Elevoc Clear: ANC + ENC AI Noise Cancellation Earbuds

Over the last ten years, wireless earphones have grown substantially. The era of tinny sound, poor fit, and basic technologies that merely couldn't deliver the desired sound quality is over. The improvements in noise cancellation and rechargeable batteries have built up a huge rush of earbuds that are available in all price ranges. This ordinary competition has made the manufacturers work hard to reach their earbuds to people. At present we see numerous brands offering earbuds with beneficial features, magnificent battery life, and the best comfort.

Let's consider Elevoc as an example. They are a new company that releases new products. Declared as a  “leading AI-powered audio solution provider on a mission to help people communicate with the world”.

First Look

The Elevoc Clear comes in a tight box with a multitude of attachments included. When opening the box we were surprised to see an instruction manual, a larger cable, 12 ear tips, and a charging case with the earbuds. The only things missed were a pouch or a carrying case. A charging case is a safe place for earbuds when they are not using it. When keeping the batteries off and ready to use. The case is very secure it's about 2.5″ wide x 1.75″tall x 1″ deep and maintains a flip-top lid that attractively closes shut. It is really suitable for maximum portability. It fits best in the palm of your hand.

The earbuds are coming with a secured charging case, ready at once to pair when removing them. But first, you have to take some time to ensure you have installed the correct ear tips. With 6 different pairs, better to find the tips that give a smug fit, and one without the pressure points. After doing this the earbuds will fit tightly to avoid background sound. With the earbuds in your ears, you will be able to shake your head and jump up and down without losing them.

Pairing

As the Elevoc Clear earbuds are wireless, they need a Bluetooth connection to send the audio. It means that you have to pair it with a Bluetooth-activated device to use them. The earbuds automatically move into pairing mode when they are removed from the charging case. When removing them look for the connection in the smartphone, tablet, or any device that you need to pair with. There will be “Elevoc Clear” as a near connection to pair with.

If you are unable to pair them, or if you need to pair them with a new device, keep back the earbuds in the charging case close the lid, and press and keep holding the charging port for 5 seconds. This makes them ready to re-pair with near devices.  The light on the left and the other two on the right side flashes usually before realizing the light for 3 seconds. This shows that earbuds are under Bluetooth searching and pairing mode.

We thought the pairing process was quite simple. That's exactly what we like: a simple connection process without the fuss you might be used to with other earbuds. In fact, every time we used the earphones with a new smartphone, they were paired properly in about 15 seconds.

Phone Call Sound Quality

Possibly, sound quality is a very important thing when taking a brand-new wireless earbud. It seems that Elevoc gives extra time and attempts to make sure that clear earbuds give the relevant sound for their price. Usage of six separate microphones, they are able to instinctively remove the background noise for all phone calls and music.

The linked microphones functions in connecting with the two voice transducers and a  “Vocplus” algorithm. They reduce the background noise and interruptions that have to face.  This makes the most suitable listening surrounding for you to have phone calls in noisy, busy, or interrupting environments. In turn, the voice is emphasized and makes the call more quality as clear humans

We checked some phone calls in various environments. According to the results we gained from various earbuds, the Elevoc Clear was the best at avoiding background noise. We tested a phone call on a bus ride while traveling, in a coffee shop, and also during a baseball match. It is happy that we found the environment noise canceling works better as the Elevoc says. On the other side of the phone calls, users talk about near silence with clear sound transmission. In the end, it seems that Elevoc delivered the promise on their clear and noiseless phone calls.

Music Sound Quality

We were happy to see that Elevoc Clear is not for only phone calls, but for the fascinating sound of music. Made with Active Noice cancellation, the Elevoc clear uses integrated microphones to automatically silence any noise. The dynamic drivers are used by the earbuds to avoid reversing sound waves. In other words, it collects the background noise and gives the opposite sound waves. Before everything ANC feature is working at its best.

You can move to various sound modes by pressing and holding the left or right earbud for 2 seconds. The ANC, ambient, and default.  It is good to keep the ANC mode activated as it gives the best sound quality for music. Ambient suits for the ones who need to use play music and still hear the surround sound near you. The default mode sounds ok and it is the standard mode, but not good as ANC is activated. As we think ANC is the best mode that you can get.

Additionally to ANC. The Elevoc Clear has got a significant 10mm driver inside the earbuds. They are dynamic means they deliver the best listening experience. Actually, the frequencies are uniquely tuned to give properly balanced highs mids, and lows. Even the low end has got a good “thump” and “bass”. The earbuds are small, but they give the sound with well-balanced tones.

Battery Life

 Battery life is so important for those who use earbuds. As said earlier Elevoc Clear has got a charging case. So don’t worry that the earbuds are always topped off and ready to listen. This charging case has got a 600 mAh battery capacity. It gives 25-30 hours of battery life before charging up the case by plugging in a USB-C cable.

Anyhow as each earbud is made with a 45mAh battery, you are unable to expect 25-30 hours of battery life for each earbud. When ANC is turned on, there will be around 5 hours of listening. When ANC is off you may get extra hours(6 hours total) per earbud.

Each earbud needs about 90 minutes to "top-off" to get fully charged. If the battery in the case is completely dead, it should take around 2 hours to fully recharge.

The battery life was about average in our opinion. On a single charge, some earbuds last up to 50 hours, while others only last 12 to 18 hours. However, Elevoc's estimations for the battery life appeared to be accurate. It took almost precisely the same amount of time each time we charged the earbuds. We have reason to be happy about that.

Durability

The Elevoc Clear wireless earbuds have a sturdy build and are constructed to very high standards. They are strong, small, and well-built; they don't feel cheap or tacky at all. We also value the matte finish because it doesn't appear to draw dirt or fingerprints.

The Elevoc Clear's IP54 rating for water and dust protection is the cherry on top. The "5" indicates that they are only moderately resistant to dust and grime when used normally. However, if you put them through their paces, they wouldn't be highly resistant to the entry of dust or dirt. The "4" designates that they are somewhat waterproof but protected from water splashes from all directions.

Simply defined, they are water resistant against sweat, moisture, and rain and not completely waterproof. The performance and lifetime of the earphones will be negatively affected by high-pressure water or complete submersion in water. In other words, you can go outside with them in the rain and snow but you shouldn't swim with them on. Although a little greater durability rating would have been ideal, they will still function just well in the majority of situations.

You should bear in mind that while the charging case is IP54-rated, the earbuds are not. It's crucial to maintain the case safe; avoid exposing it to dampness or dirt since it probably won't work out well.
