A great pair of wireless headphones and a portable Bluetooth speaker are essential for any music lover who enjoys listening to music on the go, but buying all of these can be expensive. But what if you could combine the two form factors? The new Duolink earphones are apparently capable of doing just that, combining AirPods-style true wireless earbuds with a charging case that doubles as a portable speaker. When you want to go from personal listening to sharing your music with your friends, Duolink says you can insert the earphones on top of the speaker "to transfer music in less than a second, without any lag." You also have the option of listening in mono or stereo thanks to the speaker's modular design, as Duolink explains: "If you want to go from a single full subwoofer to sharing high-quality sound from both sides of a room, simply split the Duolink Speakerbuds in half to immediately create a stereo sound space."
How they sound
The headphones' battery life is four hours, while the speaker can last for six hours, and if you want to use the speaker box to charge your headphones, you'll get an extra eight hours of juice. An IP54 waterproof and dustproof rating means the headphones and speaker can be used outdoors, while Bluetooth 5 should ensure a stable connection with your phone or tablet. Duolink doesn't offer much insight into the kind of sound quality to expect from the headphones and speaker, other than the fact that the speaker has a 20Hz - 20kHz frequency range - around average for most devices. personal audio.
