REVIEW: TCL MOVEAUDIO S600 Bluetooth headset 2j6x55

A TCL is a company best known in the smart TV market, but which also launches smart watches, smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices. O MOVEAUDIO S600 reaches the Brazilian market with the proposal of being a wireless headphone with autonomy of several days and still has good sound, but there are details in its usability that can be a real nuisance for some types of s. 6m6k47

We tested the model by 10 days to know how far it can go and you can check all the details right here in this review.

Design and construction 5k2i6f

Simple, small and effective. In addition to the two rubbers included in the models, you can also choose the best ones according to the size and shape of your ear, as four other pairs are sent. A USB-C cable is also in the box, without sending a power source.

The charging case is very simple and fulfills the proposal: recharge and store the headphones, with a size that fits in the palm of the hand and in any pants/shorts pocket. Throwing it in your backpack won't be a problem either, and just put the earbuds back for charging to take place.

About the fit of the headphones in the ears, I was quite impressed with how well it was adjusted. It is noteworthy that, despite not being recommended, I was able to use the model for an entire working day without any pain or discomfort.

I found the wireless headset from TCL quite simple and, at the same time, quite functional. It fits well in your ear and its wear sensor allows music to be paused when you take it out of your ear. As soon as you put it back, the sound will play again. It's a very simple feature, but it makes a difference in everyday life.

the loading of CASE​ it is done through a USB-C connection and there is a led to indicate the battery percentage: green for fully recharged and red for low battery. The white LED indicates that the MOVEAUDIO S600 is in pairing mode, looking for devices to connect.

Usage and connectivity 4c5pl

With a location sensor that allows access to the Google Fast Pair Service (similar to Apple models, which can be located once the charging case is opened), I was somewhat surprised at how quickly the model connects. My smartphone, a Realme 9 Pro +, which runs Android 12, identified the MOVEAUDIO S600 and started helping me configure it to work with the Google Assistant.

But I also had some problems using it. You simply cannot have connected the headset to your cell phone and then opened this app. The sound will start to freeze and you will need to disconnect the headset from the smartphone, stop the sound and then connect to the TCL Connect. If you need to change any audio settings, this “trick” is quite tiring.

The headset is also unable to change the equalizer details directly in the app. And when connected to the app, some playback errors happen on the headset. In other words, the biggest problem is in the TCL Connect, available to Android e iOS.

The use of gestures is pretty assertive, but it would be even more useful if you didn't have to choose the function instead of all of them being available simultaneously. This leaves us with four options, with two of which can be activated on each of the two headphones:

• Playback control (play, pause, next song or previous song);
• Sound isolation control;
• Google Assistant activation;
• Volume control.

And the headset cannot connect to two devices simultaneously, which forces you to choose between one or the other. All app bugs can be fixed with a simple update, but until then, this is an issue that detracts from the overall experience.

I also need to comment on the positives: usage detection is a pretty important hit. At times when external audio cancellation is activated, taking the headphones off and having the music stopped without having to touch the main device helps a lot.

Microphones can be activated together by Google Assistant so that you ask for some functionality for the smartphone. My best use of this was giving the command to play an album or playlist on Spotify. As soon as I said “Ok Google”, the assistant was ready and understood everything from the first request.

Audio 3n1j5g

Since the application is the biggest problem of the MOVEAUDIO S600, at least he guarantees to deliver a good sound from different genres. My playlist really has everything and I could see that the phone did very well compared to the headphone model wireless that I use in my day to day, a One Odio A70. Guitar sounds were delivered with a good quality, but I noticed a little muffling in low voice tones. It's nothing that completely bothers you, but it could be better executed in practice.

About noise cancellation, it has two modes: transparency and noise cancellation. The former allows more external sound input, which was a good option for when I was walking down the street. The second works as a “vacuum”, blocking everything that is in the outside world so that only the sound of the music or call application is heard.

I liked the second one better, although the feeling of having everything isolated was a little strange in the first few moments. But you get used to it. I still think that the model's sound could be controlled by an equalizer in the app itself, but this can still be done in the Spotify app itself or smartphone settings, so the lack wasn't even that apparent.

In the most, the TCL MOVEAUDIO S600 it has speakers and microphones that manage to deliver good sound and external noise cancellation noticed in the first use. The more isolated noise cancellation is the highlight and its maximum volume can really be enjoyed, but be careful not to use it for a long time so that your hearing is not damaged.

Battery and autonomy 272fy

Another success of TCL's wireless headphones is the good battery life. The company promises a maximum uptime of 32 hours with all features, which for me means working Monday through Thursday without a hitch. In my day to day life, I reached a total of 30 hours: around 16 pm on the fourth day of use, I had to turn the model off.

What I did to test the battery was: after a full day of work, I'd put the headphones back in their charging case to use the next day. This worked for 30 hours and the case charging time was two hours when using my 65W charger.

For an entry-level model that can compete directly with the Freebuds 5i by HUAWEI, MOVEAUDIO S600 manages to do well in of drums, so here we have another big hit after the sound and good design.

Conclusion 60664y

With everything to be a perfect bluetooth headset, the MOVEAUDIO S600 da TCL the obstacle is the application, which impairs the overall experience. Accessing the basic settings is difficult and, honestly, I even preferred to leave it aside so as not to completely compromise its use.

I accessed the app only to toggle mute modes on and off and change gesture settings. The good news is that you can still check some information, such as the remaining battery percentage on your smartphone's system. This even “outsources” the application. But everything would be even better if the application was useful.

Despite this, the headphones manage to deliver a good sound, reasonable design and experience for most s. Its battery is also another big highlight, reaching a maximum of 30 hours before it is necessary to put the charging case in the socket. If you do this every night, you'll pretty much have an "infinite battery" headset.

The model is not yet being officially sold by TCL, being found abroad for US$ 99. According to the experience delivered, the price for the entry-level category is reasonable and it will certainly be a great partner in your routine. For now, I would still invest in the Freebuds 5i by HUAWEI, that works as well as the model of TCL, but it has better usability — and is already available in the Brazilian market.
