What is it?
Whizzer C3 - in-ear TWSHeadphones with dynamic drivers, Bluetooth 5.0, support for SBC, AAC and aptX codecs, splash protection and touch controls. Equipped with dynamic 10 mm drivers and support mono operation. Based on the Qualcomm QCC3020 chip and support cVc 8.0 noise reduction technology to convey your speech (rather than cutting out surrounding sounds).

Whizzer C3 comes in a small squarebox made of white cardboard. Front - the image of the headphones and the Qualcomm aptX designation. Behind - basic technical information. The box contains the headphones themselves in the charging case, additional replaceable ear pads, a short charging cable and documentation.

Externally, Whizzer C3 look exactly the same asan incredible number of other current TWS models. And we cannot say that this is bad: a universal calm design that will suit everyone (well, or almost everyone). The headphones are made of matte plastic in a very dark gray color. In fact, it is visually more similar to black. The dimensions are average for the TWS model. The joint between the body halves is noticeable, but not annoying, and in no way affects the strength of the structure in this case. Among the decorative elements on the outer covers of the headphones there are glossy Whizzer logos in the form of a kind of stylized lightning:

On the inside of the headphones, there area pair of charging pads and left-right designation. The sound guides are quite long, placed at a good angle and have protrusions at the ends for fixing the nozzles. The diameter of the sound guides turned out to be slightly less than the standard one and I had to tinker with third-party ear pads. SpinFit crashes.

Closer to the bottom of each earbud, there aremicrophone hole and LED indicator, which can glow blue or red. The Whizzer C3 earbuds themselves did not raise any complaints in terms of build quality or appearance. Everything is simple, but high quality.

There are a couple of questions about the charging case.It's also made of matte plastic, with a glossy "Whizzer" lettering on the top. Structurally, the case is familiar: oblong in shape with a hinged lid. There is a small cutout on the front to make it convenient to open the case.

In the closed position, the lid is held in place bymagnets. There is no locking provided in the open position. First question: the lid wobbles noticeably and feels flimsy. Yes, I'm not the first to use this pair of Whizzer C3s and the lid may have become loose during use. But this does not change the essence: headphones are not bought for a week. Inside the case there are two places with headphone contacts and two LEDs.

And the second question is the charging connector. The Whizzer C3 uses a somewhat outdated MicroUSB.

How convenient are they and how to use them?
Remembering your communication with wired peoplein-ear Whizzer models, there was a concern that the C3's fit might not be to my liking. Fortunately, expectations were not met. The Whizzer C3 turned out to be very comfortable: the sound guide is located at a good angle and has sufficient length for a comfortable deep fit. There may be some nuances in selecting the optimal attachments: not all third-party ones are suitable due to the small diameter of the sound guide. But with a good choice, you get very good sound insulation. The headphones fit securely in the ears, do not fall out and are great for jogging. There is IPX5 splash protection, so you won't die from sweat during an overly intense workout.

As already written above, Whizzer C3 rely onQualcomm QCC3020 chip. This is the most budget chip for TWS headphones in the Qualcomm line. Despite this, everything you need is there: Bluetooth 5.0, support for SBC, AAC and aptX codecs and cVc 8.0 technology. To connect the headphones, simply remove them from the case. When connected for the first time, they will go into pairing mode and will then connect automatically. The connection is very fast, there were no problems with the quality and stability of the signal. Within 10 meters from the smartphone, with one wall as an obstacle, the headphones cope. One of the useful little things worth noting is the mono mode. One earphone simply hides in the case, leaving only the one in the ear to work. Might come in handy while driving.

Headphones touch control, completelyadequate. Double tap - Play / Pause or accept / hang up a call, triple - switch tracks forward and backward (right and left earpieces, respectively), long touch - volume control. Likewise, the right and left headphones are responsible for increasing and decreasing the volume. So it's not necessary to pick up a smartphone for all basic actions.
</ p>What about the sound quality and microphone?
But the most interesting thing about the Whizzer C3 is the sound.Actually, this is how it should be in headphones, but some manufacturers sometimes forget about this. The sound quality of the Whizzer C3 was a pleasant surprise considering the price of the headphones. They sound very emotional and exciting. The upper and lower parts of the range are slightly raised, without sacrificing detail and without going to extremes. There are a lot of low frequencies, perhaps a little more than I would like. But they are good in detail and control, with good attack, they don’t turn into a rumble and don’t go into midrange territory. The low frequencies are dense, juicy and perfectly add density to the overall energetic pressure of the headphones. HF is slightly raised, quite airy and detailed (as far as possible in budget TWS). But they don’t hurt your ears thanks to the smooth decline in the right part of the range. The mids in the Whizzer C3 are slightly relegated to the background, but they sound quite natural, believable and convincing. The headphones seemed to me to be quite universal in terms of musical styles, which is especially pleasing considering the price category. TWS headphones, including more expensive ones, are not famous for their high-quality voice transmission. A miracle did not happen and Whizzer C3 in this regard supports this trend. The above-mentioned cVc 8.0 technology (stands for Clear Voice Capture) generally performs its function and the interlocutor hears you. But the voice comes out very dull. It's like you're talking through some kind of rag. Although the interlocutor will receive information, which is the main thing in this case.
</ p>What about autonomy?
</ img>
With battery data, everything is very complicated.Different sites write different information (although this applies to almost all technical characteristics), so I decided to limit myself to data from the official site. It states that the headphones last 6 hours on a single charge, and the case is enough for 6 charges. In total we have 36 hours. In reality, the operating time of the headphones on a single charge turned out to be closer to 5 hours. Although it's worth remembering that these are highly subjective results based on a number of factors, including the most obvious - volume. The case is consistently enough for 5 charges. The case takes about 2 hours to charge.

Whizzer C3 - TWS headphones that will fitto the widest possible audience. The company managed to combine a set of the most important basic advantages in a budget model. First of all, this is a universal and driving sound: the C3 sounds more interesting than most of its competitors in the price category. Otherwise, we are pleased with the convenient design and calm appearance, simple and intuitive touch controls, long battery life and a pleasant bonus in the form of aptX support. There are no miracles and you need to save on something to get a tempting price. Apparently, the main saving points were the dismal build quality of the case and the outdated MicroUSB port for charging. The current cost is1400 UAH.
