Wireless TWS earbuds are essential nowadays. They provide a lot of convenience compared to wired earphones. Aside from audio quality and battery life, we can't always forget to look for the most beautiful TWS earphones our hands can get on.
Welcoming October with a bang, the Swedish company (Yes, Sudio) that produces elegant and minimalistic audio devices is back with Sudio T2, the latest generation of the best-selling Sudio Tolv. The upgraded version looks the same on the outside but packs in active noise cancellation (ANC) to deliver even better listening pleasure and improved microphone technology. “Beamforming” microphones, to be precise. On paper, Sudio T2 also boasts of its Bluetooth 5.2 (SBC codec), 8mm dynamic driver, and is splash-proof.
I recently got the chance to test out their latest and attractive Sudio T2.
In this Sudio T2 review, I'll answer the questions to help you decide if it is worth making the switch from your current TWS earbuds.
Unboxing
The unit arrived in a square, white box with the product's render in front. Inside, you'll find the unit, charging case, three extra ear tips in different sizes, USB-C cable, paper manual, and warranty card.
Build Quality
The Sudio T2 charging case is made of high-quality polycarbonate with a smooth velvety finish. The buds are also made from the same materials as the charging case. It won't slip as easily because of the texture. It comes with a tassel made of flexible and soft fabric. The charging case sports a pebble shape with the LED indicator and charging port at the back, a pairing button at the bottom and Sudio branding in front.

Clean and Aesthetic Design
The new T2 looks good, featuring a minimalistic, elegant, design. Each earbud comes with a textured, metallic silver touch-sensitive button. The tiny concentric circles on each button nicely reflect the light. An LED indicator is also present, that lights up white upon opening of the case which means the buds are fully charged and red when they're low in battery. Sudio claims that the T2 is splash-proof, but it does not have an IP rating.
The earbuds have right and left markings with the brand just below them as well as a microphone, silver chrome design, and mesh filter.
Colors
It is available in four colors: white, black, jade, and sand. Also glad that they continued the color Sand from Sudio NIO to Sudio T2. I went for the basic black. If you're up to pastel colors, Sand and Jade are aesthetically pleasing.
Comfort
By default, the medium ear tips accompany the buds. I find it perfect for my ears so I didn't have to change them. But in case this doesn't suit you, you can choose from XS, S, and L ear tip sizes provided in the package for a better fit. Exercise won't be a problem, you won't have to worry about it falling off. The Sudio T2 is also sweat and splashproof, so that means going out for a run, getting caught in light drizzle are not problems you need to worry about. You shouldn’t have to, anyway.
Pairing and Touch Controls
 |
| Connection with iPad |
Sudio T2 can be paired on any Android, Apple, Windows and Linux devices. Once paired, you only have to open the case and it will automatically connects to the device.
Touch control for the T2 is activated by touches and holds on the metallic surface of either earbud. In other words, similar to recent Sudio products.
For music/video playback
1. Touch once on either earbud (left or right) to play or pause.
2. Touch twice on the left earbud to rewind.
3. Touch twice on the right earbud to go forward.
4. Touch three times on the left earbud to decrease volume.
5. Touch three times on the right earbud to increase volume.
Incoming phone calls
1. Touch once on either earbud (left or right) to accept a phone call.
2. Touch (hold) for three seconds on either earbud (left or right) to reject or end a phone call.
Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode
1. Touch (hold) for two seconds on either earbud (left or right) to cycle between normal mode, active noise cancellation mode, and transparency mode.
Power
1. Touch (hold) for five seconds on either earbud (left or right) to power on (single earbud)
2. Touch (hold) for five seconds on either earbud to power off (both earbuds). After 2 seconds the listening mode will change, followed by sound off.
Sound Quality
Audio, of course, is the most important feature in every TWS earphones.
To me, the sound quality of the Sudio T2 is awesome. It produces more pronounced basses and sounds that are deep. Overall, the Sudio T2 delivers balanced, beautiful, and very enjoyable audio. It won't disappoint casual users like me.
Now, for the ANC. Active noise cancellation on the Sudio T2 is quite subtle. The level of noise reduction is not really that significant. It's interesting that Sudio T2 also has a mode that amplifies the environment sound.
Using the Sudio T2 for WFH meetings or Online Distance Learning is possible too, with its improved microphone technology and “Beamforming” microphones which see a microphone array in each wireless earbud: one pointing outwards while the other is aimed towards the user’s mouth. The earbuds simultaneously captures both voice and ambient sounds before an internal signal processing algorithm processes the sounds to reduce environmental noise to ensure voice clarity.
Battery
Sudio claims that the T2 offers up to 7.5 hours listening time and 35 hours battery life using the charging case or 6.5 hours when active noise cancellation is turned on. If you do need to charge up the earbuds urgently, the quick charge gets you 2 hours of listening time with just a 10 minute charge.
Best Price, Free Worldwide Delivery and Warranty
Sudio T2 retails at MYR549.00/129 USD with free worldwide shipping and 3 years international warranty with Sudio Sphere.
VERDICT
With an ergonomic design, long battery life, great ANC technology, attractive colors, and good audio quality, the Sudio T2 is music to the ears for most people. I think these wireless earbuds are great for all types of use, including exercising with, meetings and movie watching. If you’re an audiophile expecting the best earbuds, you’ve got to look elsewhere.
The Sudio T2 can easily capture anyone's attention thanks to its aesthetic, clean design. Not to mention the colors are eye-catching. In my one month of testing Sudio T2 as an average consumer, I'm very pleased with the overall quality, sound and build of the earphones. It's fairly priced, has good aesthetics and are a comfortable pair of earbuds.
