Design, charging and comfort

The compact charging box design is higher than it is wide, and stores the earpieces under a robust magnetic lid.

It's charged by USB-C rather than micro-USB meaning it supports fast charging. However, the Bluedio T-Elf has an annoying charging problem. As soon as the charging case has fully charged up the earpieces, the earpieces automatically connect to your device again, thereby stealing the audio from your device even if you're not using the T-Elf. This drains the battery of your device and earphones. The only way to prevent this is long pressing the buttons on both earpieces to shut them off completely.

The earpieces are a small bean shape in shiny plastic and a single button on the side. Their compactness make them comfortable for smaller sized ears.


Connectivity and controls

A single press on the button pauses or plays the music or takes a call. A long press activates the voice assistant. Pressing twice redials the last number you've called.

The Bluetooth connection should hold up to around 10 metres.


Sound

It offers a balanced sound, with emphasis on the mids and highs. Vocals and instruments like guitars and violins sound clear and aren't pushed away by the bass. That one is purely supportive here. If there is any bass slam, it's minimal, and the same goes for a sub bass. The Bluedio T-Elf therefore gives lots of room for detail in the mids and highs.
