Introduction

If this is ringing some Déjà vu bells for you, I should perhaps mention that we did take a look at the Lypertek PurePlay Z3 just a few weeks ago. I did not know at the time that it was on the way out already in favor of the newer, updated version announced in May. Adding to the confusion is that the PurePlay Z3 was originally called the TEVI, with the newer PurePlay Z3 2.0 now just called the PurePlay Z3 on the website. We can go on and on about bad naming schemes and confusions galore, but let's first thank Lypertek for sending TechPowerUp review samples!


This was originally going to be a quick-look article, before the whole set surprisingly arrived at my doorstep. That meant I had the black set, white set, and an accompanying accessory for either. This, coupled with these being the first TWS (true wireless) earphones to arrive after my frequency curve testing was established, made me want to test them out fully, resulting in this multi-page review to cover everything. Oh, and did I mentioned these are also the first ones I have to support Bluetooth 5.2? We as always begin with a look at the specifications in the table below.
