Third-party reviews

What customers like about Tribit Xfree Move

  • High value for money with impressive build quality for the price point
  • Excellent battery life, offering up to 14–40 hours of playback depending on the specific revision
  • Lightweight and comfortable design (approx. 150g) with soft padded ear cups
  • Stable Bluetooth connectivity with support for wired mode via 3.5mm jack
  • Clear mid-range and punchy bass performance that punches above its weight
  • Fast charging capabilities providing several hours of use from a short charge

What customers don't like about Tribit Xfree Move

  • Lacks Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), relying only on passive isolation
  • The top headband section lacks padding, which may cause discomfort during long sessions
  • Maximum volume levels may feel insufficient for some users
  • High frequencies (treble) can occasionally lack detail or sparkle
  • Built-in microphone only works in Bluetooth mode, not when used with a wired connection
  • The charging port uses the older Micro-USB standard rather than USB-C

Verdict

The Tribit XFree Move is a lightweight, on-ear wireless headphone weighing just 150g, featuring an adjustable headband and soft-padded ear cups for a comfortable fit. It utilizes Bluetooth technology for wireless connectivity and offers an auxiliary port for wired use, providing up to 14 hours of talk time on a 2-hour charge via micro-USB. While it lacks active noise cancellation, its main pros include its highly portable design, a sensitivity reaching 90 decibels, and reliable controls for playback and calls. Some cons noted include the lack of padding on the top of the headband, slightly lacking high frequencies in the sound profile, and a micro-USB charging port rather than the more modern USB-C.
