TIMU Wireless Earbuds vs HAOYUYAN Wireless Earbuds

Our Verdict

The HAOYUYAN and TIMU wireless earbuds both target the budget earbud segment in our current lineup, but they''re built around two completely different priorities. HAOYUYAN focuses on workout-friendly battery life and grip — flexible ear hooks, IPX7 waterproofing, and an 80-hour total playtime that lets you forget the case for weeks. TIMU focuses on active noise cancelling and sound modes — hybrid ANC, five EQ profiles, transparency mode. The right pick depends on whether you''re running with these or commuting with them.

The TIMU is the noise-cancelling pick. Hybrid ANC reduces ambient noise up to 45 decibels — meaningful for plane cabins, open offices, or commute trains where engine and HVAC rumble drown out everything else. Five EQ sound profiles let you switch between bass-heavy, vocal-forward, and balanced tunings, transparency mode lets you hear conversations without removing the buds, and a smart touchscreen on the charging case shows battery and connection status without opening an app. The 14.2mm dynamic drivers deliver a wide soundstage for budget earbuds, Bluetooth 5.4 handles stable connections, and 50 hours of total playtime is generous.

The HAOYUYAN is the workout-and-sport pick. Flexible ear hooks with three sizes of silicone tips physically wrap behind your ear, which keeps the buds in place during running, lifting, or burpees in ways that standard stem-style buds can''t. IPX7 waterproofing handles sweat, rain, and brief submersion. The headline number is 80 hours of total playtime with an LED battery display on the case — roughly double TIMU''s already-generous runtime. 14.3mm dynamic drivers handle the sound, USB-C fast charging tops up the case in 90 minutes, and auto-pairing with a Hall switch makes opening the case the only action needed to connect.

Choose the TIMU if commute or office noise cancelling matters, you want multiple EQ profiles, or you''ll use them more for music than workouts. Choose the HAOYUYAN if you need workout-ready ear hooks, IPX7 waterproofing, or you simply want the longest battery life and a visible LED case display.
