Full access to features requires an Android 6.0 or newer device with Google Play Service enabled and Google Account. Battery life depends on device settings, environment, usage, and many other factors.ģ One-touch pairing requires iOS 14.6 or later.Ĥ Fast Pair requires location enabled. With Active Noise Cancellation turned on, listening time was up to 5 hours. Testing consisted of full Beats Studio Buds battery discharge while playing audio until the first Beats Studio Buds stopped playback. Volume was set to 50% and Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency were turned off. All this is hidden under the outer rubber/pvc coating. It looks like there is no insualtion but there is a thin layer of enamel over the bare wire (usually slightly colour coded). ![]() The playlist consisted of 358 unique audio tracks purchased from the iTunes Store (256-Kbps AAC encoding). Yes its possible but the mass produced thin wire that comes with most of the lower priced headphones is enamel coated which can be a bit tricky. Not all content available in Dolby Atmos.Ģ Testing conducted by Apple in April 2021 using preproduction Beats Studio Buds and Charging Case units and software paired with iPhone 11 Pro Max units and prerelease software. Works with compatible content in supported apps. We’d sooner go with either alternative product TuneClip isn’t bad, but even by cord management standards, it’s not great, either.1 Compatible hardware and software required. True, it’s more compact than Audio Outfitters’ EarPod, but also doesn’t protect your earbuds, and as cord managers go it is less universally practical than just using a SmartWrap, and twice as expensive. But it’s not the most practical option we’ve seen, by far. Overall, TuneClip does an acceptable job of what it’s supposed to do – you can wind a cord around it. At best, the TuneClip might be attached to the top of a pants pocket when you’re walking, but even then it seems like a bit of an unnecessary attachment given that the SmartWrap achieves the same end far less conspicuously. As Tunewear’s decision not to sell these clothes in the United States suggests, Japanese and Western fashion sensibilities are a bit different from one another, and attached clothes aside, it’s really hard to picture anyone here wanting to wear the TuneClip anywhere on a shirt, let alone up high. Tunewear’s first use of the TuneClip was actually on a series of Japan-only iPod clothes we’ve previously previewed, where clips were permanently mounted off to the right hand sides of the wearers’ necks. Tunewear also notes that you can optionally attach its PopTunes stickers to the front face of TuneClip if you desire. We say perhaps because the permanent clip design makes it sort of unlikely that you’d actually use it for such a purpose. ![]() One of two holes on the back half of the spool locks your headphone cable in place, and the other can be used – perhaps – with thicker, non-headphone cables, and left on a table or other flat surface. Each includes a small, detachable ball bearing-based chain so, as Tunewear explains, you can attach TuneClip to a key ring or cell phone strap.Īs far as the iPod is concerned, the idea is that you wrap your earphone cord around the spool, attach the spool to your shirt, and walk around with the spool wherever you go. ![]() ![]() The TuneClip is a small clear hard plastic spool with a small matching clip on its rear and though we have two in our photographs, you get only one per package. Here, we look at Tunewear’s TuneClip ($9.95), and separately look at BlueLounge’s cableyoyo (decapitalization theirs) in another review. But Sumajin’s SmartWrap (iLounge rating: B) was a notably good exception to this rule, and two somewhat similar accessories we’ve looked at are also worthy of brief mentions. In all honesty, we could take or leave most of the cord management accessories we’ve seen: the idea of accessories for accessories has never really appealed that much to us.
