A few years ago, the gradual removal of traditional headphone jacks from smartphones pushed the development of audio devices into a new phase. TWS (True Wireless Stereo) earbuds quickly dominated the market, while traditional earphones struggled to stay competitive by introducing Dongle DACs or adapters if people pursue the Hi-Res audio.
Some USB-C DSP digital earphones emerged, but each type had its drawbacks. With the release of HIDIZS's first true DAC Hi-Fi In-ear earphone—the ST2 PRO Nebula—a new integrated solution was born, offering a perfect balance between HiFi sound quality, device compatibility, and user convenience. Welcome to the Next-Gen DSP HiFi Evolution. The ST2 PRO Nebula breaks through the limitations of traditional earphone design and ushers in a new era for HiFi earphones.
ST2 PRO Nebula vs TWS
In recent years, True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earphones have becom ST2 PRO Nebula VS TWS Earbuds VS Traditional 3.5mm/4.4mm Wired Earphones the market's mainstream product, with their primary advantage being a wireless design that allows users complete freedom of movement, unrestrained by cables. Whether during workouts, commuting, or daily use, TWS earphones offer great convenience. However, this design has notable drawbacks, especially in sound quality and battery life.
TWS earbuds feature limited battery capacity, typically offering only 2-3 hours of continuous playback, which doesn't satisfy the needs of long listening sessions. Despite numerous optimizations in wireless transmission, Bluetooth's bandwidth limits still prevent the transmission of high-resolution audio files. Even high-quality Bluetooth codecs (such as aptX HD, LDAC, etc.) can't fully avoid the audio compression that degrades sound quality.
In contrast, the ST2 PRO Nebula, with its built-in high-performance DAC chip and Type-C connection, eliminates the sound quality loss caused by Bluetooth transmission. Its integrated ESS ES9281AC PRO DAC chip supports high-resolution formats like 32bit/384kHz PCM and DSD128, providing exceptional audio clarity and retaining every detail. Moreover, the ST2 PRO Nebula doesn’t rely on batteries, eliminating the need for frequent charging and allowing users to enjoy HiFi sound for extended periods.
Traditional 3.5mm or 4.4mm wired earphones depend on external devices (like smartphones or audio players) for audio signals, which are transmitted through cables. While this wired method delivers stable sound quality, the widespread removal of traditional headphone jacks from smartphones has forced users to rely on additional adapters or Dongle DACs to connect with USB-C ports, complicating use and increasing the burden of carrying extra accessories.
In comparison, the ST2 PRO Nebula adopts a Type-C interface, offering full compatibility with modern smart devices, including the latest iPhone 15/16, without needing extra adapters or DACs. Its integrated ES9281AC PRO DAC chip rivals traditional DACs in sound quality, ensuring precise reproduction of every note.
