With the Indian market flooded with budget TWS earbuds, how well do the Air Buds stand out of the crowd? Does it make up for the best offering in its segment? Or you should consider some other TWS earbuds in this segment. We have been using the Truke Air Buds Lite for a while now and the following is our feedback.

The earbuds have a slightly bigger form factor, but the size doesn’t hamper the wearing comfort. They offer a good snug-fit design that doesn’t fall off easily even with outdoor activities. The Air Buds Lite has an in-built sensor for automatic play/pause audio. It also has touch-sensitive controls that allow controlling media playback. It doesn’t allow volume adjustments which is one of the cons of the design.

The Truke Air Buds Lite comes with IPX4 certification. This makes the TWS earbud dust and sweat-resistant. The case has a USB Type-C port at the bottom with which you can connect any regular charger for power backup.

Truke Air Buds Lite Review: Audio Performance

The Truke Air Buds Lite does a fine job with audio delivery. Truke has managed to get the sound profile right for this budget TWS earbuds. Unlike most of the entry-level TWS earbuds where clarity levels are not at par, the Air Buds Lite offers a better sound stage that fits in for a casual listening experience. This TWS earbud performs best with gaming since the latency levels are lower here.

As for the music listening experience, you would get decent feedback with all the genres. Bass is crisp and it doesn’t muffle or distort at higher levels. You don’t hear a shrilling sound despite turning the audio levels to the highest. The latest Truke budget earbuds come with AI noise cancellation. Now, this isn’t the actual Active Noise cancellation feature rather it uses AI to passively block surrounding noise.

If you turn up the volume levels to the max, expect the battery to drain out fast.
