The selling point of Huami Amazift PowerBuds Pro noise reduction headset is very rare - heart rate detection. It was first launched overseas in July, and the Bank of China version was released together with the Amazift GTR 3/GTS 3 series smart watches on October 12. Although it seems very low-key under the aura of the Amazift GTR 3 series, it is really a novel wireless headset. The mobile phone factory and the headphone factory play more with earphones, and the "watch factory" has made earphones for the first time. After half a month of experience, I will report to you now.

Appearance: taste of Dafa+apple
Full white environmental protection style packaging, the data cable is fixed with paper card like Apple, and three sizes of translucent silicone plugs "S, L, XL" are additionally delivered.
The Amazift PowerBuds Pro headphone case is made of white matte material, and the interior is gray brown like a mixture of glitter powder. The magnetic cover has no empty position, the suction is slightly large, and the texture is pleasing.
The black area of the right ear catheter is the PPG heart rate sensor ↑
The color matching and outline of the Amazift PowerBuds Pro earphone body remind me of Dafa's noise reduction beans. The earphone shell is spliced by 4 components. The gap and tolerance control is better than Dafa, and the price range should be at the same level.
The Amazift PowerBuds Pro has the PPG heart rate sensor, distance sensor and acceleration sensor all plugged in, but its shape and size are almost the same as those of normal earphones. Its volume is much smaller than the previous bean PowerBuds (which also supports heart rate). The single unit's endurance is one hour longer than PowerBuds. The industrial design is geared to the previous generation and some peers.
Basic sound quality, noise reduction and delay
Wear: In order for the heart rate sensor in the catheter to work properly, Amazift PowerBuds Pro uses translucent silicone earplugs. The earplugs are hard and easy to take care of. After selecting the appropriate size, they will be worn tightly and will not be too tired after wearing for a long time, which is unexpected. However, when the hard earplug moves and beats greatly, there will be a friction sound similar to the stethoscope effect (this pot may also have to be backed by the weight of the monomer);
tone quality: 9mm LCP diaphragm dynamic+AAC coding, the optimization direction is aimed at the music scene in motion, and the sound style orientation is very obvious - low frequency, low frequency, or low frequency.
This is also the most prominent feature of the audio quality of PowerBuds last year, and the Amazift PowerBuds Pro can be called the most powerful "action times" of the year. The bass volume is large, the sense of encirclement is strong, and the low-frequency diving is ordinary, but it is already a rare low-frequency quality of Bluetooth earphones. The first drum of Aunt Cai Qin's "Ferry" can shock you, and you can hear many low-frequency details that are not heard by Bluetooth earphones at ordinary times. Wide sound field, high low-frequency separation. However, the medium and high frequencies are relatively not prominent and the level is weak.
When the low frequency is increased to this level, listening to many familiar songs will make you feel different. It's also Aunt Cai Qin's Song of Zhang San. The ferocious low frequency makes me hear goose bumps, Amazing。 It is estimated that users of the second call will like this exciting sound very much. If they are in the store, they may also attract many users at one ear. The Amazift PowerBuds Pro even has a function switch that automatically enhances the bass in motion. It is a real low-frequency enthusiast's hammer. If you like Apple's "boiled water", you have to operate the music equalizer yourself.
Noise reduction: Amazift PowerBuds Pro can eliminate up to 35dB of ambient noise and 40dB of wind noise. The actual commuting noise reduction capability of Amazift PowerBuds Pro is similar to that of OPPO enco X (maximum 35dB), even slightly stronger than that of OPPO enco X (maximum 35dB). The wind noise is not obvious, and the noise reduction capability meets or even exceeds expectations. It means that when the noise reduction is fully opened, the ear pressure is very obvious, as if it is releasing the sovereignty of 40dB noise reduction. If you are sensitive to ear pressure, it is recommended to keep the "adaptive noise reduction" function on;
Xiaomi 11 Ultra, the external amplifier delay under both APIs is about 52ms, the AAC delay is about 545ms when connecting to the Amazift PowerBuds Pro, and the SBC delay is about 476ms ↑
vivo X70 Pro+， External amplifier delay is 48ms (OpenSL ES API), when connecting to Amazift PowerBuds Pro, AAC delay is about 535ms, SBC delay is about 470ms ↑
Delay: Amazift PowerBuds Pro has no settings similar to the game mode, and the delay is high. The results of the Latency Test are basically consistent with the use experience. There is no problem with watching videos (APP basically has delay compensation), but they are definitely not suitable for games.
