Vivo has officially launched their new Vivo TWS 5e wireless earbuds in China, bringing flagship features into the budget audio space. Debuting alongside the Vivo S60 smartphone series, the Vivo TWS 5e earbuds are significantly upgraded over their predecessors, offering powerful active noise cancellation and impressive battery endurance among other flagship-tier features. The Vivo TWS 5e are currently available in China, but could be released globally soon.
Price and Availability
The Vivo TWS 5e have been launched at CNY 229, which roughly translates to Rs3,200 in Indian. This competitive pricing makes it a strong contender in the budget wireless audio market. The earbuds come in three different colorways, Ink Black, White, and Tianqing. The Vivo TWS 5e are presently available via Vivo’s official online channels in China, and an Indian launch hasn’t been announced, but expect more details from Vivo for international markets over the coming months.
55dB Noise Cancellation
A major feature of the Vivo TWS 5e earbuds is the new Hybrid Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation system. Vivo claims that the TWS 5e is capable of lowering background noise levels by up to 55dB, which is a considerable improvement over the previous TWS 3e model. This ANC system automatically adapts its intensity depending on what it picks up from the surroundings. Whether you are driving through heavy traffic or are trying to enjoy your music on public transportation, the Vivo TWS 5e is made to deliver an immersive and quieter audio experience.
Huge Battery Life
When it comes to battery performance, the Vivo TWS 5e stands out from the rest with up to 13 hours of playback from the earbuds on a single charge. In total, including the battery in the case, users can enjoy up to 55 hours of battery backup, meaning that for multiple days in a row, you can continue listening without needing to charge them. The case can be charged using a USB Type-C cable, the standard in the smartphone market.
Audio Quality
The earbuds feature an 11mm dynamic driver designed for deep bass and clear vocals. Vivo has included support for AAC, SBC and LC3 codecs, further enhancing wireless audio performance. To make listening more enjoyable for everyone, Vivo has also incorporated their DeepX 3.0 sound tuning technology, in addition to Spatial Audio. When paired with each other, these features are responsible for widening the soundstage of the audio being listened to.
Gaming and Connectivity
Dedicated low latency mode on the Vivo TWS 5e ensures accuracy while gaming; according to Vivo, it can reduce latency to 42ms, helping match up the audio and visuals more closely in fast-paced games. Connectivity for the earbuds is provided by the newly released Bluetooth 5.4, offering stable wireless performance and efficient power consumption. It supports dual device connectivity, meaning you can remain connected to both your phone and computer at the same time, easily switching between them as you need.
Lightweight Design
Vivo has stuck with its popular stem-style design for the TWS 5e. With the included soft silicone ear tips that provide passive noise isolation, the earbuds fit snugly in your ear, and since each earbud weighs just 4.3 grams, it’s comfortable enough for long listening sessions. The charging case comes in a compact, oval-shaped body that will easily fit into your pocket or bag, and despite its battery size, it’s still conveniently portable.
Final Verdict
The Vivo TWS 5e seems like it is turning out to be one of the most impressive budget wireless earbuds of the year. With adaptive ANC up to 55dB, 55 hours of battery life, Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity, Spatial Audio, and ultra-low 42ms gaming latency, Vivo has successfully managed to integrate all the important flagship features into a budget device. If they come to international markets at the same price point, these earbuds could dominate the budget true wireless audio segment.
