Wireless is the latest craze in the audio industry and several brands are releasing their iteration of wireless earbuds, neckbands, or headphones. The demand for truly wireless earbuds is rising as more smartphone manufacturers ditch earphone jacks. Blaupunkt is a brand that specializes in launching products in the Bluetooth earphone market.
So, when Blaupunkt sent over its latest Truly Wireless Earbuds BTW series, we had to check them out. We have been using these earbuds for quite some time as our daily driver and here’s what we think of them:
What’s Inside The Box?
- A pair of earbuds
- Charging case
- USB Charging cable
- Ear tips
- User manual
Design
The Blaupunkt Truly Wireless Earbuds BTW Series comes with a stem design and charges inside an oval-shaped case. They come in two color options, i.e., Black and White. The one we have is Black. While the case looks decent enough, it nearly gives off the impression that it is built with cheap materials.
The case comes with LEDs on the front that let you know the amount of charge by displaying the power percentage. When the earbuds are fully charged, the LED light in the charging compartment will turn off. Besides, the case has a USB Type-C port at the back for charging.
The charging case does its job fine though. It holds the earbuds securely when not in use and charges them. Taking the earbuds out powers them on automatically while putting them back turns them off and starts charging them. The case is small and can be carried in your pocket easily.
Now coming to the earbuds, their design is average and gets the job done. They are light and comfortable to use. However, there’s a slight issue with the fit. While using them, they didn’t actually fall off in usual usage but we are confident of using these at the gym or while jogging.
The Blaupunkt earphones have touch controls. The taps on the outer sides of each unit can be used to control music playback, volume, and answer calls. To aid with the calls, there are two mics on each earbud which is located at the bottom. Overall, the earbuds and charging case are all made of plastic and are quite plain-looking in our opinion.
Audio Performance
A 10mm driver inside the earphones generates punchy bass as well as decent mids and highs. They deliver audibly elevated low-end responses while the mid-range and highs are slightly less aggressive.
Sound quality is usually the main factor of any audio product and the Blaupunkt Truly Wireless Earbuds BTW Series does offer good sound for its price. These earbuds are not the best but they’re good and for Rs. 2,999, they’re one of the better ones.
The Blaupunkt Truly Wireless Earbuds BTW Series can also be used for hands-free calling and we had a decent experience using them. The sound on calls was clear and the microphones could pick up our voice decently.
Battery And Connectivity
Pairing the Blaupunkt Truly Wireless Earbuds BTW Series is simple. Taking the earbuds from the case will turn them on automatically. If not, you can long-press on the multifunction keys for three seconds to turn it on.
After it gets paired successfully, the headset will sound prompt ‘successful connection’. The indicators of left and right earbuds will turn blue and flash slowly. If the earbuds don’t pair with the mobile phone after starting, it will shut down automatically after three minutes.
The Blaupunkt TWS earbuds are compatible with both Android and iOS devices as well as can be paired with a mobile phone separately.
Talking about the battery, the charging case packs a large 400mAh battery. The device has a battery life of up to 40 hours of playtime. It does last for a decent amount of time. On using it for a few hours each day, it did last for over a day.
Verdict
The Blaupunkt Truly Wireless Earbuds BTW series does provide a level of performance that you would expect from a pair of budget TWS devices coming in at Rs. 2,999. That being said, they do fall short on some of the basics like the flimsy build and fit. What they have going on for them are decent sound quality and battery backup.
