HiFuture TidyBuds Pro Review: Long-Lasting Earbuds with a Power Boost

The HiFuture TidyBuds Pro makes a strong case for itself in the crowded budget true wireless earbuds market, primarily due to its standout battery performance. With 8 hours of playback from a single charge and a charging case that offers an additional 96 hours, these earbuds are ideal for users who need music on the go without constant recharging. The case’s large 3000mAh battery can also double as a power bank, providing up to 500 mAh to charge smartphones via a Type-A port, making it a handy travel companion.

The earbuds feature a standard in-ear design with a plastic build and an IPX5 water resistance rating, suitable for workouts. Each bud houses a 70mAh battery and uses 6mm graphene drivers for sound. While the default eartips are small and could be more comfortable, swapping them out for larger ones improves the fit and passive noise isolation, which works well at reducing ambient sound when properly sealed.

Connectivity is handled by Bluetooth 5.0, ensuring a stable link with smartphones, tablets, or laptops. The touch-sensitive controls allow users to play/pause music, adjust volume, and activate voice assistants with taps and long-presses. However, the touch response can be sluggish, often requiring multiple attempts to register commands, and there is no companion app for customization.

Audio performance leans heavily toward bass, which can overpower mids and vocals. During testing, tracks with strong bass lines, such as “all i know” by Machine Gun Kelly and Trippie Redd, sounded deep but lacked clarity in the higher frequencies. Even acoustic pieces like “bloody valentine - Acoustic” felt muffled, with mids and highs failing to stand out. Call quality is another weak point; listeners often reported difficulty hearing the speaker clearly.

Despite these drawbacks, the TidyBuds Pro shines in battery endurance. Regular use at high volume yielded over 5 hours per charge, and the case rarely needed topping up. Charging takes around 2 hours via USB Type-C.

In conclusion, the HiFuture TidyBuds Pro is best suited for users prioritizing long battery life and the convenience of a portable power bank. Those who prefer balanced audio or responsive touch controls may want to consider alternatives like the OPPO Enco W11 or Realme Buds Air 2 Neo, though they come at higher price points.
