1. Sony WF-1000MX3

Overall Best Pick

• Excellent sound output quality 
• Active Noise Cancellation
• Intuitive touch controls

BUY FROM AMAZON

Sony is a well known, multi-faceted Japanese conglomerate that doesn’t need any introduction among consumer electronics enthusiasts all around the world. 

The WF-1000MX3 from Sony is one of their flagship premium TWS earbuds that retails for a budget under Rs.20,000 in the Indian market. 

Design and Build Quality 

The Sony WF-1000MX3, as expected, has a premium minimal design with an excellent fit and finish. 

The dual-coloured high-quality charging case and the ergonomically designed earbuds justify the premium price. 

The charging case is magnetic and comes with a USB Type-C charging port with support for fast charging. There is a small LED strip upfront which glows in different colours according to the battery charge status. 

The TWS earbuds themselves look a bit bulky but fits comfortably inside the ears without falling off easily. Sony has included three pairs of memory foam and three pairs of silicone eartips inside the box so that you can choose from the ones that fit you the best. 

One major letdown of these otherwise top of the line TWS earbuds is the lack of IP rating. Sony has not mentioned whether these earbuds are water-resistant, so we advise you to be cautious enough while using them outdoors. 

Speakers and Sound Quality 

The Sony WF-1000MX3 earbuds feature 6mm neodymium speaker drivers that sound the best in its segment, even better than the Samsung Galaxy Buds+ or the Apple Airpod Pro. 

The bass notes sound very natural, without overpowering the vocals or the treble notes a bit. 

The overall sound quality is very beautiful and if you’re a true audiophile, this is the best TWS earbuds you can currently purchase in the market. 

Sony has incorporated the DSEE HX technology in these earbuds which will automatically upscale the low-quality soundtracks to have a better bass response and vocal clarity. 

Yes, these TWS earbuds from Sony come with ANC(Active Noise Cancellation) technology. You can turn it on or off accordingly. There is also an option to turn on the ambient sound reception where you can hear the sounds happening around you without having to remove the earbuds from the ears. 

Speaking of the vocal quality in hands-free voice calls, they sound very clean without a bit of distortion on either side. 

Miscellaneous 

The Sony WF-1000MX3 supports the audio companion app which helps you customize almost everything on this earbud. 

Right from programming the tap gestures to adjusting the equalizer presets, this companion app makes everything so easy. 

And of course, this TWS earbud supports wearing detection. Once you take out either one of the earbuds from the ear, the music pauses and automatically resumes once you wear it back. 

The Sony WF-1000MX3 supports NFC pairing. You can pair any NFC capable device with this earbud with just a light tap. 

Battery Life 

Sony claims that these earbuds can last for up to six hours of continuous music playback with the ANC turned on. Without the ANC, you can expect it to last anywhere from 7-8 hours on a single charge. 

With the included charging case, you will be able to juice up the earbuds three times over completely. It takes around 1.5 hours to charge the charging case from zero to full.

Thanks to the fast charging support, with just 10 minutes of charge, you can continue to use these earbuds for up to 90 minutes. 

Verdict 

If sound quality is your primary concern and not budget, there is currently no other TWS earbuds available in the market that matches the WF-1000MX3 from Sony.

2. Jabra Elite 85t

Runner-up Pick

• Active noise cancellation

Design and Build Quality

The Jabra Elite 85t is a kind of wireless earphone that is more of a substance over style. The earpieces are sufficiently bulky but not so much so that it’s a dealbreaker.

The earbuds secure comfortably inside the ear canals without any problem. You can confidently wear these earphones while performing exercises or while working out at the gym.

The in-ear stability that these earphones provide is undoubtedly one of the best in class.

Sound Quality

The Jabra Elite 85t active delivers on the sound quality with a positive note. The sound output is loud and distortion-free even at maximum volume levels.

The bass is without any artificiality and blends well with the treble while playing songs that are rich in instrumental music.

We felt that the only gripe with this product is the sound quality from the voice calls. It felt a bit distorted but apart from that, the listening experience is pleasing.

One-touch Control

You can make searches and ask them questions or even let them play your favourite tracks without even touching anything.

Miscellaneous

To control these wireless earbuds, Jabra has an excellent app called Jabra Sound Plus on both the Play store and the iOS store.

You can tweak the settings of this earphone according to your preference effortlessly by navigating through the intuitive UI.

There’s even an equalizer option where you can fine-tune the treble and bass levels according to your taste.

Since the charging case is wireless charging supported, you can juice up the battery using any Qi-certified charger. 

Battery Life

The Jabra Elite 85t wireless earphone lasted for about 5.5 hours during our testing of this product.

Without the ANC and HearThrough feature, expect the battery life to be as much as 7 hours per full charge. 

With the supplied charging case, you can charge the earpods up to three times which makes the overall battery life hovering around an impressive 25hours.

Verdict

If you’re a fitness enthusiast and want a truly wireless earphone that can be used outside, the Jabra Elite 85t checks the right boxes. Being IPX5 certified, you won’t have any trouble using this device on light rains and amidst water splashes.

Nothing Ear 1 was rumoured to be launched by July 27, 2021, but the official launch has then been postponed to August 27, 2021, exclusively on Flipkart in India. 

Design and Build Quality

The Nothing Ear 1 is nothing like any other TWS earbuds you’ve seen till now. The transparent rectangular stem which displays the circuitry inside is one of a kind in the industry right now. 

The rest of the earpiece looks almost similar to that of the Apple Airpod Pro. The fit and finish is excellent and this TWS earbud is very lightweight. 

Weighing just under 4.7g in each ear, wearing it for long periods is not a problem. 

Not only is the rectangular stem transparent, but also the charging case is transparent. Not only is this a novel design idea but it also serves a purpose. You can see if both the earbuds are inside without actually opening the case. 

This charging case has the support for wireless charging. Made from plastic, it is easy to get scratches in this case. It feels a bit hefty when compared to the charging cases of similarly priced TWS earbuds in the market.

The Nothing 1 TWS earbuds have an ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) feature that digitally suppresses the ambient noises to deliver a calm, serene music listening experience. 

There are two modes of ANC that you can switch depending on your preference. The noise cancellation works decent but don’t expect the level of noise suppression as that of the Apple Air pod. 

Miscellaneous 

You can control Nothing Ear 1 via the companion app. This app is still in its initial phase so we expect more and more features will be added in the upcoming versions. 

The media control on this TWS earbud is via touch gestures activated by finger gestures on the transparent stem.

Sliding the fingers over the stem lets you control and tapping multiple times initiates other actions which can be customized from the app. 

There is a find my earbud feature on the companion app that will make the earbud emit an audible pulsating sound for you to locate them. 

Battery Life

The Nothing Ear 1 will last for about four hours on a single full charge with the ANC turned on. With the ANC off, you can expect this TWS earbud to last anywhere from 5-6 hours.

With the charging case, you will be able to fully charge the TWS earbuds about 4 times over completely. 

Verdict

If you’re someone who likes novelty and likes to stand out from the crowd, the Nothing Ear 1 is an ideal choice.
