13:16TA FIRMA KIEDYŚ NIEŹLE NAMIESZA NA RYNKU. Test Baseus Inspire XP1
The reviewer finds the Baseus Inspire XP1 to be a well-built and comfortable pair of TWS earbuds with a pleasant, balanced sound signature, but notes that the lack of high-resolution audio codecs is a significant drawback at the price point. While the ANC and transparency modes are adequate, they don't stand out against competitors, and the overall package doesn't deliver a wow factor despite the Sound by Bows collaboration. The reviewer concludes that while it's a good effort from Baseus, there are better options available for the money.
