Poco, the Xiaomi sub-brand, has made its mark in India’s AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) market with the introduction of Poco Pods True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earphones. These budget-friendly wireless earbuds are equipped with a 12mm driver in each ear and boast an IPX4 water resistance rating.
A Seamless Audio Experience with Poco Pods
The Poco Pods feature Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity and are compatible with Google Fast Pair, offering a low latency of only 60ms for a truly smooth audio experience. Additionally, these earphones utilize Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) technology to enhance call quality even in noisy environments. It’s important to note that they exclusively support the SBC audio codec.
Convenient Touch Controls for Effortless Management
Equipped with touch controls, the Poco Pods empower users to effortlessly manage calls and music playback. A double-tap on the Pods allows you to answer calls and play or pause music, while a triple-tap enables call rejection or termination and the skipping of tracks.
Long-Lasting Battery Life and Quick Charging
Although specific battery specifications for both the Pods and the charging case have not been disclosed, Poco assures users that the Poco Pods can provide approximately 30 hours of continuous music playback on a single charge, most likely in conjunction with the charging case. Furthermore, a quick 10-minute charge is said to offer up to 90 minutes of additional playtime.
Comparison with Xiaomi’s Redmi Buds 4 Active
If you find the features of the Poco Pods familiar, it’s because Xiaomi recently launched the Redmi Buds 4 Active in India last month, offering comparable functionalities at a price of $17. However, the Poco Pods come with a slightly lower price tag, priced at $15.
