Sound

We perform a series of tests with the HHOGene GPods Bluetooth earphones during several sessions during the day and found that they connect normally. The Bluetooth 5.2 connection is stable and fast, offering a good audio range for various types of music. The in-ear fit system is comfortable and very light, we have four different ear tips.

  • Earphones: 1x Dynamic Driver / 10 mm.

HHOGene GPods review sd13

The GPods TWS earphones mount drivers with 10 mm diameter dynamic speakers, this gives us an adequate audio range in bass and treble, the maximum volume is not super high and the bass is not exaggerated. As we checked the sound is quite good at medium volume, at high volume we have a correct power. The latency in games is acceptable thanks to the Bluetooth 5.2 connection that improves considerably compared to version 4.

  • Connection: Bluetooth 5.2 / 10 meters.
  • Codecs: AAC / SBC.

We can download the HHOGene app to have full control of our auricular. With this app, we can see the charge status of all the batteries and update the firmware if necessary.

Using this app we can change the lighting colors with a series of pre-defined styles, we can also use our own image or take a photo to change the lighting of the headphones with our own content, we have more than 300,000 combinations. It is also possible to change the movement of the lighting with four types of effect. From the app we can activate the ANC modes, with active, transparent and off.

Conclusion and buy link

Rating

Opinion

After reviewing the HHOGene GPods earphones, we can say that we are facing a very original and unique headphones for its RGB lighting. No doubt we will draw attention with the lighting effects and interchangeable side shells. These headphones have Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity fast and efficient, it offers a low latency for our games on mobile. The microphone system is quite simple, the noise cancellation system is not very powerful, it does its job for calls and audio recording.

The HHOGene GPods headphones have a pretty good sound, thanks to the 10 mm dynamic drivers we have a fairly defined bass and treble, but if we are looking for maximum volume and quality, they are not spectacular in that aspect. The real autonomy offers us about 5 hours with volume at 50%, with the big box included it is possible to get an extra 20 hours easily. The touch control system is functional, it is worth mentioning the app for managing the lighting system and earphones controls, which is quite good.

Undoubtedly, the HHOGene GPods offer us a very original and attractive headphones. If we are looking for something different, and we are passionate about RGB LED lighting, this is definitely your product.
