Ultima has just unveiled its latest addition to the true wireless stereo (TWS) lineup: the Atom Buds 2. These new earbuds aim to offer a reliable audio experience without breaking the bank, fitting perfectly into the budget-friendly segment. If you’re searching for dependable TWS earbuds that deliver solid performance for their price, the Atom Buds 2 might be exactly what you need.
Ultima Atom Buds 2: A Closer Look
Design and Durability
The Atom Buds 2 are crafted with a soft-touch rubberized finish, providing a comfortable feel. They boast an IPX4 water resistance rating, meaning they can easily handle splashes and sweat during workouts or light rain. However, they are not designed for full water immersion. You can choose from three sleek colors: Ebony Black, Pebble Grey, and Pebble Blue. For everyday convenience, the earbuds feature intuitive touch controls, allowing you to manage music playback, handle calls, and access voice assistants like Google Assistant or Siri with ease.
Immersive Audio and Noise Management
Ultima has equipped the Atom Buds 2 with dual 10mm drivers, enhanced by their “Supreme Sound” tuning for a rich audio output. A standout feature for this price point is the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), which can reduce ambient sounds by up to 32dB, letting you dive into your music without distractions. When you need to stay aware of your surroundings, the transparency mode comes in handy. For crystal-clear calls, the earbuds integrate quad microphones with Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) to filter out background noise. While they support standard AAC and SBC audio codecs, typical for this segment, they do not offer Hi-Res audio support.
Battery Life and Seamless Connectivity
Battery performance on the Atom Buds 2 is quite impressive. You can enjoy up to 7 hours of continuous playback on a single charge when ANC is off, and around 5.5 hours with ANC activated. The charging case extends this significantly, providing a total of up to 120 hours of listening time at 60% volume, thanks to multiple recharges. When you’re short on time, a quick 10-minute charge via the USB Type-C port can provide an additional 2 hours of playback. Connectivity is handled by Bluetooth 5.4, which includes useful features like multipoint connectivity, allowing you to connect to two devices simultaneously, and IWP instant pairing for quick setup. The earbuds also feature a 50ms low-latency gaming mode, perfect for mobile gamers.
