Top Five True Wireless Earbuds For Every Mood And Untangled Experience

Cut the wire and move with the music and bass. True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds are the solution for your freestyle music.

They give you the freedom to enjoy songs anywhere, pick up calls and record audio from a distance from your smartphone. A decent TWS with a good-quality microphone can help you create YouTube videos if you are a vlogger or content creator. However, the market is cluttered with multiple options, and it's not an easy task to find the right one because some are overpriced and others simply contribute to e-waste.

Cheap earbuds are just wireless versions of budget wired earphones and as a result, they don’t perform up to expectations. Basic earbuds feature low-quality microphones without ANC or ENC support. Hence, you have to keep the mic close to your mouth to speak clearly—something you can’t do with TWS earbuds. This is why it's recommended to invest in a good product rather than using half-baked ones, as these often become problematic.

The INR 5,000 segment is the sweet spot for investing in TWS earbuds. At this price, you get a durable body, decent-sized drivers, a useful microphone and effective ANC features. We have found the best TWS options within this segment.
