Baseus Encok W2i

Manufacturer: Baseus

The Baseus Encok W2i are true wireless earbuds with a standard earbud fit, offering a fully cable-free experience in a compact form. Weighing just 7.4 g per earbud, they are designed for everyday portability. A travel bag is included in the package, adding some convenience for users who carry their earbuds on the go. The earbuds feature stereo speakers and come with a noise-canceling microphone, making them usable as a headset for voice calls as well as general listening.

The earbuds house a 13 mm driver unit covering a 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz frequency range. Each earbud carries a 35 mAh battery rated for 6 hours of playback, while the 450 mAh charging case extends total usage to 29 hours. Charge time sits at 1.5 hours, and fast charging is supported. Connectivity runs on Bluetooth 5.3 with AAC codec support and a maximum wireless range of 10 m, though aptX variants, LDAC, LDHC, NFC pairing, and fast pairing are not available. The case charges via USB-C, and wireless charging is not supported. A battery level indicator, mute function, voice prompts, and an onboard control panel are all included.

Pros
  • The 450 mAh charging case extends total playback to 29 hours, reducing how often the case itself needs recharging
  • Fast charging support shortens the time needed to top up the earbuds
  • A noise-canceling microphone is included, supporting clearer voice calls
  • A travel bag is included in the package, making storage and transport more practical
  • Bluetooth 5.3 provides a relatively up-to-date wireless connection standard
  • The true wireless design eliminates all cables between the earbuds
Cons
  • No water or sweat resistance is offered, limiting use during physical activity or in wet conditions
  • Active noise cancellation and passive noise isolation are both absent, leaving the listener exposed to ambient sound
  • No in/on-ear detection means music does not pause automatically when an earbud is removed
  • A find device feature is not available, making it harder to locate misplaced earbuds
  • No aptX, LDAC, or other high-resolution audio codec support beyond AAC
  • Fast pairing and NFC pairing are not supported, requiring a standard manual Bluetooth pairing process
Who is this for?

The Baseus Encok W2i works well for users who want a true wireless earbud for everyday casual listening and voice calls in relatively quiet environments. The noise-canceling microphone and headset functionality make it a reasonable choice for those who take frequent calls during commutes or light indoor use. The included travel bag and 29-hour total battery life also suit users who want a portable, low-maintenance audio companion that does not need recharging too often throughout the day.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who exercise regularly or use earbuds in wet conditions will find the complete absence of water or sweat resistance a significant limitation. Those who need focused listening in noisy environments will also be underserved, as neither active noise cancellation nor passive noise isolation is available. Additionally, listeners who prioritize high-resolution audio streaming will be constrained by the lack of aptX, LDAC, or LDHC codec support, with AAC being the only option beyond standard SBC.

Final Verdict

The Baseus Encok W2i is a straightforward true wireless earbud that covers the core bases for casual everyday use — a noise-canceling microphone for calls, a travel bag for portability, and a 29-hour combined battery life that keeps daily recharging largely out of the picture. Its feature set is deliberately focused rather than expansive, which means users looking for noise isolation, water resistance, or advanced audio codec support will need to look elsewhere. For those whose needs align with what it actually offers — reliable wireless playback, solid call capability, and convenient charging — the Encok W2i is a functional and uncomplicated daily companion.
