Introduction:-

Hey guys, today I have the EPZ S30 with me for review. Its an Open ear style TWS or OWS as its called. These are the budget versions of the EPZ s80 I reviewed.

I have also shared a video version of the review at YouTube any support there in form of a view, A like or A subscribe is greatly appreciated. But if you so wish to read the written version you can read this.

These are a review unit from EPZ but all the thoughts and opinions are my own.

I will be as usual following my bullet style format for better readability for those who are dyslexic and in general find it hard to read long paragraphs. I follow this guide in general from the British Dyslexia Association.



Lets get started!

Review:-



1. Before I talk about the sound, I want to say one thing is that these are OWS so you shouldn’t be expecting sound quality of them like you would expect from any iem or even any earbuds



2. So lets talk about some basic specs now



3. It has Bluetooth 5.3, the bluetooth chip used is Jerry7003 it supports only sbc and aac codec



4. The battery is rated for 7 hours on the buds and 21 hours on the case



5. It has a 16.2mm Dynamic driver



6. It is IPX4 waterproof which is nice for your work outs and gym



7. I used these while working out and found no issues when sweating



8. It has a gaming mode which can be activated by triple tapping the left earbud and entering this mode the latency reduces to 45ms.



9. Now talking about the comfort these are really comfortable for the first few hours, but after hour or 2 I did had some issues



10. On my left earbud I did feel a pressure on my earlobe.



11. Also the wing adjusting mechanism although was done to accommodate more ears, but its just so bad



12. Everytime I have to wear the TWS I have to adjust the bud and put it on my ear and then when I am done I have to readjust it to its original and put into the case.



13. This is probably the biggest hindrance I had whilst using it.



14. Now talking about the sound quality these are quite meh.



15. They are very bright sounding and almost unbearable to wear if you go above the 50-60% volume. I know they are a budget pair of OWS. But I will talk about another budget OWS which is priced similarly and much better than this.



16. The volume range compared to its elder brother is much better here as from the lowest volume level to about 50-60% the increase in volume is quite linear.



17. Now as I did say they were bright but its only at higher volumes, but if you are listening to it at low volume lets say under 50% then you are ok.



18. So that makes it ok to wear if you want it for your office wear or just casually in the house. But if you go outside or go for workout you have to turn the volume up and when you go above that 50-60% mark it becomes too bright.



19. The soundstage as its an OWS is quite good.



20. The material used is really comfortable to wear and caused no irritation as such even after I was sweating



21. Now compared to the similarly prices Fiio Jade audio JW1, I will pick the JW1 anyday of the week. Even though the JW1 has no adjustable hooks they sound a lot better than the S30.



22. Now that was my s30 review. It regularly goes on sale for $15. If you get it at that price then its a good buy. But I wont suggest buying it at its full MSRP as at that price range the Fiio JW1 makes a better purchase



23. If you are new into OWS and want to try something, I highly suggest trying these out if you get them on sale for $15-17. As they regularly goes on sale.



24. So yeah thats my review of the S30. Please do comment if you have any doubts or questions. Thanks for stopping by!
