Product details
Truly wireless earphones are all about balance, and the C8s from Pioneer are on the money. Sound is excellent with deep bass from powerful drivers and AAC codec delivered via Bluetooth wireless technology.
Battery life is strong: charge up for three hours of listening and the carry-case will charge the earphones twice before needing to charge the case. Voice access to smartphone assistants, hands-free calling, and music control come via buttons designed for easy convenience. The C8 works with an Android app that reads out notifications, a feature unique to Pioneer. But the difference is in the detail: unique L/R shapes, body-agnostic charging ports, textured silicon sleeves for grip, and LED battery indicator on the case. Light, practical, immersive, the C8 truly wireless has freedom you need.

Stiftung Warentest18 Bluetooth-In-Ohr-Kopfhörer 11/2018ReleaseOctober 2018
Mäßig. Klingt etwas dünn, rauscht leicht. Dämpft wenig. Lautstärke lässt sich nicht am Hörer ändern. Unterstützt Siri und Google Assistant. Telefonate nur links. Schaltet bei Nichtnutzung ab, Akku aber dennoch nur ausreichend. Tasten reagieren verzögert und wackeln. Fiel im Test mehreren Prüfpersonen bei Bewegung aus dem Ohr. Nicht spritzwassergeschützt.
- Guter Klang
- sporttaugliches Material mit angenehmer Haptik
- guter Sitz
- App liest E-Mails, SMS und Kalendereinträge vor
- App gibt es nur für Android
- die Ladeschale ist recht groß
Guter Klang, ausreichend lange Laufzeiten und nette Extras, die neuen True Wireless In-Ear Headphones haben sich im Test gut geschlagen. Und es gibt in allen Preislagen ein Angebot.
