RHA TrueConnect review: In Ear Mic Wireless Bluetooth Headphones, perfect choice

Offering rich, full-bodied sound with a truly wireless design, RHA TrueConnect headphones are the perfect choice for people on the go.

Fully wireless design
Unlike other wireless Bluetooth earbuds, RHA TrueConnect headphones are truly wireless. This means that not only the connection cable is gone, but also the umbilical connection between the left and right earbuds. Wireless of any kind, just come in and go.

Technology-wise, this kind of earphone is beginning to advance. The RHA TrueConnects sound great, have a battery life of around five hours between charges, and are about the same price as a set of AirPods. But RHA hasn’t fully nailed the connectivity, unlike its Apple near-equivalents. They experience Bluetooth blips as a consequence, which you won’t experience with the best products at this price.

The RHA TrueConnect enclosure is well-designed but requires considerable assembly. The aluminum cover flips open to reveal the beds of the buds, however because the opening is so small and the stems of the buds stick into the aluminum cover, removing them can seem like fishing the last olive from a jar. The magnets that hold the earpieces in place while charging are something we do like, though. They remain inside the casing even when turned upside down.
The RHA TrueConnects’ only significant problem is connectivity, with some users mentioning unstable Bluetooth. In our opinion, they’re not terrible, but they’re also not nearly good enough for a $150 pair of headphones.

Increase playback time with the reload box
Charged, these small headphones give you up to five hours of playback. What is really clean, however, is the case provided. Slide them and, in about 15 minutes, you will have another two and a half hours (50%) playing time. In total, the charging case keeps these headphones in playback for another 20 hours.

RHA Quality
With the RHA stem’s distinctive design and quality speakers, TrueConnect headphones maximize sound quality. Deep, dynamic and full of sound details, RHA stands out from the crowd.

Robust design
The durable design makes TrueConnects sweat and water resistant (IPX5 rating), making them the perfect partner both in the gym and away from home. The ergonomic design means they are designed to stay in place, even during strenuous activity.

The TrueConnects’ case has a special swivel design that, when pushed back, uncovers the earphones. Since the construction is symmetrical, it can be a little annoying to not be able to identify which direction the case swivels, but it is not a huge deal.
The case is made of metal and has a black PVD-coated aluminum cover. In addition, because the case body is covered in the same matte black soft-touch rubber as the earphones, fingerprints are drawn to it very quickly. We discovered that the PVD coating started to peel off significantly on the edges after a few months of use.
The case has a single USB-C charging port, so the earbuds charge faster than headphones that still use the antiquated microUSB connector.

Meet comfort
Despite their robustness, TrueConnect headphones are never less comfortable. Supplied with three sizes of Comply Foam RX-2000 tips plus seven pairs of silicone tips, there is a headset for everyone.

Tap to check
With touch pads on both sides, you have full control of the game, stop and jump. You can also change the volume, take calls, and turn on your phone’s voice assistant, all at the touch of a pad.

Take calls on your smartphone
With the built-in microphone, these RHA headphones are the perfect companion for your smartphone. Compatible with Android and iPhone, they also support digital voice assistants built into your smartphone.Photo/Video:RHA Audio

The RHA TrueConnects are unmistakable evidence that truly wireless earphones are maturing in terms of acoustic quality. However, they don’t do their connections as well as the greatest. Inter-ear blips are frequent, proving Bluetooth 5.0 is insufficient to resolve all signal problems.
Thanks to their excellent sound, dependable connection, and sturdy construction, the RHA TrueConnect are still among the best true wireless headphones you can buy. The RHA TrueConnect headphones have one of the best core experiences despite lacking some nice-to-have features of rival true wireless headphones.

Listen wirelessly, longer, with RHA TrueConnect.