APP and interaction: very annoying health function
Amazift PowerBuds Pro is a product of Huami Watch Factory. Like Huami watches/bracelets, it uses Zepp APP.
In terms of basic functions, the earphone handle is equipped with a pressure sensor, and the corresponding position has a bulge. When pressing, there is sound feedback. The blind operation experience is much more comfortable and clear than "keys and knocks". Both earphone handles clearly support the "single press, double press, three press" operation, but there is no volume adjustment. Only four operations are provided: "previous song, next song, pause/play, and voice assistant". It is sad. In addition to the transparent mode, there are also "low, medium, high and adaptive modes" for noise reduction. The equalizer also has 10 frequency band adjustments and various style presets.
The soul of Amazift PowerBuds Pro is all about health functions. It's interesting to say something about it:
Hearing protection: Use the microphone on the inside to judge the volume in the ear, and you can see the real-time volume change. Without adding hardware, the problem of "not knowing the current actual volume at all, afraid of affecting my hearing if I turn it up, and unable to hear the songs sung to me by my classmates when I turn it down" has been solved Suggest other manufacturers follow up. The hearing protection provided by Amazift PowerBuds Pro here is actually the duration of weekly listening controlled by the actual volume (the higher the volume, the faster the countdown);
Cervical vertebra protection: This is even more unexpected. It uses the built-in acceleration sensor. First, wear headphones for normal calibration, and then it will be available It is really wonderful to remind people to relax their cervical vertebrae and seriously lower their heads. However, this function requires additional sensors, which is not realistic for other manufacturers to learn;
Running heart rate detection: Maybe because of the endurance, Amazift PowerBuds Pro can't measure the heart rate or count the steps manually. It will automatically trigger the heart rate and count the steps only when the user is detected running. Huami also adds a heart rate reminder function that can customize the threshold. When the heart rate is too fast, there will be a "ding ding+simulated heartbeat" prompt tone. The measured prompt volume is extremely loud, and you can hear it clearly when you run on the street. This may be the life-saving function of some users, which is very good, but I hope no one will ever hear this prompt tone.
In APP, the detected The heart rate data is dense and stable, and the speed, step frequency and other data are the same as those of Huami's watch, If it were not for the data source, it would be really difficult to distinguish. In addition, the heart rate sensor in the ear has a fixed position and an inherent advantage in accuracy, which is a promising detection direction (but the use scenarios are limited, after all, watches can be worn all day long, but headphones cannot).
The endurance of the headset is not affected by the heart rate detection function (after all, the heart rate is recorded only when you run, and if you want to break its endurance, your legs will also break together), and the noise reduction is close to the nominal value of 5 hours and 45 minutes. Commuter use, charge once a week 。
summary
Amazift PowerBuds Pro has a very decisive choice of functions. Its goal is to listen to music while exercising, provide heart rate detection/reminder and step counting functions, and also "carry" cervical vertebra protection and hearing protection functions. In order to adapt to sports use, sound tuning is a very pleasant bass "dynamic beat times", and noise reduction is strong enough. The completion of several health functions is relatively high, and the appearance, wear and endurance are not sacrificed. This is the only one. There are basically no products of the same type available in the market The price of 999 yuan is not exaggerated.
In terms of giving up High latency, inferior to the absolute sound quality of products at the same price (Although the sound is really pleasant). There is no dual device switching function and wireless charging. But if there is any pity, I still hope that the APP can open the heart rate detection and step counting function in the later stage, It's convenient to install it in front of friends 。
Personally, I still have a positive attitude towards Amazift PowerBuds Pro. Although it is expensive under the normal standard, the health functions such as heart rate, pedometer, hearing and cervical vertebra protection are not available in the competitive products. It can be seen that they are dedicated, not IQ tax, and are suitable for some occasions and some users with strict health needs.
Since the fall of the hammer, individuals have indeed been more tolerant of differentiated products. After all, manufacturers that "are willing/dare/able" to struggle in their own direction "buy less than they need", and thank them for every different choice they offer users.
