Wyze includes both audio and charging

There’s no 1/4-inch adapter or airline
adapter included.
I’d like to compliment Wyze on its
quick-start guide, which is succinct,
but thorough and far easier to read
than some of the tiny booklets other
vendors provide. Kudos as well for
all-paper/cardboard packaging and no
shrink wrapping. You can easily recycle
everything but the phones themselves.(Although that’s also possible in most
locales, if you take the trouble.)
There is of course an app that allows
EQ’ing the unit and choosing the level of
ambient noise reduction.Performance (noise

audio) enabled, they become very, very
quiet.If I wereonanairplane,they’re

bringing along.
On the other hand, activating noise
cancellation slightly alters frequency
