug your earphones properly so that they will still be hanging on your ears and across your necks after your run. Running a marathon with Sudio Tre is also not a problem as long as you finish your race within 9 hours, because that is the approximate battery life you will get for a full charge of 120 minutes.

Battery time: 9 hours (active), 10 days (standby)
Charging time: 10 minutes (quick), 120 minutes (full)

Note: This is an hour longer than their previous range of Sudio Vasa Blå which is already very impressive, as it gives you 8 hours of listening time.

If you are running, listening to some relaxing music or chatting with a friend, no worries too, as Sudio Tre gives you full sound transparency with a well-balanced and even listening experience. This means that you can still listen to your favourite music, listen to your friend calling out to you and keeping in touch. It doesn't block you off with the outside world. The sound quality is amazing and I love how they lifted my mood during my runs.

Other features of Sudio Tre includes its exceptional mic clarity, which allows you to chit chat with your friends and loved ones over the phone, sing on Smule and it also operates via the Siri voice control.

Sudio Tre weighs only 35g, which is slightly heavier than Sudio Vasa Blå at 14g due to its sturdy structure, operates under Bluetooth 4.1 and is compatible with all iPhones and Android devices. Be connected within 15 meters range
