iQOO Buds launched in India at an effective Price of Rs. 1,699 with Bluetooth 6.1, up to 50h total playback
iQOO has launched its latest budget-friendly true wireless stereo (TWS) earphones, the iQOO Buds in India alongside the iQOO Z11. Positioned as an affordable wireless audio option, the new earbuds focus on ultra-low latency gaming, long battery life, and a lightweight, ergonomic design.
Audio Performance and Software Features
Tuned Acoustic Profile
Developed in collaboration with the Golden Ears acoustics team, the iQOO Buds feature a 10mm driver with a composite PU/PEEK diaphragm that keeps harmonic distortion below 2%. The earbuds also support DeepX 4.0 sound profiles, including Mega Bass, Clear Voice, Clear High Pitch, and a dedicated Audiobook Mode.
Spatial Audio
The earbuds offer simulated spatial audio with four listening presets: Theater, Concert Hall, Studio, and Live Concert.
Call Noise Reduction
For clearer calls, the iQOO Buds use AI-powered dual-microphone environmental noise cancellation (ENC). A physical cross-flow duct and chamber structure further help reduce wind interference and sudden ambient sounds during voice calls.
Ecosystem Integration
The earbuds support instant pop-up pairing with custom pet animations on OriginOS, vivo, and iQOO devices. Additional features include remote camera shutter control, Google Assistant support, and “Find My iQOO Buds” tracking. Other Android smartphones can access settings and customize touch controls through the companion vEarphones app.
