Which is why I’ve been on the hunt for affordable earphones with noise-cancelling features, and let me tell you this: boy, they are hard to come by. I was so glad when LUMOS offered to send me their earphones. Yeah, you read that right. Most of us automatically think of projectors when LUMOS is mentioned, because that’s what they are known for. But did you know that LUMOS also produces earphones?

 
LUMOS recently launched the LUMOS TEMPO Wireless Earbuds, with active noise cancelling – perfect for people who have been revenge travelling and hate being disturbed while vibing along to music.

Let’s take the first look at the LUMOS TEMPO Wireless Earbuds.

 
The earphones boast Superior Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) of up to 42db. For context, the industry average is only around 32db. If you aren’t a techie, this means that it can probably muffle the distracting sound of traffic and annoying people talking over your music.

 
If you prefer to have a little ambient noise (so you don’t walk into traffic), you’ll be pleased with LUMOS TEMPO’s Transparency Mode, which picks out and amplifies sound around you without disturbing the quality of your music.

My favourite part of LUMOS TEMPO Wireless Earbuds – and what makes it perfect for travelling – is its long battery life of 30 hours. The world’s longest flight is only around 19 hours, ‘nuff said.

 

Not only can you use LUMOS TEMPO Wireless Earbuds during your travels, it’s great for everyday use too.

 
For one, the earphones are equipped with six mics (three on each side) to capture your voice clearly when you speak to your colleagues or friends. No more asking, “Can you hear me?” during meetings, because you know for sure that they can hear you loud and clear.

If you’re a sports fanatic (or even if you just live in humid Singapore), listen up. LUMOS TEMPO Wireless Earbuds are IPX5 sweat and water-splash proof. What this means in basic English is that you can exercise wearing these earphones without worrying about damaging them *phew* 

With Singapore getting increasingly sweltering, you’ll definitely need a pair of sweat-resistant earphones.
