Oraimo Shark 4 -How Go Is The Sound

The Oraimo Shark 4 comes with a dual EQ that gives you the freedom to switch between normal mode or the Havybass mode. The dual EQ gives you the freedom to customize the sound quality of the Shark 4. You can choose to go with the normal sound quality that gives you a balanced tune without overdoing the bass.

And if you are a bass freak, you can switch the mode to Heavy bass where you get more bass. The neckband comes equipped with a 2nd gen Havybass algorithm that gives it an unrivaled bass quality.

Connectivity And Game Mode

The Shark 4 uses Bluetooth 5.3, which makes it to quick connect to your phone or laptop. The connection is hassle-free and quite stable. It comes with a connection range of 10m going beyond this you start to experience disconnection, so it’s advisable not to go beyond the connection range. The Shark 4 Luke most Oraimo earbuds support dual connections. This means you can connect the neckband to two devices at the same time.

They allow you to jam to your favorite music and not miss any calls on the other phone. It has low latency which makes it suitable for gaming. However the Oraimo Shark 4 isn’t the best for high graphics gaming, this is because you might experience some lagging. But on games like Candy Crush and other games that have lesser graphics demand, it’s perfect. For online video streaming, it syncs the audio and video perfectly.

Design And Build

Coming down to the design, the Oraimo Shark 4 features an all-around neck design that sits perfectly around the neck. The headphone is lightweight and portable. It rocks a simple design and comes in two variants black and blue. So you are free to choose the color that best suits you. The neckband comes with a thin metallic that makes it feel premium and durable.

The Shark 4 isn’t one of those headphones you can fold into your pocket, folding might damage the neckband. However, you can take it with you in your bag or purse. The Shark 4 earbuds are in-ear earbuds and snug perfectly into the ear canals. They are comfortable to wear for a longer period without experiencing any form of fatigue or distress. The control scheme is placed on the right-hand side of the neckband. They are easy and quick to access.

You also have the Type-C charging port at the right-hand hand of the band. The charging port comes with a rubber covering that helps prevent dust or specks of dirt. Furthermore, it comes with an IPX5 waterproof certification, which makes it a perfect headphone for workout and outdoor activities. Lastly, the buds come with built-in magnets, the magnet helps snug the buds together when they are not in your ears to prevent tangling.
