The Avantree TWS115 True Wireless Earbuds: Bass Boost and Wireless Charging for Cheap

As the name implies, you can charge the Avantree TWS115 True Wireless Earbuds wirelessly, and they also have a heavy bass response. Plus, they cost less than $50, which is a steal!

This isn’t to say they’re perfect. Again, they’re less than $50, and they do feel that cheap. They’re super lightweight (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing), they aren’t sweatproof, and I have some problems with their controls (more on that later).

However, the TWS115s managed to surpass some expectations—at least those I had for wireless earbuds at this price point. They’re fairly comfortable (again, lightweight), they sound good, they have a solid battery life, their case is genuinely portable (it’s only about three-inches long), and you can charge them wirelessly (without blowing them up). What more could you ask for?

What’s That? Bass Boost?

Earbud sound quality is pretty hit or miss, especially when you dip into the cheap wireless variety. However, I’m happy with how the Avantree TWS115s sound. They aren’t perfect, but they sound adequate for the price (and maybe better than some competitors).

These earbuds emphasize the bass and treble frequencies. In fact, they offer a prominent bass boost you won’t find on other budget wireless earbuds, like the TaoTronics SoundLiberty 53 True Wireless Earbuds. Is that a good thing? Not necessarily—bass boost can make music, podcasts, and videos sound muddy. However, it’s better than just treble.

Speaking of treble, I’m impressed by how the high end sounds on these earbuds. It’s crisp without getting into that aluminum-on-a-chalkboard territory, which is surprising at this price point. The Avantree TWS115s are definitely worth a look if your current earbuds attack your ears with piercing treble and no bass.

My one real complaint about the TWS115s’ sound quality is the same one I have about most earbuds (including AirPods, Jabras, and so on)—there are no mids. Without mids, music sounds thin, voices sound distant, and kick drums lose their oomph!

However, I won’t knock off points for this.

Solid Bluetooth, but Underwhelming Controls

The earbuds automatically connect to your phone when you pull them out of their case and automatically disconnect when you put them back. I haven’t encountered any lag, they haven’t fallen out of sync, and the Bluetooth connection works flawlessly across the length of about two bedrooms.
