AWEI TS-150vi In-Ear Headphones Review

Good audio, affordable price. That is what most people, especially music lovers, are looking for when it comes to headphones. These are hard to come by as most good audio products command an expensive price tag. The AWEI TS-150vi In-Ear Headphones beg to differ though. This pair is capable of producing good sounds at a very low cost. Find out how good by reading our review below.

Design and Construction

The first thing you’ll notice about the TS-150vi is its sporty design. The cables come in red while the housings, in-line mic/controls, and jack come in black. The color combination makes it look more at home in the gym or outside when you’re out for a run or bike.

The housings are made of metal, small, slim and looks discreet. It’s color coded as well – blue for left and red for right. However, they’re longer compared to some in-ear headphones like the Mi Piston V2 but definitely shorter and smaller than the Sol Republic Amps.

The TS-150vi features an in-line mic with controls. Unlike most headphones with controls optimized for iOS devices, this one works with our Android device well. We can play, pause, skip tracks, launch our Google device’s voice controls with ease, and use it during calls as well with no problem.

The headphones fit comfortably in our ears. But since it has a longer body, it feels like it is sticking out more than what we are accustomed to. It’s not a downer though as it is snug and doesn’t easily fall out from our ears. Just make sure you pick the right size from the four pairs of sleeves that come in the package.

Sound quality

Most in-ear headphones we’ve reviewed so far take pride for being bassy. The TS-150vi makes no claim though but only mentions that it is “for all kinds of music”. Ideally those are the types we’re looking for so we put it to the test using different tracks to see how it goes.

First up are Bass rich Hip Hop and Club tracks. The TS-150vi is good in delivering High Bass but starts to lose that oomph as it goes further down the frequency, like it’s lacking power when it’s time to deliver those deep booming and rumbling sounds. We believe that the TS-150vi is playing it safe in that range as to not sound muddy or too thick.

RnB, Acoustic, Jazz and Rock, these are type of music where the TS-150vi really shines. Sounds are articulate, brilliant, and crisp. If you’re one of those that are particular about the clarity in the vocals, guitars, and percussion, the TS-150vi can deliver. However we noticed that it tends to become too sibilant and tinny on higher volumes. The lack of power when it comes to low bass makes it very evident.

Conclusion

Overall, the TS-150vi is capable of producing sounds of acceptable to good quality. It’s good with RnB, Acoustic, Jazz and Rock music but falls a bit short when it comes to the bassy Hip Hop and Club. Design-wise, its sporty look should appeal to people with active lifestyles. Quality-wise, it feels cheap which is the same thing I can say for its price. The Awei TS-150vi only costs Php490 which is less expensive than most in-ear headphones out there. It’s even more affordable than the Php695 Xiaomi Mi Piston V2.

So is the Awei TS-150vi worth getting? Only if your budget is Php500. It may not be great but its way better than most stock earphones that are included with your smartphones.

    Oh my God… Nagpunta ako sa Gateway Branch ng NV7 para bumili ng Awei na yan and ng matest ko lahat ng Awei na nandun hindi ko ineexpect na sa 480 na price ay ganyan ang lupit ng quality at yung sound ay superb. Gusto ko bilhin lahat ng Model meron pa tag 280 Pesos na Awei natatawa ako bakit ganun ang presyo ang mura para sa Quality ng earphone. Basta guys promise di kayo magsisisi katulad ng sinabi ng comment sa taas. Gusto ko bilhin lahat kase ang mura. =D

    I had Awei headset before, I bought it from Lazada, it is cheap, but the quality is superb. Di kayo magsisisi pagbibilhin nyo to. Currently the model I had is not available at Lazada but they’re currently selling another set of models which I think and I believe would be much better. Try it guys, it would not really hurt your pocket.

    is the sound anywhere near the mi pistons?

    • Avatar for Louie Diangson Louie Diangson says:

      The Mi Piston V2 is more aggressive with the lows and highs. The Awei is conservative. I like the way how the Awei handles the highs though. But if you like powerful bass, go for Pistons.
