The affordable and popular Baseus Bowie MA10 wireless noise-canceling earbuds just got a big upgrade with spatial audio, alongside a more compact design and a digital display for battery life on the case, the company said Tuesday. The new ones are called Baseus Bowie MA10s.

Baseus called the previous version its best-selling product on Amazon last year and said the buds “have been recommended by Oscar-class composers to ensure a quality sound experience.” And you can get them for a lot less than buds like AirPods Pro 2 — just $40.

Baseus Bowie MA10s TWS Earbuds

Baseus, which makes a range of products like power banks, called the new Bowie MA10s TWS Earbuds “a portable model with a smaller body that’s more convenient to carry.” The upgraded product also adds spatial audio technology and a power-status display on the charging case.

The new earbuds feature hybrid -48dB active noise cancelling (ANC) technology that cancels 95% of outside noise, according to Baseus. And they also come with four environmental noise cancelling microphones that work with an artificial intelligence algorithm to quiet ambient sounds and isolate your voice on calls.

Baseus said its 3D Spatial Audio Technology uses “a titanium-plated PU composite diaphragm and punchy bass AI algorithm to create a virtual soundscape – with you at its center.” The company said the new buds add “50% more bass and 100% crisper treble and 3 tailored modes to customize your listening experience.” Those are Bass Mode, Music Mode and low-latency Game Mode.

‘Oscar-worthy sound design’

And here’s the bit about the buds’ “Oscar-worthy sound design,” as the company describes it:

Oscar-Worthy Sound Design: Choose only the best with the Baseus Bowie MA10s TWS Earbuds that have been recommended by Oscar-winning and Oscar-nominated composers such as Chad Cannon, Joel Goodman, and Pedro Osuna. With 12 Preset EQs, you can enjoy unparalleled sound design or choose to customize the EQ to your liking.

And then there’s that new digital display showing battery life.

5-day battery life

The company said Baseus Bowie MA10s TWS Earbuds “sport a 5-day battery lifespan,” which it equated as 8 hours of playtime on one charge and a total of 38 hours of playtime with the wireless charging case.

The buds carry an IPX4 waterproof rating.

Baseus Bowie MA10s cost $49.99 at Amazon. But using the code Best Deal at checkout adds a 20% discount that makes them $39.99 (currently out of stock but likely back soon). Baseus Bowie MA10 is also available for $31.99 after discount.
