How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want app-controlled transparency, active noise cancelling and a GPS bud locator for work, choose Wicked Audio Mojo 300; if you need a longer-lasting battery, stronger ANC and a touch-screen case for work, choose Thunelec Earbuds. Both are true wireless in-ear buds with a transparency mode, so the real decision comes down to how you want to control that mode and how long you need the buds to last between charges.
• Wicked Audio Mojo 300 — biggest strength: Three noise control modes (transparency, passive isolation, active noise cancelling) managed through the Wicked Audio app, which also adds EQ modes, wear detect, a GPS bud locator and low-latency gaming mode.
• Wicked Audio Mojo 300 — biggest trade-off: Up to 23 total hours (5 in the buds, 18 in the case), which is noticeably less listening time than the Thunelec pair offers.
• Thunelec Earbuds — biggest strength: Up to 48 hours of total playback with a 1.5-hour case charge, plus a full-color touch screen on the case so you can switch tracks and noise modes without opening a phone app.
• Thunelec Earbuds — biggest trade-off: No direct volume control on the buds themselves — you adjust volume through the case screen or your connected device.
• Who the Mojo 300 is for: Anyone who wants a compact, app-driven earbud with a locator and three distinct noise modes.
• Who the Thunelec Earbuds are for: Anyone who wants marathon battery life, a deeper ANC rating and on-case controls.
The Mojo 300 is the more software-forward of the two. Wicked Audio puts almost everything behind its companion app: transparency mode, active noise cancelling, passive noise cancelling, wear detect, endless EQ modes, app-controlled volume, a battery life indicator and low-latency gaming mode. If you like tweaking how your buds sound and behave rather than accepting one fixed tuning, that app is the whole point of this product. The GPS bud locator is the standout extra — a genuinely useful feature if you tend to misplace small earbuds, and one you won't find on the Thunelec pair.
Battery is where you have to be honest with yourself. The Mojo 300 gives you up to 5 hours in the buds and up to 18 more in the case, for up to 23 total. That's a full workday plus a commute for most people, but it is not a multi-day-trip number. The case charges over USB-C with the included cable, and the design is deliberately small — silicone tips, a bud shape, Bluetooth 5, a 33-ohm impedance and a 20 Hz–20,000 Hz dynamic driver. I'd steer you here if you value the app, the locator and the three-mode noise control more than raw hours. I'd look elsewhere if you regularly go days between charges.
Thunelec Earbuds: Who It's For
The Thunelec Earbuds are built around endurance and control at your fingertips. Thunelec rates them at 6–8 hours per charge and up to 48 hours total with the case, and the case itself refills in about 1.5 hours. For long shifts, back-to-back meeting days or a trip where you don't want to think about a charger, that's a meaningful cushion over the Mojo 300. The smart battery indicator on the case is a small thing that matters more than people expect — you can see where you stand instead of guessing.
The noise cancelling is the other headline. Thunelec specifies active noise cancellation of up to 45dB, aimed at blocking roughly 90% of distractions like traffic, blower noise and office chatter, paired with ENC that cleans up your voice on calls. There's also a transparency mode for hearing your surroundings while you keep playing audio, which is the same core idea as the Mojo 300's transparency mode — it's just controlled differently here. Bluetooth 5.4 is the newer spec of the two, and Thunelec claims 98% connection stability with multi-device switching.
The signature feature is the full-color touch screen on the charging case. You can play, pause, skip tracks, take calls and change noise modes with a tap on the case, plus switch between seven languages, set a wallpaper, adjust screen brightness, find the buds and run a timer. Five EQ modes (standard, classic, jazz, rock, pop) cover the tuning side. The catch is real: there's no direct volume control on the buds — you change volume on the case screen or the connected device. The 14.2mm bio-carbon fiber driver reaches down to 50Hz, and the package includes three sizes of silicone tips, IPX7 water resistance, and a Rose finish. I'd point you here for battery life, ANC depth and screen-based control.
• Best battery life → Thunelec Earbuds. Up to 48 hours total and 6–8 hours per charge versus up to 23 total and 5 per charge on the Mojo 300.
• Best noise cancelling depth → Thunelec Earbuds. Up to 45dB ANC with ENC for calls is the more aggressive spec on paper.
• Best app control and customization → Wicked Audio Mojo 300. EQ modes, wear detect, customizable controls and app-controlled volume all live in the Wicked Audio app.
• Best for not losing your buds → Wicked Audio Mojo 300. The GPS bud locator is unique to this pair.
• Best for on-case control without a phone → Thunelec Earbuds. The touch screen handles playback, calls and noise modes directly.
• Best for the newest Bluetooth spec → Thunelec Earbuds. Bluetooth 5.4 versus Bluetooth 5 on the Mojo 300.
• Best for workouts and wet commutes → Thunelec Earbuds. IPX7 waterproofing is the more explicit water-resistance claim of the two.
• Best for a small, simple fit → Wicked Audio Mojo 300. The housing is designed to be small and comfortable, with silicone tips and a lightweight bud shape.
If I were buying for work, I'd take the Thunelec Earbuds. In my opinion, the combination of up to 48 hours of total battery, up to 45dB ANC with ENC, Bluetooth 5.4 and a touch-screen case that removes the need to dig out my phone is the more practical package for long days. The volume-control quirk is a real annoyance, but it's a minor one against that much runtime.
That said, the Wicked Audio Mojo 300 is my pick if you care more about control than hours. The app, the three noise modes, the GPS locator and the smaller fit are genuinely useful, and the transparency mode is right there when you need to hear the room. Decide which of those two priorities matters more, then check the current price on Amazon before you commit.
FAQ
Transparency mode is an Apple AirPods feature on several models, but it isn't exclusive to Apple. Both earbuds here have their own transparency mode — the Mojo 300 controls it through the Wicked Audio app, and the Thunelec pair offers it alongside its ANC and ENC setup.
On AirPods you typically switch modes from the connected device or the bud's own controls. On these two, the method differs: the Mojo 300 is app-driven, while the Thunelec Earbuds let you change noise modes from the touch screen on the charging case.
No — not every AirPods model includes it. The same caution applies to third-party buds: don't assume transparency mode is present just because a product has ANC. Here, both the Mojo 300 and the Thunelec Earbuds explicitly list a transparency mode in their features.
On AirPods it's a mode toggle on your paired device or the bud controls. With the Mojo 300, open the Wicked Audio app and select transparency from the three noise control modes. With the Thunelec Earbuds, tap through the noise modes on the case's touch screen.
