Buds B168 Review: Hifi Sound & 42dB Noise Cancellation – Worth the Hype?

After weeks of testing the Buds B168, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review. These earbuds promise high-fidelity audio with Dirac Opteo, ultra bass, impressive noise cancellation, and extended battery life. But do they deliver on these promises? Let’s dive in.

The Buds B168 boasts a compelling list of features, including Dirac Opteo sound processing for enhanced audio quality, up to 42dB of noise cancellation for a truly immersive listening experience, and a claimed battery life exceeding 24 hours. Dual connection support allows seamless switching between devices. The comfortable in-ear design and multiple ear tip sizes ensure a secure and personalized fit.

Sound quality is impressive. The bass is deep and punchy without overpowering the mids and highs. Dirac Opteo truly makes a difference, providing clarity and detail that I wasn’t expecting at this price point. The noise cancellation is effective at blocking out ambient noise, particularly low-frequency sounds like airplane engine hum. Call quality is also excellent, with clear audio on both ends, even in noisy environments. Battery life lived up to expectations, easily lasting over a day on a single charge with moderate use, and the charging case provides additional power for several more days of listening.

However, there were some minor downsides. At maximum volume, a slight distortion was noticeable. Also, the touch controls, while responsive, could be a bit more intuitive. A few accidental taps resulted in unintended actions.

Pros:

  • Excellent sound quality with deep bass and clear highs thanks to Dirac Opteo.
  • Effective noise cancellation up to 42dB.
  • Long battery life (over 24 hours).
  • Comfortable and secure fit.
  • Good call quality.

Cons:

  • Slight distortion at maximum volume.
  • Touch controls could be more intuitive.

Overall, the Buds B168 are a great pair of true wireless earbuds, especially considering their price. The impressive sound quality, effective noise cancellation, and long battery life make them a compelling choice for anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable listening experience. While there are minor drawbacks, they don’t significantly detract from the overall positive experience. I highly recommend the Buds B168 to anyone seeking a balance of performance and value.
