❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the battery last on the Baseus Encok W3 earphones?
The Baseus Encok W3 earphones deliver impressive battery performance for true wireless earbuds in this price category, providing up to five hours of continuous music playback on a single charge at seventy percent volume level. The included portable charging case contains a two hundred milliamp-hour battery that provides approximately three to four additional full charges, extending your total listening time to approximately eighteen hours before needing to recharge the case itself. Call time is rated at five hours per charge, which is excellent for business professionals who need reliable communication throughout the workday. Standby time extends up to three hundred hours when the earbuds are stored in the charging case with Bluetooth disabled, meaning you can leave them ready for use without worrying about battery drain. Charging time is approximately one and a half to two hours for both the earbuds and the case using the included USB-C cable. The LED indicators on the charging case display remaining battery level so you always know when charging is needed. For users who frequently forget to charge their devices, the extended standby time ensures the earbuds are always ready when you need them.
How effective is the Active Noise Cancelling on these earbuds?
The Baseus Encok W3 features Active Noise Cancelling technology that reduces surrounding ambient noise by up to twenty-eight decibels, which is quite effective for earbuds in this price range. The ANC works best against consistent low-frequency sounds such as airplane cabin noise, train rumble, air conditioning units, and general office background hum. Combined with the physical noise isolation provided by the in-ear silicone tips, you get a dual-layer noise reduction system that significantly improves your listening experience in noisy environments. The MEMS microphones used for ANC also provide excellent call clarity by filtering out background noise when you're speaking, so callers hear your voice clearly even in busy cafes or on public transport. While the ANC performance doesn't match premium earbuds costing three to four times more, it provides substantial value for everyday use situations like commuting, working in open offices, or exercising in busy gyms. The three included ear tip sizes ensure you can find a proper seal, which is essential for both passive noise isolation and optimal ANC performance. Users should experiment with different tip sizes to find the best fit for their ear canals.
Are these earbuds suitable for workouts and running?
Yes, the Baseus Encok W3 earbuds are well-suited for gym workouts, running, and other fitness activities thanks to their IP55 water and dust resistance rating. This certification means the earbuds can withstand sweat during intense workouts, light rain during outdoor runs, and dust exposure in various environments without suffering damage to the internal electronics. The ergonomic shallow in-ear design was specifically engineered for comfortable extended wear and secure fit during physical activity, reducing the likelihood of earbuds falling out during movement. The lightweight construction minimizes bounce and discomfort during high-impact activities like running or jumping exercises. Multiple silicone ear tip sizes are included so you can find the perfect fit that stays secure during vigorous movement while maintaining proper audio seal for optimal sound quality and noise isolation. The touch controls allow you to adjust volume, skip tracks, or answer calls without reaching for your phone, which is particularly convenient during workouts when your hands may be occupied or sweaty. The wireless design eliminates cable tangle issues common with wired earphones during exercise, providing complete freedom of movement for any workout routine.
How do the touch controls work on these wireless earbuds?
The Baseus Encok W3 features intuitive touch-sensitive panels on each earbud that respond to tap gestures for hands-free control of music playback, phone calls, and voice assistant activation. A single tap on either earbud will play or pause your current music track, making it easy to quickly pause audio when someone needs your attention. Double-tap gestures are used for skipping to the next track on the right earbud or returning to the previous track on the left earbud, allowing easy navigation through playlists without touching your phone. For incoming phone calls, a single tap answers the call while a long press of approximately two seconds rejects the call. During active calls, a single tap will end the call when you're finished speaking. Triple-tap on either earbud activates your smartphone's voice assistant, whether that's Siri on iPhone, Google Assistant on Android, or other compatible voice services. The touch panels are responsive enough to register intentional taps while being calibrated to avoid accidental activations from normal ear adjustments or light contact. This touch control system eliminates the need to remove your phone from your pocket or bag for basic audio control operations throughout your day.
What devices are compatible with the Baseus Encok W3 earphones?
The Baseus Encok W3 uses standard Bluetooth 5.0 technology, making them compatible with virtually any Bluetooth-enabled device including all modern smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktop computers with Bluetooth adapters, smart TVs, gaming consoles, and portable music players. For Apple users, full compatibility includes iPhone models from iPhone 6s onwards running iOS 10 or later, all iPad models with Bluetooth capability, MacBooks, iMacs, and Mac mini computers. Android smartphone users can pair these earbuds with devices from Samsung, Google Pixel, OnePlus, Xiaomi, Oppo, Huawei, and all other Android manufacturers running Android 4.4 or later operating systems. Windows laptop and desktop computer users can connect via built-in Bluetooth or USB Bluetooth adapters for wireless audio during video calls, music playback, or media consumption. The Bluetooth 5.0 protocol ensures stable connectivity, low latency for video synchronization, and efficient power consumption compared to older Bluetooth versions. Pairing process is straightforward, simply open the charging case near your device, access Bluetooth settings, select Baseus Encok W3 from available devices, and confirm the connection. Once paired, the earbuds automatically reconnect to the last used device when removed from the charging case.
