[Usage scene and details] The unique structure called ear cuffs does not block the ears, so you can hear the surrounding sounds. With this, you can respond to courier deliveries at home, and you can pay attention to the safety of your surroundings even when you are out. In addition to the sound quality, wearing comfort, and call function, we will also check the ease of sound leakage on trains and indoors.

Sound leakage doesn't seem to happen

It's called an ear cuff.

ambie "sound earcuffs AM-TW01" with a unique structure. Ambie's ear cuff-type earphones were a wired type in 2017 and a wireless neckband type in 2018, making it a long-awaited complete wireless. The wearing method is also different from ordinary earphones. In a form called an ear cuff, it is worn on the side instead of under the ear. To be honest, it takes some getting used to, but while pulling the earlobe with one hand, put the "sound earcuffs AM-TW01" on the edge of the ear with the other hand. It seems difficult, but if you imagine the finished product, you can install it without much difficulty even for the first time. The front and back of the earphones have a rounded shape that holds your ears firmly in place, so you don't have to worry about them slipping down or falling off. By the way, it is one size without earpieces. The usage is the same as a general complete wireless earphone. There is a physical button on the spherical part on the back side, and you can perform a series of operations such as playing/stopping music, skipping/rewinding songs, and adjusting the volume. Wireless is Bluetooth 5.2 compliant and supports SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX Adaptive codecs. Continuous playback time is 6 hours and 18 hours with charging case. It goes into pairing mode as soon as you take it out of the case. By the way, this time it is verified by pairing with the iPhone. As for the sound, it is like an earphone that allows you to listen to music with a light sound from a position slightly outside the ear cuff you are wearing. The type is different from recent earphones that let you hear deep bass. First, pair it with your iPhone and listen from Hikaru Utada's "Anata". The high-pitched voice of the female vocalist is clear, and the performance of the band and orchestra spreads out, but the amount of information is weak. I can understand the existence of bass properly as music, but it sounds light. Listening to "24K Magic" by BrunoMars, honestly speaking, the bass is not powerful. The sound you can imagine from the structure that does not adhere to the ear canal. I can't really call it a good sound, but it's a good sound if you think of it as BGM. After all, the biggest feature is that you can hear the surrounding sounds while listening to music. This is exactly the case, and while the music flows in your ears, the surrounding sounds naturally jump in at the same time. It is a way of hearing that is not digitally processed, so it is natural and practical. On the other hand, the sound insulation is zero, so the noise jumps straight into the train, which is the opposite of noise cancellation. And what is worrisome is "sound leakage". Ambie "sound earcuffs AM-TW01" does not insulate sound as a major premise in the first place. So, needless to say, there will be sound leaks!
