![]() ![]() That's before you start adjusting the EQ via the RHA app which offers a series of four presets although no way of creating your own settings. We switched over to something a little calmer like John Legend's All Of Me and felt suitably captivated. Mids are suitably detailed whether you're listening to Under Pressure or Childish Gambino's Feels Like Summer. ![]() Switching over to something we know far better like David Bowie's Under Pressure and The Beatles' Michelle, it was obvious that the RHA TrueControl ANC are good at picking up the nuances of a song that lesser earphones don't always notice. We started out with the latest Foo Fighters' album Medicine at Midnight and all sounded suitably powerful and bassy – though not too bassy. Find the right fit though, and the RHA TrueControl ANC are a revelation. At first, with imperfect tips, everything sounded decent enough. Usually, the standard tips work just fine for our ears, but these took a little bit of figuring out. The RHA TrueControl ANC sound great once you find the right ear tips for you. (Image credit: TechRadar) Audio performance and noise cancellation In some ways, it feels like it was designed more for style than for practicality. Also, bear in mind that initially the case can be a little confusing to open up and get the earbuds on the correct side. Both the case and earbuds are fingerprint magnets, so enjoy the spotless look while it lasts. It is bulky though – a little heavier than other charging cases and surprisingly large in small hands too. Wireless charging is included, and the case contains LED lights to indicate how much charge the case has remaining. ![]() It's the same one that RHA has used for other earbuds, with a rotating barrel and a black aluminum frame that looks rather classy and business-like. The carrying case that comes with the RHA TrueControl ANC is chunky – much like the earbuds themselves. In particular, the quality of noise cancellation is massively affected by how snug a fit you find – but more on that later. There's sure to be one size that works for you and it's worth spending the time to figure it out. The key to finding the best fit for the RHA TrueControl ANC is to experiment with the wealth of eartips that come bundled with them. Crucially, it means a far firmer fit which means more effective noise cancellation, along with a more secure design if you're running while wearing them. ![]() That's because they're contoured to fit directly into your ear, as opposed to models like the Apple AirPods, which hang down with protruding stems. The RHA TrueControl ANC are a chunky fit for anyone's ears. Extra features like touch controls that aren't a nuisance and ANC are sure to encourage you even further into a purchase. For once, these are earphones you'll need to spend a bit of time getting just right but it's worth it. They feel a little expensive until you realise what a difference a wealth of ear tip options can provide. Still, despite those minor issues, the RHA TrueControl ANC are pretty competent. A choice of wireless charging or USB-C is welcomed but a longer battery life at this price point would have been even more appreciated. Five hours worth of charge is possible on the earbuds with up to 20 hours in total once you include the wireless charging case. A tap and hold of the left earbud soon takes you back to the real world when needed.īattery life is fine but solely fine. Switch up to something like David Bowie's Under Pressure and you can hear every tiny detail to the track.Īctive noise cancellation works at its best once you've figured out the ear tip options, with an ambient mode that can be tweaked accordingly via the RHA app, depending on how much external noise you want blocked out. Bass is powerful and exciting but never overwhelmingly so which is perfect for the latest Foo Fighters album. Once you do find it, music feels sharp and detailed during all the right moments. Again, stick with it and find the right fit for you. That goes even more so for getting the right seal to ensure ANC is effective, as otherwise, it can seem pretty weak. It's still possible to mistap, especially when removing an earbud, but it's far easier to use the controls than with many other wireless earbuds on the market, and we truly appreciated that.Īudio performance is pretty strong although it's improved massively by finding the right eartips for your ears. Each earbud has a capacitive touch surface instead of a motion sensor. ![]()
