New Delhi: iQOO has recently introduced its latest pair of budget wireless earbuds in China, which is called the iQOO TWS 5i. It arrives with long battery life and a few gaming-aimed sound features.
It earbuds supports iQOO’s in-house Monster Sound audio processing, which is specially designed to adjust the audio depending on the type of game being played. Spatial audio is supported as well, with multiple sound modes for games, movies, and general media playback.
The earbuds can also achieve as low as 42ms latency over Bluetooth 5.4, which is going to reduce noticeable audio delay in fast-paced games like shooters or racing titles. iQOO TWS 5i keeps things lightweight. Each of the earbuds weighs around 4.2g, so in terms of comfort it seems to be a major priority here, especially for the longer gaming sessions or daily use.
iQOO claims up to 11.5 hours of playback on a single charge, with the charging case expanding total usage to around 50 hours. Talk time is actually rated slightly lower at about 7 hours.
Earbuds also come with AI-based call noise reduction, an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance, and support for connecting to two devices at the same time. Features like active noise cancellation are missing, which is not surprising considering the pricing. It aims more on the basics that matter most to casual gamers and everyday users instead of trying to compete directly with more expensive earbuds.
iQOO TWS 5i is priced at 119 yuan in China, which is roughly around Rs 1,700. Currently, iQOO has not announced any plans to unveil the earbuds internationally.
