![]() ![]() Where the charging case presents another mild irritant is how the earbuds rest in their cradles. In addition, although the earbuds are lightweight and I switched the eargel size to compensate for my small ears - they still fell out often-which was a deal breaker for me. For one, the buttons for the earbuds are positioned in a manner that when you need to press it you end up pushing the earbuds even further inside your ear canal. There’s also some design issues which may irk you. Point blank –you’re definitely going to sacrifice really good sound quality and some battery life with the Wicked Audio Arq. So if you don’t mind your earbuds living mainly in the case versus in your ears then you’ll be fine. Considering it’s 2600mAh of power, you can get a full recharge within 30 minutes. This is clearly not ideal, but it now makes sense why the charging case is so big. In my tests I got about 2.5 hours before I got started hearing a voice announcing “Low Charge” in the left earbud every 30 seconds. The Arqs have a fairly short battery life, listed at 3 Hours. Overall while the Arq sound is passable, it’s just ok and nothing special. While I hate earbuds that have muddy, overdone bass that drowns out other frequencies, I also don’t enjoy it when that punch is missing. In addition, there’s no accompanying app or way to allow you to adjust the levels so I was left with a lukewarm feeling. Interestingly enough the box itself boasts that the earbuds have “enhanced bass”, but when I ran it through a gamut of bass heavy tunes by Megan Thee Stallion, Young M.A. While the Arqs are fine enough for loudness and overall clarity of what you’re listening to, the sound felt a little too treble heavy. While I had high hopes, the sound quality was fairly unimpressive. The cover is slightly transparent, so when you’re charging the earbuds and close the cover, you can still see the LED status lights and ascertain if the earbuds are ready for use. For some reason that button is close almost flush within the case, so someone with longer nails (such as myself) may have to fiddle around a bit before reaching the button. The area is protected by a small swing “door” cover which pops open with a spring upon pressing a release button right below it. That said, you still end up with a charging case thatĭoubles as a portably battery so that means something in the long run.Īdjacent to the logo is the housing where the earbud cradles are located. Its 5.25” in length, so it’s not something everyone can conveniently throw in a The case is very light but its shape doesn’t make it easy to stow away. Shiny “Wicked Audio” emblazoned on the front which gives it a more polished I will say I actually love the charging case-but merely fromĪ style and inclusivity perspective. ![]() Also on the earbuds are tiny LED lights which glow or blink blue or red depending upon connectivity status and battery life. On the flat side of the earbuds are the on/off, pause/play buttons. The earbuds themselves look straight out of a factory without any real distinguishing features. And to Wicked Audio’s credit, the Arq earbuds remained paired regardless of how many times I turned them off, went out of range, or switched between other Bluetooth connected devices. Though the Bluetooth pairing procedure absolutely needs instruction, it was one of the smoothest, most straight-forward pairing process I experienced. Also inside the box are a microUSB to USB charging cord, 3 additional ear gel sizes and of course the instruction booklet. The case is outfitted with a USB and microUSB port which allows you to charge other portable devices along with the earbuds-a very nice complimentary touch. The Arq True Wireless earbuds come in a cylindrical charging case which serves double-duty as a powerbank. Way of pseudo-sophisticated fashion, it lacks in the delivery of both sound and Wireless Earbuds and got to test them out I started with lots intrigue.
