This is Adidas’ ambient listening mode designed to let you hear your surroundings clearer.
What else is there?Īwareness mode is the last big feature. I already touched on a few perks, including control customization, Equalizer, and select third-party integration (Adidas Running, Spotify). The Adidas Headphones App is the hub for extended functionality. Adidas FWD-02 Sport review: Special features and app The FWD-02’s inability to passively block out these noises means you won’t get much peaceful time at home. I could hear my mom-in-law chatting with clients over speakerphone, as well as other mid and high-frequencies noises. My MacBook Pro served as my main audio source during the day and delivered similar results when indulging in Apple Music tracks. The latter was clutch for playing Spotify playlists on my Google Pixel 6 Pro, providing high-quality streaming over Bluetooth. These buds support AAC, SBC, and aptX audio codecs. Hearing the soft-spoken chorus slightly recessed wasn’t so pleasing. Other models in the category can pull off this same sound and not damage certain elements in a song, which, unfortunately, the FWD-02 is guilty of. I thought the synths and vocoded vocals were also reproduced well. That’s what you want most from a pair of sporty wireless earbuds. The booming drums on Jamiroquai’s “Shake It On” knocked hard and revitalized my energy levels near the end of runs. These buds carry the same bass-heavy resonance, though the midrange isn’t as clean as what you hear from their noise-cancelling sibling. 01 ANC’s sound profile was well balanced and produced just enough oomph to kickstart intense workouts. Since partnering with Zound Industries (the team behind Marshall headphones), Adidas has put out acceptable-sounding wireless earbuds. Adidas FWD-02 Sport review: Sound quality Google Assistant isn’t any more user friendly, failing to execute basic tasks like opening an app or website, which often led to a blank screen. The feature is buggy (something I suspect the touch controls suffered from too), lag is common, and can be a hassle to activate on iOS/macOS devices. Google Assistant and Siri are compatible, but neither digital assistant is fun to use.
