Arbily T8 headphones review

Once again we have received Androidsis Arbily TWS wireless headphones. A manufacturer from which we have been fortunate to test up to three different models of headphones of the same style. And about the one we perform an interesting comparison to which must be added the ARBLY T8.

Wireless headphones continue to rise in popularity as the most indispensable smartphone accessories. Their features and the utilities they offer make them the perfect gadget to pair with a mobile phone . The current trend is for cables to disappear completely, especially now that most smartphone manufacturers have opted to eliminate the traditional 3.5mm headphone jack.

If you're looking for decent, functional headphones at a competitive price, the Arbily T8s are a well-rounded solution. Thanks to the coupon TM9ON5OA, you can get them with an extra 20% discount , making them a smart buy for those who don't want to spend hundreds of euros on premium brands but still need good battery life.

The Arbily T8, another alternative to airpods

It must be acknowledged that, once again, and although they weren't the first, Apple is influencing the market. In this case, not the smartphone market itself, but one of the most sought-after accessories in recent months: wireless headphones.

Since the arrival of AirPods on the market—which, we reiterate, weren't the first to incorporate TWS (True Wireless Stereo) technology—other companies, both small and large, rushed to present alternatives . We've seen how practically every brand has decided to try its luck in this sector with varying degrees of success, attempting to replicate the convenience of being wireless.

The key for any manufacturer to compete with a product boasting such massive marketing and recognition isn't simple. Offering the same thing is no longer enough . To capture attention, the product must be better, a truly difficult feat in terms of brand prestige. But what if it's significantly cheaper? This is much easier to achieve, and it's where Arbily has found its niche.

With the goal of offering a more affordable product while maintaining very decent quality standards, we see how Arbily offers real alternatives . These alternatives become real when we observe that the product, in addition to being much more economical, is remarkable for its technical features and daily performance.

Recognizable design and materials

As we mentioned at the beginning, these are not the first Arbily that we have tested in Androidsis. Because of that, its aesthetics, design, and even the materials used for its construction are familiar to usIt is very clear that it is the same manufacturer, and that is synonymous, at the very least, with experience in the sector and an optimized production line.

Looking at the box , we see that it's noticeably larger than other models from the same company . It's made of a seemingly durable plastic with a matte finish, which is a plus because it's much less prone to showing fingerprints. It also features a translucent lid , allowing you to easily see the earbuds inside.

Through the lid, you can also clearly see the LED lights that indicate the charge level of the charging case itself, letting you know how much time you have left before needing to plug it in. Although the locking mechanism isn't the most sophisticated we've seen, it opens and closes properly, and the lid fits perfectly onto the case.

They're easy to open, and the locking mechanism seems secure enough that they won't accidentally open in your pocket and cause the earbuds to fall out. It's a functional design that prioritizes utility over extreme elegance.

The case , besides being larger than average, is also heavier . This is largely due to the battery in the charging case. These are the headphones with the largest battery capacity on the market in their price range: a whopping 3.000 mAh , a capacity that even surpasses that of some older smartphones or low-end devices.

The headphones themselves also maintain an aesthetic very much in line with the rest of the brand's models . The Arbily T8s are made of plastic with a glossy finish . They feature a red LED light that will blink differently depending on the device's status: when pairing with a mobile phone, when playback is active, or when the battery is low.

One concept, many versions, and performance

The concept of a charging case in one is now commonplace for all wireless earbuds on the market. And the Arbily T8 follows this same formula. However, in this case, the concept is taken to the extreme to offer performance far superior to the competition in terms of energy efficiency.

As we know, what truly makes a device portable and independent is its battery life. Any gadget is better if it can be used wirelessly for longer. And the Arbily T8 is a great example of battery life and independent charging . Its extraordinary 3.000 mAh battery allows it to last for weeks without needing to be plugged into a power outlet.

To analyze the actual battery life, we must divide it into two parts. Considering that the earbuds have a battery life of between 3 and 4 hours per individual charge (depending on the volume level and type of use), and that the charging case and base can provide between 15 and 18 full charges , the result is surprising.

We're talking about up to 72 hours of actual use without needing to plug the case into a charger. This is completely unthinkable for the vast majority of TWS earbuds on the market, which typically offer between 3 and 5 additional charges.

In terms of connectivity, they use Bluetooth 5.0 for pairing with the device. While the initial connection may take a few seconds longer than usual, once established, they work seamlessly and maintain a stable connection. Furthermore, they are compatible with both Android and iOS , allowing interaction with virtual assistants such as Siri and Google Assistant.

The Arbily T8 also charge your mobile

The charging capacity of its case is undoubtedly one of its biggest selling points. With a 3.000 mAh capacity, it also functions as an external battery (power bank) that can charge your smartphone in an emergency.

The Arbily T8 wireless headphones offer an extra feature not typically found in devices of this type. To charge your smartphone, they have a standard USB port on one side where you can connect the cable and the device you want to power.

Another advantage is their IPX6 water resistance rating . Thanks to a sealed casing , their internal components are protected from sweat and water splashes. This makes them an ideal accessory for outdoor sports, whether running or working out at the gym. The Arbily T8s are ready to go out and keep up with your active lifestyle.

As for the sound experience, the result is satisfactory. The bass is quite powerful , and the treble is very clear . The volume level is also a pleasant surprise, easily covering ambient noise in most situations. Finding the right size ear tips is crucial for enjoying the sound quality, as the product includes three different sizes to ensure a perfect fit in the ear canal.

It's important to mention that, being an affordable product, they don't have active noise cancellation (ANC), but the passive noise isolation provided by the ear pads is adequate. They are also touch-sensitive : depending on whether you tap them once or twice, you can manage calls, pause, or start music. Unlike other basic models, the T8s allow you to adjust the volume directly from the earbuds.

Pros and cons of the Arbily T8 headphones

Advantages (Pros)

The 3.000 mAh battery in the charging case is its strongest point, especially because of its versatility in serving as an external battery for your mobile phone.

The sound it offers is really good for its price range, with remarkable volume power that rivals much more expensive models.

The inclusion of three sizes of ear pads ensures that any user can find the perfect fit to prevent the headphones from falling out during movement.

Disadvantages (Cons)

The weight of the earbuds and their charging case is higher than we might expect from this type of device. However, it's a logical compromise to achieve such high battery capacity.

The plastic material of the case , while functional, could prove fragile if dropped hard. We haven't conducted extreme impact tests, but the tactile feel suggests it requires careful handling.

The audio quality in phone calls is not as clear as in music playback; the other person may notice a lower quality compared to high-end headphones.

The Arbily T8 batteries are an extremely attractive option for those who prioritize battery life and functionality over brand. Their ability to act as an external charger and their IPX6 water resistance make them ideal companions for everyday use and sports, more than compensating for the slight fragility of their materials and the extra weight of the case with unprecedented charging freedom in this price range.
