Vivo, a prominent player in the smartphone market, has unveiled its newest true wireless earbuds, the Vivo TWS 4 series. This series comprises two variants: the standard Vivo TWS 4 and the audiophile-focused Vivo TWS 4 Hi-Fi. Both models boast impressive features designed to cater to users who prioritize high-quality audio experiences.
Immersive Audio with Active Noise Cancellation
The Vivo TWS 4 series comes equipped with active noise cancellation (ANC) technology, a feature increasingly sought after in wireless earbuds. This technology utilizes built-in microphones to detect and filter out ambient noise, reducing it by up to an impressive 55 decibels (dB). Whether you’re commuting on a noisy train or seeking tranquility in a bustling cafe, the ANC functionality aims to provide an undisturbed listening experience.
Powering the Sound: Drivers and Audio Codecs
At the heart of the audio experience lie the 12.2mm driver units present in both TWS 4 variants. These large drivers promise to deliver rich, detailed sound with deep bass and crisp highs. To further enhance audio quality, the Vivo TWS 4 supports the LDAC and aptX Adaptive codecs, ensuring high-fidelity audio transmission when connected to compatible devices.
The Vivo TWS 4 Hi-Fi takes things a step further by incorporating support for the aptX Lossless codec. This lossless codec allows for the transmission of audio data without compression, potentially resulting in a more transparent and nuanced listening experience for audiophiles.
Additional Features Tailored for the User
The Vivo TWS 4 series boasts a variety of features designed to elevate the user experience. Both models come equipped with Qualcomm’s S3 sound platform, which promises efficient power consumption while maintaining sound quality. Additionally, the earbuds boast a low-latency mode of 44 milliseconds, ideal for gamers seeking seamless audio synchronization during gameplay.
For crystal-clear voice calls, the Vivo TWS 4 series incorporates AI call noise reduction technology. This technology aims to suppress background noise during calls, ensuring your voice is transmitted clearly to the other party.
Battery Life and Design
Vivo advertises the TWS 4 series to offer up to 11 hours of playback on a single charge. The included charging case provides additional charges, extending the total listening time to a maximum of 45 hours. This extended battery life is a significant advantage for users who demand long-lasting performance from their wireless earbuds.
The design of the Vivo TWS 4 series prioritizes comfort and style. The earbuds themselves utilize an in-ear design, and users can choose from various ear tip sizes to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. The charging case offers a sleek and compact design, making it easy to carry around.
