12 Exciting True Wireless Earbuds Trends 2019

We’re taking a look at True Wireless Earbuds and upcoming True Wireless Earbuds trends of 2019 to help you make the most of them.

In our modern, digital age, there’s one thing that is truly frustrating: wires. Earphone wires can get easily tangled and keep you tethered to your device. And as technology advances, wired headphones are becoming incompatible with more and more devices.

Many people are trying to put an end to cable clutter and are opting for true wireless earbuds in 2019.

And it makes total sense.

These days, more companies are releasing earbuds that do not require auxiliary inputs to output audio. In addition, many new smart devices have very few input ports (think of the iPhone), so it’s a wise move to opt for wireless earbuds.

Today, we are talking about the True Wireless earbud trends. Who knows, you may be compelled to go wireless after you’re done reading this post!

Without further ado, let’s get right to it.

The Main True Wireless Earbuds Trends in 2019

1.Hearing Protection with Advanced Active Noise Cancelling Technology

When noise cancelling technology was first introduced, it was very expensive and only used by pilots in aircrafts. Today, the technology has become much cheaper, with high quality ANC being available at different price tags. And with True Wireless being the future of earbuds, it will no doubt take full advantage of this incredible tech.

One of the biggest benefits of advanced noise cancelling technology is how it protects your hearing. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), listening to loud sounds at 100 decibels and above for 2 hours can damage the ears. Most of the upcoming true wireless earbuds in 2019 feature noise cancelling technology, and we’re predicting this trend isn’t going to slow. Protecting your hearing by getting rid of ambient sound, which means you can listen to music at a lower volume and with greater clarity; amazing!

2. Superior Quality Streaming Sound

In the past, getting wireless headphones meant sacrificing sound quality in order to embrace Bluetooth connectivity. That’s no longer the case. While the Bluetooth chips in our phones today are not yet capable of streaming video, the newest version of Bluetooth is very capable of streaming high-quality audio.

Bluetooth works by compression, it usually eliminates parts of the audio signal it deems unnecessary. MP3s also function the same way, they remove part of the frequency human ears can’t hear. Bluetooth streaming has grown in leaps and bounds, so for most people, there will be virtually no difference in sound quality. And some versions of Bluetooth claim to sound better — like aptX. All these advances mean that we predict that one of the True Wireless earbud trends of 2019 is going to be superior quality streaming sound.

3. Lower Battery Consumption

Another trend we are seeing in upcoming true wireless earbuds in 2019 is lower battery consumption. We know that recharging wireless headphones can be a pain, even for the most organized person. That’s why we are happy to report that going wireless is about to become much easier.

A lot of the wireless headphones released by major brands this year have extraordinarily long battery life. We attribute a major part of this evolutionary leap to battery efficiency, which is partly because of new Bluetooth chips such as Qualcomm’s QC3026. It is one of the new-generation Bluetooth chips that have been designed to greatly improve the battery standard through very efficient Bluetooth transmission. What’s more, the introduction of 5G might elongate battery life – a big might, but definitely a trend we’re keeping an eye on!

4. 360-Degree Reality Audio

The audio world has progressed and people are now looking for more than 2 audio channels.

Enter 360-degree reality audio.

The audio format is comprised of object-based channels (approximately 24) organized in a 360° soundstage. 360-degree reality audio is a great attempt to produce a new music format that’s intended to be streamed on mobile streaming platforms and played via compatible headphones. Music producers will now need to start creating object-based audio – watch this space.

5. AI Voice Assistant Trigger

According to a report released by Qualcomm in August 2018, people purchase wireless headphones with AI voice assistance for 3 major reasons: to gather fitness and health data, to ditch the screen, and to get GPS directions.

Wireless headphones and earbuds now include virtual assistant support for Apple’s Siri, Amazon’s Alexa, Microsoft’s Cortana, and Google Assistant. People are now using wireless headphones and earbuds to get voice assistant updates on news, the weather, messaging, and even email. In the future, all we may need to stay connected is voice UI via hearable devices.

6. Bluetooth Smart Voice of Intelligent Wearable Devices

Working in partnership with technologies like Bluetooth, voice assistant platforms have come of age. The two are now able to solve old problems across multiple verticals. And as machine learning continues to improve voice assistant platforms, the platforms are learning new skills — like interacting with other technologies such as Bluetooth.

