The rise of truly wireless earbuds, eliminating the need for any wires, is one of my favorite tech trends. These earbuds are rapidly evolving from a convenient option to a near-necessity, driven by the growing trend of flagship smartphones ditching the headphone jack. Apple’s AirPods arguably sparked this shift, prompting other manufacturers to follow suit and streamline phone designs.
We’re fortunate enough to get our hands on the JOYROOM JR-T04s Bluetooth 5.0 TWS Bilateral Wireless Earbuds. Here’s our full review on yet again, another amazing product from JOYROOM.
Straight out of the box, the JOYROOM JR-T04S TWS earbuds make a great first impression. They arrive in a sleek, glossy white polycarbonate charging case that houses a 500mAh battery, capable of conveniently charging the earbuds 11 times. The package also includes a micro USB charging cable and a user manual for your reference.
Design and Build Quality
From how it looks, most people’s initial reaction to the JOYROOM JR-T04S earbuds charging case is slightly identical to the Apple AirPods but if you look at it closely, the JOYROOM is slightly bigger than the latter, although they both have the same polycarbonate material. At the front, you will see the brand logo while at the back you will see the details of its battery capacity with 500mAh for the case and 45mAh for each earbuds. If you do the math, you can charge the earbuds for up to 11 times. Below the case, you’ll see the micro-USB charging port and the battery LED light indicator.
Each earbud, both left and right, features a dedicated pairing button with an LED indicator. The design, particularly the long microphone stem, bears a resemblance to Apple’s AirPods.
Speakers and Sound Quality
The JOYROOM JR-T04S punches above its weight in terms of audio quality, rivaling most entry-level wired HiFi earbuds. This is particularly noteworthy considering the earbuds’ affordable price. It’s important to remember that wired connections generally offer less noise than wireless transmission, which is why some users prefer wired earphones.
Another factor why it sounds really good is its use of a large 13mm dynamic driver that is bigger than most 10mm drivers found on in-ear monitors.
While some of the similarly priced wireless earphones may have a bigger bass response, they are not as clean as this, and the sound quality is not that overpowering.
For their price, the JOYROOM JR-T04S earbuds rank among the market’s best in terms of sound quality. They even rival the audio performance of some pricier TWS options.
Features
JOYROOM JR-T04S is very easy to use, and the pairing of the device is very easy and fast. All you need to do is to remove the earbuds from the case and then connect via Bluetooth.
One feature I like about this device is that you can use it even if you don’t use the other piece. Since either piece can work as your main buds. This is perfect when you are working and you still need to be aware of your surroundings. Just wait for the white and orange LED light to blink.
Once paired with your device, connecting it back is effortless. All you need to do is to remove it from the case and it will automatically connect to your paired device.
It also has the new Bluetooth 5.0 standard with good latency and stability. Audio lag rarely happens even if I’m a bit far from my source device. If you are under 10 feet from the source, it can pass through walls as well.
The functions of the single button include: double click L/R to use voice assistants like Siri and Google, long-press L/R to refuse calls, short press L/R to answer or hang up calls, short press L/R to play and pause music, long-press L for the previous song, and long-press R for the next song.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t have a sensor to stop the audio when you remove the earpiece from your ears. There is no volume control on the earpiece as well.
Battery Life
JOYROOM JR-T04S has 45mAh LiPol batteries per piece while the case has 500mAh. True to its promise, the earbuds can last for up to 3 hours per charge. The charging time per earbuds is 2 hours while the case can be charged using a 5V/1A charger for 3.5 hours.
Verdict
It’s rare to find truly wireless earbuds in today’s market that are as budget-friendly as the JOYROOM JR-T04S. Fortunately, Digital Walker has filled this gap by offering these high-quality earphones at an accessible price point, making them a compelling option for value-conscious consumers.
