Baseus Eli Sport 1 review: headphones for attentive athletes

Baseus Eli Sport 1 has touch surfaces that can be controlled. At first we thought that these surfaces were inside the rings of light, but this assumption was incorrect. Sensitive surfaces are located under the rings. However, they are not marked and cannot be felt to the touch.

In addition, the headphones are movable due to their location in front of the ear and offer virtually no resistance when pressed with a finger. Simply pressing a surface does nothing; this area must be touched at least twice. Possible commands also ” press and hold” AND ” press three times“.

It’s nice that the controls can be assigned differently for both sides. However, it is a pity that orders cannot be distributed freely. The application offers a different set of commands for double tap what for tapping and holding Where triple tap.

By default, double-tapping both sides plays or pauses playback. Pressing and holding decreases (left) and increases (right) the volume. Press three times to go to the previous (left) or next (right) track. Other options include enabling a voice assistant or low latency mode.

Not only can you customize the controls using the app, but there is also an equalizer. In automatic mode, it can recognize the music being played and adjust the setting accordingly. Preset modes are also available. Finally, the equalizer can also be adjusted according to your preferences.

Once the headphones are connected, the app displays the charging status of the headphones as well as the status of their case. A sound may also be played to help you find your headphones. A map showing their last known location will also help you find them. Eli Sport 1 does not have port recognition. The headphones can be used individually.

The battery life of the Eli Sport 1 is very good. However, during our test we didn’t reach the 13 hours promised by Baseus. However, even with the volume turned up, the Eli Sport 1 only turned off after 9 hours of continuous playback. After 15 minutes in the case they are charged by 75%.
