The new Haylou GT2 wireless earbuds received several design changes. The size of charging case is the same – 6.2 x 4 x 2.7 cm. It has an elongated shape and rounded edges, making it very convenient to hold in one hand.

However, the charging case lost its top cover. Yes, the charging case does not close, and the earbuds just stick on magnets. To be honest, we are not sure if this is a good idea. What if the magnets fail and you lose Haylou GT2? It will be very unpleasant.

The weight of charging case is 35 grams.

Another feature of charging case is built-in USB cable for charging. It is located on the right side of the case. It is very convenient! You no longer need to look for a charging cable or carry it with you. Earbuds can be charged at any time.

The charging case does not have any logos, inscriptions or LEDs.

But each earbud has a company logo. On the outside, Haylou GT2 earphones have a small round control button with Haylou logo. By the way, this is a physical control button, but we’ll talk about it later.

Below the button is LED indicator.

On the inside of earbuds there are two magnetic connectors for charging, a microphone, speakers and rubber ear pads.

By the way, the ear pads are interchangeable, and you get two more pairs of different sizes.

The size of each earbud is 27.2 x 16.7 x 22 mm, and the weight is only 3.7 grams.

If you are interested in my opinion, then the new Haylou GT2 earphones have a very interesting design. Yes, we still doubt the reliability of charging case without a top cover, but this is something new. Most likely, the manufacturer tested the earbud mount in the charging case, and we should not worry about this.

Haylou GT2: Specifications and Functions

This is not the first time we’ve tested wireless TWS earbuds. Thanks to TWS technology, the earphones are connected to the smartphone via Bluetooth.

As a rule, the right earphone is the main one, and it connects to the smartphone. The second earbud (left) connects to the right one. Thus, we get stereo sound.

The wireless earbuds are equipped with 7.2 mm speakers. They guarantee clear mid and high frequencies as well as powerful bass.

To be honest, we don’t think that the sound quality will be very different from the first version of Haylou GT1.

We have checked the sound quality of Haylou GT1, and listened to music of different genres: rock, classical and electronic. Regardless of the genre of music, the sound of Haylou GT1 was clear and enjoyable. We hope that Haylou GT2 will have the same sound, maybe even better.
