Introduction
SUDIO is a Swedish earphone brand that has recently gained some popularity with their high quality and well designed earphones. The brand promises premium earphones that offers studio quality sound to the end users.
Unlike many other manufacturers, SUDIO designs and manufactures all their earphones in house, ensuring that every single product sold retains its high quality and reliability that the designers wanted them to be. With a range of exquisitely made earphones products that are tuned for listeners of different audio preferences and lifestyle requirements, SUDIO currently has 4 main product offerings, namely the TVÅ , KLANG, Vasa, and Vasa BLÅ. Today, we will be reviewing their top of the line Vasa BLÅ wireless bluetooth earphones.
Design
The designers at SUDIO has certainly put much effort into both the aesthetic and performance of the Vasa BLÅ earphones.
The two words to describe the physical design of the SUDIO Vasa BLÅ should be – Simple yet Elegant.
Simple designs are gaining popularity these days. Users want a design that meets the basic functionality requirement well, but yet remain extremely simple. As for the case of the SUDIO Vasa BLÅ, it is designed with the notion of that in mind.
To make a popular bluetooth earphone, it has to be portable, designed with generally accepted aesthetics, and of course, sound great. The SUDIO Vasa BLÅ differentiates itself from competitors by inheriting all these features.
The overall design of the SUDIO Vasa BLÅ is rather straightforward. It is available in multiple colours to attract different audiences. Without any additional control units or clips, these earphones simply hangs around the listener’s neck, making it hands-free, portable and minimal.
The gold enclosure that houses the audio drivers also contrasts well with any colour of the cable. Additionally, gold also gives the earphones an added metallic sense and premium feel to the overall product.
To make the whole audio experience portable, SUDIO has integrated a set of media playback buttons on the cable. Listeners can have full control of their media playback functions with these buttons on the right side of the cable. At the same time, the play button also doubles as a power button and bluetooth pairing button.

One of the biggest challenges of Bluetooth earphones is that it has to house a battery unit that tends to be bulky, thus affecting the portability of the product. SUDIO understands such limitations and in order to integrate the battery seamlessly into the Vasa BLÅ, they decided to create a battery block on the left side of the cable. This gives the earphone symmetrical properties, thus improving the overall design of the product.
With the battery block integrated, the earphones are granted with a continuously playback time of up to 8 hours on a single charge. Moreover, with the use of high quality batteries, users will not face battery reliability issues with the product its later years.
The amalgamation of the design features mentioned above brings out the elegance of the SUDIO Vasa BLÅ earphones. It is rare to even see such minimalist product in the market these days.
Audio Signature
We have got to say that the SUDIO Vasa BLÅ is one of the best sounding earphones that we have tested so far. Specifications aside, the SUDIO Vasa BLÅ should be enjoyed by most mainstream listeners who enjoy a fair bit of thumpy bass.
When listening to dance/disco/club music, the supposed attention grabbing bass and low frequency sounds can be felt in the background, and voice and trebles distinctly clear. Rather than overpowering other frequencies of the music, the lows fills in well to give a pleasant listening experience.
The earphones are tuned to focus at the low and vocal frequencies. This is beneficial to songs that aims to brings out a singer’s voice. For an usual mandopop song, the voice can clearly be defined, up to a point where you can also almost hear and feel the singer’s control of nasal voice in the end of a verse.
Much of the focus is placed on the thumpy bass, the voice and specific high frequency sounds. The earphones are also tuned well so that each section of the frequency gets a fair share of its limelight, providing a great audio experience for me as an audiophile wannabe.
Conclusion
We have thoroughly enjoyed the SUDIO Vasa BLÅ bluetooth earphones. It excels in every aspect in terms of design, audio quality and usability. The SUDIO Vasa BLÅ’s simple and elegant design makes it extremely lightweight and portable yet retaining a minimalist look on wearers. Its focus on specific frequencies of sounds that matters most defines the great audio experience that it provides to listeners. The SUDIO Vasa BLÅ is one of the best sounding wireless earphones available at this price segment.