How is the call quality on the Baseus Encok W3 for phone conversations?
The Baseus Encok W3 delivers excellent call quality for both personal and professional phone conversations thanks to its advanced MEMS microphone technology with active noise cancelling capabilities. The MEMS microphones are specifically designed to capture your voice clearly while the noise cancellation algorithms filter out background environmental sounds, meaning callers hear your voice distinctly even when you're in noisy environments like busy streets, cafes, or public transport. The five-hour call time rating ensures you can handle extended business calls or catch up with friends and family without worrying about battery depletion mid-conversation. Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity provides stable connection with minimal interference and low latency, so there's no awkward delay between speaking and the other party hearing your words. The in-ear design also helps isolate your hearing so you can focus on the conversation without being distracted by surrounding noise. Voice assistant integration allows you to initiate calls hands-free by triple-tapping to activate Siri or Google Assistant, then voice-commanding the desired contact. Business professionals particularly appreciate the combination of clear voice transmission and environmental noise reduction for maintaining professionalism during calls from any location.
Can I use just one earbud at a time with these earphones?
Yes, the Baseus Encok W3 supports both single earbud and dual earbud usage modes, providing flexibility for different situations throughout your day. You can use either the left or right earbud independently while leaving the other in the charging case, which is particularly useful when you need to maintain awareness of your surroundings such as when walking in traffic areas, working in an office where colleagues may need your attention, or during activities where hearing ambient sounds is important for safety. Single earbud mode effectively doubles your total listening time since you can switch between ears when one earbud needs charging while continuing to listen with the other. Each earbud contains its own microphone and touch controls, so all functionality remains available in single earbud mode including music control, call handling, and voice assistant activation. The earbuds automatically detect whether they're being used in single or dual mode and adjust audio output accordingly. When both earbuds are in use, they work together to provide true stereo sound with left and right channel separation. This flexibility makes the W3 ideal for users who alternate between immersive music listening with both earbuds and situations requiring situational awareness with single earbud usage.
What does the 2-year warranty cover for these earbuds?
The two-year warranty provided with your Baseus Encok W3 purchase from JPC Mobile Accessories covers manufacturing defects and premature component failure that affect the earbuds' functionality during normal use. This includes issues such as Bluetooth connectivity problems not caused by device compatibility, audio driver failures resulting in sound distortion or imbalance between earbuds, touch control malfunctions where gestures aren't properly recognized, charging issues where the earbuds or case won't charge despite using the correct cable and power source, and battery degradation significantly exceeding normal wear patterns within the warranty period. The warranty protects against receiving a defective product or experiencing unexpected failures due to manufacturing quality issues rather than user damage or normal wear. Coverage does not extend to physical damage from drops, impacts, crushing, or exposure to liquids beyond the IP55 rating specifications. Cosmetic wear such as scratches or colour fading from normal use is expected and not covered. Lost or stolen earbuds are not covered under warranty. To make a warranty claim, retain your proof of purchase and contact our Brisbane team who will assess whether the issue qualifies for replacement under warranty terms.
How is the sound quality compared to more expensive wireless earbuds?
The Baseus Encok W3 delivers impressive Hi-Fi stereo sound quality that punches well above its price point, though naturally there are differences compared to premium earbuds costing three to five times more. The ten millimetre moving coil drivers produce powerful bass response that's satisfying for hip-hop, electronic, and pop music genres while maintaining clear midrange frequencies for vocals and acoustic instruments. Highs are crisp without being harsh or fatiguing during extended listening sessions. The frequency response of twenty hertz to twenty kilohertz covers the full audible spectrum, ensuring you don't miss any detail in your music. Sensitivity rating of one hundred and three decibels means the earbuds get plenty loud without distortion at maximum volume, though most users will find seventy to eighty percent volume sufficient. Where premium earbuds excel is in subtle detail retrieval, soundstage width, and bass texture refinement, differences that are most noticeable to trained audiophile ears listening to high-quality lossless audio files. For the vast majority of users listening to streaming services like Spotify or Apple Music, the W3 provides thoroughly enjoyable audio quality that justifies its price point many times over while offering features like ANC that budget earbuds typically lack entirely.
