Since around 2017, completely wireless earphones (TWS) have been on the rise. In the completely wireless earphone industry, new products are appearing one after another, with new features, higher sound quality, and lower prices. In this issue, we will review the " PistonBuds Pro " from the audio equipment brand " 1MORE "! This is a super-cost-effective product with active noise canceling and equalizer functions at a price of less than 9,000 yen (including tax )!

The contents are as follows.

If one earphone does not respond, click the button on the charging case three times to enter pairing mode again. To cancel pairing, press and hold the button on the charging case for 8 seconds!
The small size of the device means it is lightweight! The fit is almost non-existent and does not bother you at all when you wear it. Earpieces of different sizes are included, so there is sure to be a size that fits.

Burn-In
Click on the logo in the upper right corner of the application and you will find a section called " Smart Burn-In ". Burn-in is used to "break-in" a device in its factory condition to stabilize and improve its performance. The application also includes an explanation of burn-in, so I will quote a portion of it here.
Q. What is burn-in? What kind of earphones do I need to burn-in?
A. It is required for newly purchased earphones. Since they are not tuned very well at the factory, the capacitors, transistors, circuitry and other electrical parameters are not very stable, and the mechanical properties of the diaphragms are terrible and inflexible. Therefore, the customer must tune the earphones manually, and "breaking in" them for a certain period of time is called burn-in. Burn-in is the process of gradually improving the sound quality of a new set of earphones. Burn-in is not only suitable for newly purchased earphones, but also for older earphones that have not been used for a long time.
Q. How long does it take to burn-in the earphones to get a taste?
A. The burn-in time varies depending on the type of headphones. Some are good for tens of hours, while others take hundreds of hours. Please do not be in a hurry to burn-in.
When you start the burn-in process, the progress will be displayed. It will take about 12 hours to complete the entire process, but you can pause and resume it in the middle. If you run it while you are working or sleeping, you will likely complete the burn-in quickly. It's for good sound. Think of it as a necessary expense!
