Design
The Skysoar is essentially a Bluetooth-equipped neckband with a removable boom microphone. It has 2-pin connectors on each end that can plug into compatible IEMs. In addition, the right side has a connector for the detachable boom microphone.
There are two ice-blue boxes on this neckband that look sleek and modern. The right one serves as the housing for the device’s 3-button inline controls and its battery and electronic components. It also houses the USB-C charging port.
Skysoar’s 150mAH battery can provide up to 16 hours of playback and a full charge takes around 1 hour.
Microphone
The quality of Skysoar’s microphone is surprisingly good for a budget product. It accurately captures your voice without distorting or muffling it. It also does a pretty good job of filtering out background noise, such as keyboard clicks, mouse movements, or room ambience.
Verdict
Overall, the Kinera Celest Skysoar is an easy and affordable way to turn any compatible IEMs into a headset. The microphone sounds good and is perfect for gaming, calls and video conferencing.