In fact, major companies like Amazon have cooperated with Bluetooth chip manufacturers so as to incorporate their own Bluetooth voice protocol into the chips. Wearable devices can now be paired seamlessly with phone apps, allowing users to have smooth and synchronous speech interaction as well as access to services and resources. Expect this tech to develop further in the future.

7. Fitness Tracker

There’s no need to wear both a fitness tracker and earbuds when there are smart earbuds on the market that function as fitness trackers. While it is still debatable whether smart earbuds are as accurate as wristbands and heart rate monitors, there’s no denying the fact that earbuds are much more convenient.

Some wireless earbuds of 2019 feature heart rate sensors to provide you with heart rate detection and real-time data feedback. The most common sensors used in earbuds are optical sensors, hall effect sensors, and gyroscopes.

Artificial Intelligent Voice (AI Voice) can function as your AI coach as you use true wireless earbuds to stay healthy. We think more and more companies are going to take on these features for the upcoming True Wireless earbuds.

8. AI Translation Function

Back in 2017, Google launched a pair of wireless headphones that incorporated a voice assistant feature. The headphones can translate more than 40 languages in real time and are an extension of Google Translate. With integration, you can use Google’s AI Assistant without fidgeting with your phone.

We have a feeling that more upcoming true wireless earbuds in 2019 will feature AI translation function as manufacturers become more interested in earbuds with built-in translators. And lets face it, it’s a pretty cool function that feels like the future is here!

9. Voice Biometrics Authentication

This new user identity detection solution offers speaker verification and identification. Unlike voiceprint recognition, it provides a higher level of security and is ideal for scenarios that require voice payment via headphones.

Voice biometrics authentication is now being added to upcoming true wireless earbuds in 2019 and can be used for tracking conversations with personal assistants, registering personal information, unlocking the phone, and even profile switching.

10. Audio Gadgets Made By Recycled Material

According to research, 20-50 million metric tons of electronic waste are disposed of every year across the world. This waste accounts for a massive 70% of all toxic waste. This may sound pretty grim, but the good news is top tech companies are working to change that.

One of the biggest True Wireless earbuds trends of 2019 is tech companies using recycled materials to manufacture products. At last, the tech world is starting to take the environmental crisis seriously! Using sustainable recycled materials, manufacturers are now creating eco-friendly products that appeal to an eco-conscious customer base. A trend that’s good for you and good for the planet.

11. More Comfortable Wearing Experience

We all have different head shapes and sizes, but pretty much anybody who tries wireless earbuds comments on how comfortable they are. You don’t have to settle for uncomfortable headphones that put pressure on your head and ear cartilage and negatively affect your listening experience.

New-generation earbuds add to the sweetness of music. Like ear whisperers, they fit nicely in your ears and wrap you in beautiful audio, becoming totally inconspicuous. The difference in comfort is immediately noticeable, and is something tech companies will continue to improve on.

12. Connectivity Improvements

One of the best features of True Wireless earbuds is their improved connectivity. If you have used Bluetooth earbuds before, you know that the environment can negatively affect the performance of the earbuds. For example, connectivity may be affected when you put your phone in your pocket.

The distance usually makes a difference because the Bluetooth signal has to travel a longer distance and transmit your media in a timely manner. While there isn’t a lot you can do about the environmental barriers, you can get high-quality true wireless earbuds featuring improved connectivity. As True Wireless earbuds improve, there will be a load of different sets to try out!

How Do TaoTronics True Wireless Headphones Meet These New True Wireless Earbuds Trends?

TaoTronics pride themselves on making some of the best budget headphones around. In fact, the TaoTronics true wireless headphones offer the best of both worlds: a great price and reliable Bluetooth performance. We love their easy pairing process, multiple listening modes, and lower battery consumption.

The True Wireless earbuds, particularly the SoundLiberty 53, are making the best of True Wireless trends by featuring a noise isolating design and silicone tips that close off your ear canals and muffle the noise around you. They provide a comfortable wearing experience over longer listening sessions and fit the ears securely, which is vital for maximizing sound quality and bass response. What’s more, they also offer greater connectivity.

In Closing

Ultimately, predicting True Wireless earbuds trends is somewhat an inaccurate art. A lot of cool technologies are released every year, but they never take off. On the other hand, a single technological breakthrough may come along and revolutionize the entire industry in a short period.

Over the last few months, we have noticed a few trends taking shape. While we can’t say for sure which ones will take off and which ones will flop, these are our predictions for 2019.
