As far as earbuds go, there is no dearth of options but when it comes to truly wireless earbuds, one needs to be cautious about reliability, and quality. Cheaper models can skip out on features and you can be left with a less-than-satisfying experience. If you have never used a pair of truly wireless earphones, you can consider from a range of sub-Rs. 3,000 options. It’s been years since they have been around, and things have gotten better. If you are on a budget, here are some of the popular ones from our assortment that you might find enticing.
Soundlogic TWE005
Soundlogic is a popular brand that is known for its affordable offerings, but they also have a range of premium audio solutions that goes all the way into full-sized headphones, even soundbars. Their experience in the premium sound solutions range should show in the affordable TWS model called the Soundlogic TWE005 Sports Earbuds. They claim to have a battery life of up to 20 hours, which is more than enough to through days with average usage. They will automatically turn on and off, depending on whether you’re wearing them or not. They are based on Bluetooth 5.0 and support HD Sound, so you can expect great performance whether you’re gaming, listening to music or streaming podcasts while travelling. The case looks neat and tidy, as do the earbuds which look different from the other options at this price point. If you want something unique, consider them.
boAt TWS Airdopes 441 Pro RTL
boAt has quickly become one of the most popular sound solutions around. Their truly wireless earbuds have taken the market by storm, and their Airdopes 441 Pro are worth your attention if you’re looking for earbuds under the Rs. 3,000 price point. These earbuds like most other modern solutions use Bluetooth 5.0, but they are also water and splash resistant, all thanks to their IPX7 certification. boAt also makes some crazy claims of five hours of listening time on a single charge, but also 150 hours if you use the charging case, which sports a massive 2,600 mAh battery. This is the kind of battery capacity most smartphones had, at one point in time in the past. Premium audio quality is rendered through the 6 mm drivers onboard the Airdopes 441 Pro RTL. If you are constantly exercising or on the move and want a pair of truly wireless earbuds to give you company, these should fit your requirement.
OnePlus TWS Buds Z
OnePlus needs no introduction. They have proven their mettle in the market with their successful smartphones and range of TVs. Their recent entry into the truly wireless earbuds has taken the same path, and one of the value-for-money offerings are the OnePlus TWS Bud Z. They come in at just under the Rs. 3,000 price range, and you get solid performance, not to mention a great elegant design. OnePlus claims you can use these earbuds from 10 metres away which is great, when you’re doing the chores at home or working out. There is a bass boost feature that cranks up the lower frequencies, so music sounds punchier from the 10mm drivers. Twenty hours of listening time is what you get, but more importantly, you get three hours of listening time if you charge the earbuds for 10 minutes. The OnePlus TWS Buds Z are designed for gamers in mind as well, with low-latency modes that ensure you get responsiveness, not just quality.
JBL T100TWS
JBL is known for making wireless sound solutions long before truly wireless earbuds became popular. Their T100TWS model sports 17 hours of battery life. What should be more interesting are the microphones onboard these earbuds and how they are tweaked for audio calls. JBL says that they have been designed to be lightweight and comfortably fitting, so you can wear them for hours on end without any fatigue. You can wear them when you’re walking, working, or even working out. The AutoSync feature ensures you go from plugging the earbuds into the ears to listening to your favourite music or podcast without any hassles of connecting to Bluetooth. If you’re looking for an affordable pair of earbuds from a well-established brand, these are some to consider.
Zebronics Zeb-Sound Bomb Q
Zebronics are the underdogs, with value offerings across the range of products in consumer technology. Their new Zeb-Sound Bomb Q TWS are just an example of this. They are priced well under the Rs. 3,000 price range but also come with Qualcomm’s aptX sound standards that ensure high quality audio performance. Zebronics claims 35 hours of battery life using the charging case. The feature set of the product includes voice assistant support, Bluetooth 5.0, even the ability to adjust the volume using the earbuds and not the smartphone buttons. This is a feature that’s sometimes missing on earbuds even more expensive.
Gone are the days when owning a pair of truly wireless earbuds meant spending a ton of money. These earbuds cost less than Rs. 3,000, and you can appreciate quality sound without hurting your wallet.
