Experience

Considering the current situation of Corona, my testing with the earbuds was limited, yet I tried to get the best out of it. Noting that I already own the Dudios Tic and found it appealing to me, this upgraded set of earbuds also caught my attention.

Package

The package has improved slightly from the inside, due to the new oval design of the earbuds pod. The content is still the same. It comes with a charging cable, 3 different sized sets of tips and a manual.

Design

Dudios paid attention to the design. It made it easier to distinguish between the controls area and the rest of the body. Now, the controls area has a round edge, that can be noticeably observed by the finger.

The tips now set more comfortably in comparison to Dudios Tic. The new design provide a firm grip to both the tips and the controls area, so that you don't have an inaccurate touch of the area or accidentally get the wrong feedback off the controls.

Quality

Dudios Ace T8 implements Solo and Mono modes, in case you would like to hear the surroundings from one ear. It's highlighted by the feature that Dudios Ace T8 doesn't have a "parent" earbud, so that you can use any of the earbuds without any limitation.

Testing on the low and medium range spectrums give the best quality with notable defined sounds. High range is also spectacular, considering the audio quality doesn't get "crispy" or lose its features.

Furthermore, the experience with bass boosted music is incredibly amazing. It also applies to calm music, where focusing is the main concern of yours.

Performance, Usage

Battery life is a main feature of the earbuds. It has 35 hours of playtime and I managed to test that throughout the week. Also, there are no noticeable connectivity issues, thanks to the Bluetooth 5 chipset that's bundled with it.

The new controls are much simpler. You can use different gestures, such as: Touch, long touch for x seconds, etc. Doing those gestures will let you control the music (Next/Previous/etc), change the volume and manage the incoming calls.

Misc

The earbuds are priced for 27.99 Euro on Amazon (DE/26.12.2020), with a 10% discount, making the price as low as 25.191 Euro. It also comes with IPX7 rating, so you don't need to worry much about getting wet.

Daily usage

It's been more than a week of testing and I have used the earbuds during my training and work. The quality and battery life amazed me, especially with the convenient price for them. I didn't have any issue with long sessions or wet conditions. Jogging and sprinting were also smooth, the earbuds managed to have a firm grip and be stable in their position.

I didn't have to re-position them and the quality of the sound is notably great, especially in a crowded area. The volume didn't need to be insanely high to have my own "world" with these earbuds and I can easily switch to Solo mode when I want to hear other people.

The earbuds are suitable for casual events, workout sessions, gaming and calming moments. It can be your daily companion and the charging pod can be easily brought with it.

Notes:

Remove the charging safety tapes from the earbuds. It's transparent.

TL;DR:

Great, distinguishable design.

Firm, comfortable in all situations (walking, running, training, sitting and leaning).

Solo/Mono modes.

Durable, suitable for long sessions.

Improved audio quality.

Great quality/price ratio.

I hope you enjoyed reading. I'll see you in my next review!
