How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want hybrid active noise cancellation, a 36-hour battery and an app with AI EQ modes for switching between meetings, movies, music and gaming, choose Lenovo TWS Earbuds Yoga; if you need an open-ear headset with a 220° rotatable boom mic, a physical mute switch and up to 12 hours of playback for calls on the move, choose MONODEAL Open Ear Headphones.
Both are wireless headphones with ENC mics, but they solve completely different problems. One seals your ears and cancels the world out. The other keeps your ears open and puts a microphone boom in front of your mouth. If you are torn between them, the deciding factor is not sound quality on paper — it is how you spend your day.
• Lenovo TWS Earbuds Yoga — biggest strength: Hybrid active noise cancellation with a three-microphone ENC system in each bud, plus Dolby Atmos, AI EQ modes and up to 36 hours of battery life.
• Lenovo TWS Earbuds Yoga — biggest trade-off: In-ear buds seal your ear canal, and they are tuned around Lenovo Yoga PCs, so they make the most sense if you live inside that ecosystem.
• MONODEAL Open Ear Headphones — biggest strength: A 220° rotatable boom microphone, dual-mic ENC noise reduction and a mute switch, on a 29 g open-ear frame that leaves your ear canal completely open.
• MONODEAL Open Ear Headphones — biggest trade-off: Shorter battery life at up to 12 hours, and an open-ear design that by nature lets the outside world in.
• Who each pick is for: Lenovo for immersive, isolated listening and long meeting days; MONODEAL for driving, workouts, home office calls and anyone who wants to hear their surroundings.
The Lenovo TWS Earbuds Yoga PC Edition is a true wireless in-ear bud with a charging case, and the spec sheet reads like a work-and-play hybrid. Each earbud carries a three-microphone ENC system, so your voice gets picked up and cleaned up during calls rather than transmitted raw from a single mic. Around that sits hybrid active noise cancellation, which is the more involved form of ANC — it works on noise inside and outside the ear, not just one band of it.
Then there is the software side. AI EQ modes let you flip between Meeting, Movie, Music and Gaming presets, and Dolby Atmos handles the immersion when you actually want to disappear into a film or a game. Bluetooth 5.3 with dual connection means the buds can hold two devices at once, which is the setup most people want when a laptop and a phone are both on the desk. Range is a claimed 10 meters, and the 12.2 mm dynamic driver runs a 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz range at 16 ohm impedance.
Battery is where this one runs away: up to 36 hours, with a 1.5-hour charge time, and the case itself supports wireless charging. The controls are touch and app based, so most tuning happens on your phone rather than by hunting for a button.
Buy it if you want one pair of buds that isolates you from a noisy room, sounds good for both a conference call and a late-night movie, and does not need to visit a charger for days. Skip it if you need to stay aware of traffic, if you dislike the sealed feeling of in-ear tips, or if you want a boom mic in front of your mouth instead of mics inside your ears. It comes in Tidal Teal with a turquoise case and carries a 1-year manufacturer warranty.
The MONODEAL HT03 is a different animal entirely. It is an open-ear headset with a hook-shaped earpiece that rests on the outside of your ear rather than inside it, wrapped in skin-friendly silicone and built on a memory titanium alloy frame that curves behind your ears. The whole thing weighs 29 grams, so the design brief here is clearly "wear it all day and forget it is there."
The microphone setup is the real story. You get dual-mic ENC noise reduction plus a 220° rotatable boom microphone that swings toward your mouth, and there is a physical mute switch for killing the mic mid-call. That combination — boom mic plus hardware mute — is exactly what people look for in a headset for work, driving, meetings and online courses, and it is something in-ear buds simply cannot replicate.
Audio comes from dual dynamic drivers, and the Bluetooth 5.4 chip is the newer of the two standards here, with multipoint connection so you can pair a computer and a phone at the same time and take whichever call comes in. Controls are a mix of touch and a multifunction button for power, play/pause, voice assistant and call management. Charging is Type-C, charge time is 2 hours, and playback runs up to 12 hours. Note that it should not be used while charging.
Buy it if you take a lot of calls, drive, work out, or want your ear canal left alone and your surroundings audible for safety. Skip it if you want noise cancellation that actually silences a room, or if you need more than a long workday of battery between charges. It ships in black with a cable and manual, and includes a 1-year warranty.
• Best for noise cancellation → Lenovo TWS Earbuds Yoga. Hybrid ANC plus a three-mic ENC system per bud is built to shut out the room; MONODEAL's open-ear design deliberately does the opposite.
• Best for battery life → Lenovo TWS Earbuds Yoga. Up to 36 hours versus up to 12 hours is not a close call.
• Best for microphone clarity on calls → MONODEAL Open Ear Headphones. A 220° rotatable boom mic with a hardware mute switch beats in-ear mics for anyone who talks for a living.
• Best for situational awareness and safety → MONODEAL Open Ear Headphones. The open-ear hook keeps your ear canal clear and your ears alert, which matters when driving or running outdoors.
• Best for immersive media → Lenovo TWS Earbuds Yoga. Dolby Atmos, AI EQ modes and sealed in-ear fit are all pointed at movies, music and gaming.
• Best for all-day comfort at low weight → MONODEAL Open Ear Headphones. 29 g with a titanium alloy frame and silicone wrap is a different comfort proposition from in-ear tips.
• Best for switching between laptop and phone → a tie, with a nuance. Both support dual/multipoint connection, but Lenovo's is tuned around Yoga PCs while MONODEAL's works across computers and phones generally.
• Best for charging convenience → Lenovo TWS Earbuds Yoga. Wireless charging in the case plus a 1.5-hour charge time is more flexible than Type-C alone.
In my opinion, most people shopping this comparison should buy the Lenovo TWS Earbuds Yoga. The combination of hybrid ANC, Dolby Atmos, AI EQ modes, dual connection and up to 36 hours of battery covers more of daily life — calls, media, travel, focus work — than an open-ear headset can. I would only point you to the MONODEAL Open Ear Headphones if your priority is a boom microphone with a mute switch and staying aware of what is around you, especially for driving, workouts and back-to-back voice calls. That is a real, specific need, and for it MONODEAL is the better tool. Check the current price on Amazon before deciding, since both sit in very different budget brackets.
how to use wireless headphones mic on pc
Pair the headset over Bluetooth, then open your computer's sound settings and select it as both the output and the input device. The Lenovo buds use their built-in ENC microphones, while the MONODEAL headset uses a boom mic you rotate toward your mouth. Confirm the mic is not muted — MONODEAL has a dedicated mute switch.
how to use mic on wireless headphones
For the Lenovo TWS Earbuds Yoga, the microphones are inside the buds, so you just wear them normally and the three-mic ENC system handles the rest. For the MONODEAL, swing the 220° boom mic toward your mouth and talk normally. Both connect wirelessly over Bluetooth with a 10-meter range.
can you use bluetooth headphones as a mic
Yes. Any Bluetooth headset with a built-in microphone can serve as your mic for calls and voice chat. Both products here qualify: Lenovo uses in-ear ENC mics, MONODEAL uses dual-mic ENC with a rotatable boom. The MONODEAL is generally the more natural fit for long calls because the mic sits closer to your mouth.
do all bluetooth headphones have a microphone
No. Bluetooth headphones only have a mic if the manufacturer builds one in. Both of these do — Lenovo with a three-microphone ENC array in each earbud, MONODEAL with dual-mic ENC plus a boom microphone and mute switch. If a headset lacks a mic, you would need a separate one.
