Majority Tru 2 Review ANC Earbuds With Loud volume

Wednesday, April 12, 2023



The new Majority Tru2 true wireless earbuds burst into the scene sporting massive 13mm drivers, making them truly more powerful than the majority of the competition!
 

The Majority Tru2 earbuds have the classic hair dryer earbud design with a long stem, which anchors the earbuds and prevents them from falling out. The Tru2 earbuds have an all-plastic construction. The bottom half of the body shell has a glossy finish, while the top half of the stem has a matte plastic finish. Despite being non-rubberized, the plastic is grippy which helps keep the earbuds in the ears securely. The fit is comfortable too, thanks to the short nozzle design, which doesn't insert too deep inside the ear canal.
 
The Tru2 earbuds integrate low sensitive touch controls, which means you have to firmly tap on the stem to register an action. This is both an advantage and disadvantage if you prefer lightly tapping on earbuds. Touch controls include play/pause, track skipping (next/previous), voice assistant, ANC/Transparency mode and calls (answer/end/reject), which are operated via single, double and triple tap gestures.


The Majority Tru2 earbuds and charging case fully charge in 1.5 hours. At medium, you can get 6 hours of battery life with ANC OFF and 5 hours with ANC ON. There is quick charge support too, which gives 1 hour of battery life from a 15 minute charge. The Tru2 charging case holds 17 hours of power to recharge the earbuds. The Tru2 charging case is very compact with a pebble shape design easy to slide in and out of a jeans pocket. Dimensions of the case are 55.5cm x 4.5cm x 3cm thick. The weight is 39 grams for the case and 5 grams per earbud.  


 As far as sweat resistance, it appears to be an oversight as it strangely reads "IPX" without an actual rating (e.g. IPX5, IPX7, etc). That said, you can expect the Majority Tru2 earbuds to be at least IPX4 rated since most true wireless earbuds are sweat resistant by designed. Pairing and connection is straight forward. Simply flip the case lid open and connect the earbuds without having to remove them out of the case. To power them off, simply close the lid. 


Switching between stereo and mono listening is seamless, although re-connection is no instant (2-second re-connection delay). The bluetooth status led stops flashing once connected, which means no annoying blinking earbuds! The audio performance is the key selling point. Plenty of volume and bass sound without muddling the vocals. Majority has no app support for the earbuds though, which means no native EQ. You can use your phone's built-in EQ, although a native EQ app for earbuds is always better optimize.
 
The ANC and transparency mode performance is decent too if you use ANC while playing music to block external sounds. Without audio playing, the ANC will marginally attenuate ambient sounds. It will not block people chatter or completely remove external noise. The microphone performance is good for casual calls, even in loud environments. The mics have some noise suppression built-in, although not very strong so, background noise gets leaked into the call.
