Korean audio specialist AZLA isn’t slowing down in 2025. The company behind some of the most obsessively engineered ear tips on the planet is rolling out three new additions: TRINITY, a compact wired earphone series in both USB-C and 3.5mm flavors; new MAX ear tips tailored specifically for Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 3 FE; and the second-generation XELASTEC 2 tips designed to give Apple’s AirPods Pro a more secure, better-sealing fit.
It’s a small lineup update, but a meaningful one for listeners who know comfort and fit can make or break the entire experience.
AZLA TRINITY Wired Earphones: USB-C and 3.5mm Options for 2025
AZLA’s new TRINITY are budget-friendly wired earphones that punch into mid-tier territory with tuning you’d normally expect to cost a lot more. Featuring an 8mm dynamic driver voiced for a neutral-bright balance, they deliver quick transients and a surprising level of clarity for the asking price.
The TRINITY arrives in two flavors: a standard 3.5mm analog version and a USB-C model with a built-in DAC, giving you consistent sound quality across phones, tablets, and laptops—no dongle roulette required in an era when most devices have ditched headphone jacks entirely.
It’s already making noise overseas: TRINITY sits at No. 1 in Japan’s wired earphone rankings and carries an endorsement from DK, one of South Korea’s most trusted audio reviewers. The pitch is simple—deliver a legitimately good listening experience at a price low enough to feel slightly illegal.

MAX for Galaxy Buds 3 FE
AZLA’s MAX series ear tips have earned a strong following for their comfort and stability with TWS earbuds, and the newest entry—MAX for Galaxy Buds 3 FE—comes with Samsung’s SMAPP certification, a stamp of approval rarely given to performance-focused aftermarket tips.
Instead of the glued-on adapters used by many TWS-compatible designs, MAX uses a single-mold, medical-grade hypoallergenic silicone structure that removes weak points and keeps the acoustic path consistent.
Key Features
- SMAPP-certified — officially approved by Samsung
- Single-piece mold for better durability, hygiene, and seal consistency
- Medical-grade silicone that minimizes irritation and supports long listening sessions
- Engineered specifically for the Galaxy Buds 3 FE nozzle design
MAX for Galaxy Buds 3 FE delivers official compatibility with an enthusiast-grade fit that can tighten bass response and improve overall tonality.
Where to buy
- 2-Pair $17 at Amazon
- 2-Pair $24 at Amazon
XELASTEC 2
When AZLA dropped the original XELASTEC, it instantly became a cult favorite—especially among AirPods Pro owners—thanks to its heat-reactive TPE material that softens with body temperature and molds itself to your ear canal.
XELASTEC 2 keeps that same “warms up, locks in” behavior but pushes the engineering further: the tip and adapter are now a single-mold piece instead of a glued two-part design, eliminating the occasional separation issues some users saw with the original. The result is a tougher, lower-pressure, more stable evolution of XELASTEC that aims to improve both comfort and longevity.
Key Features
- Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) softens with body heat to create a custom-style seal
- Single-mold construction eliminates glued adapters and boosts long-term durability
- Lower ear pressure with a more natural, less fatiguing fit
- Improved stability for workouts, commuting, and extended listening
- Tailored for AirPods Pro users who want a firmer seal than Apple’s stock silicone tips
Where to buy:
- 2-Pair $24 at Amazon
- 3-Pair $33 at Amazon
The Bottom Line
AZLA’s latest lineup isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel—it’s trying to make everyday listening a little easier, cheaper, and more comfortable. TRINITY sits squarely in that lane: two wired versions, both under twenty bucks, both delivering far better tuning than the price suggests. If you lose earphones like it’s a part-time job, these are exactly the kind of replacements that won’t make you wince.
And for Galaxy Buds 3 FE or AirPods Pro owners, AZLA’s MAX and XELASTEC 2 tips aren’t just swap-ins; they’re meaningful upgrades. Better seal, better comfort, better stability—the stuff that actually changes how your earbuds sound and feel. Anyone chasing a more secure fit, improved bass, or longer listening comfort should have these on the shortlist.
