The RHA TrueConnect got great reviews when it was released in 2018. How is it now, compared to the Samsung Galaxy Buds, Creative Outlier and more?

The HearWiki takeAI-condensed

The RHA TrueConnect offers a straightforward true wireless experience with a comfortable, lightweight fit and IPX5 water resistance for workouts. Its sound is decent but can sound dated and slightly muddy compared to newer buds, while the lack of modern features like ANC or app support limits its appeal today. Battery life is average at 5 hours per charge, with a total of 25 hours including the case.

The RHA TrueConnect shows just how fast the market of true wireless earphones is developing. A little year after its release, its sound is a bit muddy and artificial compared to newer offerings. With comfort and connectivity challenges as well, it's mostly video quality the RHA has still going for it. Buy RHA TrueConnect on Amazon US Buy RHA TrueConnect on Amazon Europe (Germany) Buy RHA TrueConnect on Amazon UK I received the RHA TrueConnect from Dutch shop GetLoud.nl temporarily for testing and reviewing purposes. I test and review all audio products equally honest - read about it here . Consider buying this earphone? I'd really appreciate it if you use the links in this article. It won't cost you extra, yet it will financially support me a bit in my ongoing quest for great affordable audio. <3 Also read: Leaderboard: All wireless earphones reviewed

RHA sound in wireless format

I usually don t like to listen music thru wireless headphones. Nowadays everything is wireless and numerous conference calls everyday made me reconsider my old thought... I want to try a wirelessRead more

Solid. Buy them for less than $75.

Got it for $50 on sale, and it was worth every single penny. I’d say $100 is probably fair. The sound is “really good”, but I don’t feel that it’s necessary to go into a full-on audiophile analyzationRead more

Great earbuds if they work for your device

The build quality of the earbuds and case is excellent. I m no audiophile, but the sound quality is very solid. I also never ran out of battery during several days of use. Unfortunately, I had toRead more
