Top 10 True Wireless Stereo (TWS) under Rs 1500

Brands are launching new smartphones every week, and the accessories market is not behind in the race. The True Wireless Stereo (TWS) market is also crowded with unlimited options; some brands are launching new products, while some brands are offering major discounts, as a result, buyers are getting confused.

Suppose you have only Rs 1,500 in your pocket or your bank account. What is the best you can buy for your ears? You can go with TWS, which has the best sound but fewer features; you can go with more features or average sound; or you can go with both, but with compromised build quality, as usually deemed. 

Below are the top 10 TWS that you can buy within Rs 1500:

Ptron Duo In-ear: You can’t get anything useful below its price point. It is priced between Rs 600 and Rs 700. The Ptron Duo In-ear comes with 13mm large drivers, passive noise cancellation, and 32 hours of battery life. Given the retail price, you can imagine the sound quality.  

These are recommended only if your pocket does not allow extra money.

Boult Z40: Add more bucks over Ptron Duo, and you can get Boult Z40; its music delivery time is almost double that of Ptron Duo. In-ear, 10mm drivers are decent enough for calls and basic music. To protect Z40, Boult has provided an IP X5 rating. These are some of the cheapest TWS products that come with ENC for hustle-free calling in crowded areas.

Noise Buds 404: The more you add money to your account, the more features you can bag, but do additional features really matter?

You have to make a complete payment of Rs 1000 to buy Noise Buds 404, which are laced with RGB lights, Bluetooth 5.3, and 10mm drivers. They also have ENC, which works well during calls with its quad microphone functionality.

Boat Airdopes 141: One of the highest-rated TWS on Amazon India, known for its long-lasting build quality. It has touch control, a 40-hour battery backup, and an IPX4 rating. Its popularity is due to its durability, a key factor often overlooked by other brands.

Realme T100: Available under Rs 1500, this model, though a bit dated, has been purchased by over 10,000 customers in the first quarter (Q1) of 2024. It offers around 25 hours of backup, Google Fast Pair support, and AI ENC for smooth calling.

Boat 161: These buds have recently seen price cuts and are now available under Rs 1000. They offer 40 hours of playback time, 10mm drivers for better sound, and feature “ASAP charging,” which provides 180 minutes of playback time after 10 minutes of charging.

Number Super Buds Pro GT9: Priced at around Rs 1200, these are some of the best-looking TWS. Known for their helmet-shaped charging case, they feature 13mm drivers and produce good sound quality (as per the ownership reviews). ENC works decently and they come with a 50 ms ultra-low latency mode.

Boult Audio Z40 Pro: The Boult Audio Z40 has a quad mic, an ENC, and 100 hours of backup. Its rubber finish makes it scratch-proof. Suitable for gaming due to its 45 ms low latency mode. It also has 10mm drivers and an IPX5 rating for rough conditions.

Number Super Buds Pro GT99: An upgraded version of the GT9, it has a 35 ms low latency mode, 50 hours of playback time, a quad mic for lag-free calls, and Bluetooth version 5.3. These are targeted at gaming enthusiasts. 

Boult X 10: The Boult X 10 features 10mm dynamic drivers, touch controls, and up to 45 hours of battery life. It also includes Bluetooth 5.3, 45 ms of low latency, and a maximum volume, which is quite impressive. The volume can be adjusted by tapping on the buds.
