Recently, there are so many TWS earphones at the market. It is not easy to pick a good but budget earphones. Astrotec is one of the most famous earphone manufactures in China, and I got their latest product called astrotec Redspace S80 Earphones several days ago. Let’s check it out.
Unboxing:
The astrotec S80 Earphones ship with a charging case, a storage bag, eartips of different size, Type-C charging cable and manual.
Design:
Astrotec Redspace S80 Earbuds have a simple design without physical buttons. The solid support of the earphones is a little bigger than Xiaomi Redmi AirDots. As the earbuds are made of plastic, they are light, so my ear canal doesn’t feel pressure from eartips. Because of my small ears, I can feel the big solid supports obviously touching outer area of ears, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable. However, thanks to the big solid supports, the earbuds can firmly stay in my ears, even I shake my head. So I will swallow the big solid support.
The charging case of astrotec S80 earphones comes with a fabric box and aluminum lid. I do like the touch feeling of the fabric box. In terms of sealing, this charging case is better than the others, because the lid is a bit difficult to open. With an oval shape, it has a medium size that is easy to take it out.
The astrotec S80 earbuds come with virtual key, which is easy to operate. Like most of the TWS earphones, the S80 supports phone call mode, music mode and voice assistant wake-up. In terms of phone call mode, Quick touch 2 times means reject or hang up phone calls, one touch means answer phone call. In the music mode, touch the right/left earbud for 2s to skip track forward/backward when playing. Touch the right/left earbud 2 times to plus/minus volume. Just touch the earbud 3 times can arouse the voice assistant.
Running on Bluetooth 5.0, the S80 TWS Earphones has solid wireless connection in a range of around 30 feet.
Performance:
To check the performance of astrotec S80, we played a lot of songs with lyrics as well as complex music. It’s punchy in the low end, but is not enough to frighten my ears. The S80 doesn’t have the much powerful thumping effect. I think it is good, because the bass is not my priority.
If you like to listen to lyrical songs, you may like the astrotec S80 TWS Earphones. Vocals are clear, which deliver more details. However, it also has the same problem on the other budget earphones. In the high end, it has a minimum amount of distortion although the highs are pretty crisp. But for this price, I think it’s okay.
In terms of voice calling, the voice has a bit of distortion, and it is not as clear as using the phone speaker.
Battery:
The battery life of astrotec S80 Earbuds is about 5 hours, which can be used for about 25 hours with the charging case.
Conclusion:
The astrotec S80 TWS Earphones have a simple design and a beautiful charging case. The most important is that the S80 has a great sound quality. Although the quality of calling voice is not so good, the overall performance is great.
The S80 is priced at $99.99 at Hifigo now. If you are going to get earphones, astrotec S80 is a great option.
