FiiTii is making a name for itself as a maker of unique and clever earbuds, and with the HiFiAir we have a budget set of earbuds for teenagers with noise cancelling and an incredible IPX7 waterproof rating.

The HiFiAir can be enjoyed by anybody, of course, but it’s positioned at teenagers which means it includes key features that help serve that market whose budget is limited. Yes, there are very high-end and expensive earbuds and headsets from certain well-known brands, but if you’re a teenager you want to spend your money wisely, while still ensuring value. Here’s where the FiiTii HiFiAir delivers; it looks stylish, it has great sound, it brings noise cancellation, has good battery life, survives a splashing, and does it all for a low price.

First, the FiiTii HiFiAir earbuds support Bluetooth 5.2, have mono and dual phone call functions, offer touch controls to play and pause and skip tracks, and provide a low latency mode to ensure what you see and what you hear are in sync when playing games and videos.

The IPX7 rating is outstanding for earbuds, especially at this price. IPX7 is one of the highest ingress protection (the ‘IP’ in ‘IPX7’) ratings and means the earbuds are durable enough to survive after being submerged in up to three feet, or 90cm, of water for 30 minutes. This doesn’t mean you should go swimming with your earbuds in, but you don’t have to worry about dropping them in the dog’s water bowl or getting them a little wet. Note the ‘X” means there is no information about the earbud’s resistance to dust, but this is not uncommon for earbuds.

The built-in active noise cancelling (ANC) can eliminate up to 35 decibels of noise like fellow commuters, people talking around you, and a range of other noises. This means you can tune out things around you and enjoy your music and podcasts and other media. To be clear, 35dB won’t tune out everything - a vacuum cleaner, for example, typically makes a noise at 75dB - but for riding the bus to school or work, or taking a train, you should find these more than adequate.

Additionally, the earbuds include environmental noise cancellation (ENC) which cleverly uses the microphones to isolate your voice from the background so not only do you eliminate noise in what you hear (the ANC) but those you are speaking with also get the benefit of noise reduction, making your voice crisp. Make “can you hear me?” a thing of the past!

And, importantly, the earbuds are super light. They come in at only 3.8g each and the box includes three sizes of ear caps so you can find the right fit that provides you with maximum comfort.

There are two options; one with dynamic bass - which iTWire tested out - and one with hybrid drivers. For clarity, drivers are the part of the earbuds (or headsets) that vibrate and “drive” air into your ear canal. This vibration is how sound is created; well, how sound waves are created, which your ear receives and converts into sound. Essentially, the driver converts electrical energy into acoustic elements.

A dynamic driver has more room to vibrate which means it can produce more responsive bass. So, if you prefer punchier bass in your music then a dynamic driver is a good way to go. A hybrid driver combines different forms of drivers to provide powerful bass and high-resolution clarity. Of course, there’s a trade-off in cost. The dynamic bass version iTWire tried retail for $US 49.99, while the hybrid driver version is $US 59.99. This doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with the dynamic driver version in any way. iTWire has been using it and still enjoyed great lows, mids, and highs, along with booming bass. And, if your music is bass-heavy, the dynamic driver will definitely do the job admirably.

You can find both options at the official FiiTii brand shop (PayPal payment only) and the dynamic bass model at Amazon Australia, US, UK, and Canada.

Note the box does not include a charging cable, but it does include the charging case which both securely stores, and charges, your earbuds when not in use.

You should definitely check these out; the FiiTii HiFiAir earbuds offer a great range of features in a good-looking package that provides a durable, good sounding, package. It’s something the teenager in your life can enjoy without breaking the bank.
