Bluetooth TWS Earbuds have moved from ‘nice to have’ to ‘need to have’ a while ago. Whether you’re constantly on the go or need an accessory for frequent virtual meetings or tune into your playlist at the gym, we can’t seem to do without our earbuds.
A while ago, Rs 5,000 may not have been a lot for earbuds; not anymore. Earbuds in the Rs 3,000 to 5,000 price band bring multiple features like ANC (active noise cancellation) and protection from the elements. These buds have also ramped up their acoustics. We’ve also seen price drops on some buds like Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Live that offer a unique design and premium features at a budget.
