About this deal

If you have connected Air 1 Plus to your phone or tablet before, go ahead and delete them now from the Bluetooth Settings. Also make sure the Air 1 Plus charging case has been charged for a couple of minutes. There are some charging pads on the bottom of each earbud stem which are used to charge the earbuds when they are placed in their charging case. The underside of the earbuds features some minimal Happy Plugs branding as well as an ear indicator, so you know which ear the earbud does in. Unfortunately, there are no ear detection sensors on these earbuds, so you’ll need to make use of those button controls. Go into your device and enable Bluetooth. In the list of new devices you should find Air 1 by Happy Plugs. The Air 1 Zen features 10mm drivers which provide a punchy and warm listening experience. This sound signature does focus on the bass, so it doesn’t provide as much of a balanced experience across the audio spectrum in comparison to other earbuds that I’ve looked at in the past. This isn’t a bad thing though and really depends on how you like earbuds to sound, I imagine these earbuds would bode well to fitness-buffs and gym-goers who wish to have a thumping beat accompanying them throughout their workout.

These headphones also offer noise cancellation, and it’s not bad here — but nothing really to write home about. Ultimately, you shouldn’t expect to get the same level of noise cancellation as the likes of Sony and Bose, but the edge that ANC can take off of noise here is still appreciated. PerformanceI really like the design of these earbuds overall; they don’t stray too far from the designs found in some of the other Air 1 earbuds range – but that’s not a bad thing. They’re comfortable to wear and I like how there are a couple of different colour options available. Charging Case Place the earbuds in the charging case. Press and hold both touch control areas for ten (10) seconds. Both LED-lights will flash three (3) times.

As mentioned, the earbuds are more or less moulded to emulate Apple’s AirPods Pro headphones — and they thankfully have that awesome AirPods Pro comfort-level too. These headphones are about as comfortable as true wireless headphones can get. You can really wear these for hours on end without any issues, which is great news for those who want something to keep in their ears for a while. TYPE-C (USB-C) - The newest generation of chargers. Type-C is reliable and most important, they’re fast. The headphones are pretty good at staying in your ears, but they’re still probably not the best option for sports use. If you’re looking for great sports headphones, you’ll want buds with an ear hook to keep them in place — like the PowerBeats Pro. Sound One of the main features of the earbuds is their antibacterial protection which should keep the earbuds looking clean and fresh throughout their lifetime of regular use. Of course, it’s still good to wipe down your earbuds if they are looking a little dirty, but this added protection should keep the earbuds looking good for longer. Battery Life

So, to conclude, the Happy Plugs Air 1 Zen are a decent pair of punchy and bassy true wireless earbuds for gym-goers and those that like a thump to their music, but they were let down by their effectiveness at being able to maintain high-end clarity in various songs. Take the earbuds out of the case and hold them close to each other. The LED-lights will blink rapidly. When paired, one of the LEDs will stop blinking, while the other continues.

The high-end response is perhaps the worst thing about these earbuds, but it’s still not necessarily bad. You’ll get decent high response, and while we would have appreciated more high extension, and a boost in highs in general, but cymbals are still present enough and vocal sibilance is there. Before using, make sure Air 1 is charged. Place them in the charge case for at least 15 minutes before first use. The charging case is also well-designed. The case color matches the color of the buds, and has a USB-C port on the bottom, with LED lights to indicate battery level, and a button for re-pairing the device. You’ll also get a charging cable and an impressive six pairs of ear tips, including the tips that come pre-installed on the ear buds. I found that the default tips worked fine, but it’s nice to see that there are other options included. Comfort SBC AUDIO CODEC - SBC, or low-complexity subband codec, is an audio subband codec. SBC is a digital audio encoder and decoder used to transfer data to Bluetooth audio output devices like headphones or loudspeakers. SBC supports mono and stereo streams, certain sampling frequencies up to 48 kHz. The codec does not have bitrate limitations. If your device cannot find your Air 1 headphones, try repeating the steps above. If still not working, you might need to perform a factory reset.

Loud but slightly loose audio

The bottom of the case features a repairing button, USB Type-C charging port and four LED indicator lights which can show both the charging status of the case and light up when the earbuds themselves are charging. Sound Quality These headphones are well-designed and comfortable, but ultimately sound quality is the most important thing to consider. And, thankfully, these sound pretty great. QUALCOMM® APTX™ - AptX audio is a bit rate efficient technology that ensures you receive high quality audio from your Bluetooth® device, so you have a better listening experience. The earbuds feature a rubber ear-tip design which I have found very comfortable to use. The ear-tips provide a secure fit in the ear and the lightweight design of the earbuds also makes them comfortable to use for long periods, I also found the shape of the earbuds to be good and I did not find them uncomfortable to wear. The ear-tips offer a good amount of passive isolation from the environment around you and there are also five alternative ear-tip sizes included in the box. The earbuds are comfortable to wear and offer good passive sound isolation. I think the bassy nature of the earbuds is great for exercise as you want to feel the beat to keep your rhythm, but if that’s not your focus and you just want great sound you may be better off looking at alternatives that can deliver better clarity for the money.
