52audio recently got the new “Bowie E2 True Wireless Earphones” from consumer electronics brand Baseus. The earphones adopt the appearance design of mini candy beans, and the weight of a single earphone is about 4.4g, which is suitable for young people who like high level of appearance earbuds.
The earphones have built-in high-elastic PU composite diaphragm dynamic, which can bring users a more balanced hearing. Earphone adopts Bluetooth 5.2 main control chip and Baseus dual-channel low-latency technology, which compresses the latency to 60ms to improve the user’s film and television experience. At the same time earphones also support the function of single ear positioning within the range. In terms of battery life, the earbuds have a single battery life of up to 5 hours. With the charging case, a total of 25 hours of long battery life can be obtained, and it supports fast charging of “10 minutes of charging and 2 hours of listening to songs”. Baseus Bowie E2 earbuds are also equipped with the “Baseus Smart” App, which supports earphones operation customization.
The Baseus TWS earbuds teardown by 52audio are: Baseus AirNora, Baseus Encok W01, Baseus Encok W04 Pro, Baseus Encok W07, Baseus Encok W09 and Baseus Encok WM01 true wireless bluetooth earbuds.

TPS SY8801 TWS earphone charging case SOC, specially designed for TWS earphone charging case. Based on the design to ensure safety and high reliability (supports 28V input withstand voltage, built-in full-function charging and discharging overvoltage, overcurrent, overtemperature, short circuit protection, etc.), it also integrates I2C communication function and internal communication isolation function . Through the I2C interface, the MCU of the system can read and configure the internal functions of the power supply and the parameters of battery charge and discharge management, and easily realize such as NTC protection, segmental adjustment of battery current, TWS earphone entry and exit detection, and automatic power output. and other functions.
The integrated internal communication isolation module of TPS SY8801 greatly optimizes the functional design of the smart TWS charging compartment. No complicated peripheral circuits are required, and the MCU can be realized by connecting and controlling the SY8801. It can not only realize the function of charging the earphone, but also transmit data through the POGO PIN of the power supply connected to the earphone, and realize functions including uploading the power of the charging compartment, clearing and pairing the earphone in the charging compartment, restoring the factory settings, and upgrading the earphone software.
According to 52audio, the power management chip of TPS has been adopted by Xiaomi, OPPO, OnePlus, realme, Transsion, MEIZU, 1MORE, Baidu, Edifier, JBL, Harman, Lenovo and other brands.
