True-wireless earbuds are gaining substantial attention in the Bangladeshi audio market, and we are going to discuss some of the go-to earbuds within the Tk 5000 range, as it is the most popular price segment for earbuds right now.
Baseus Encok W04 Pro: The Encok W04 Pro offers wonderful value in the Tk 2000 price range, featuring USB-C connectivity and wireless charging compatibility, specs that aren't generally available in the TWS earbuds in this range.
Although it does not have Hi-Res audio support, it does have a good soundscape that casual listeners would love.
Also, the Encok W04 Pro's no-frills pairing and sleek matte appearance along with the practical features make it recommendable for people who are looking for a decent, budget TWS earbud.
Edifier X3s: The Edifier X3S has the best battery life in the Tk 3000 category, with an outstanding 8-hour battery life which is very welcome in the budget segment. Although the build quality of the case is not very satisfactory, the earbuds themselves have a comfortable shape.
The X3s has good mid and low sound, but not the best treble performance, and the overall music experience is very pleasant. It has surprisingly good call quality and gaming performance too. Features like gaming mode, IPX55 water resistance, voice assistant and touch controls make it a very good choice in its price category.
Anker Soundcore Note e: The note can be called the re-iterated version of the Soundcore Life P2 mini, which is very well received in the budget earbuds user community.
Although the Note E’s Tk 4000 price tag does not make it a budget option in Bangladesh, features like ultra light-weight and comfortable design, excellent bass quality, rich sound, long battery life, AAC format support and good build quality make it a good choice in its price segment.
SoundPeats Truengine SE 3: Now we are entering sub-Tk 5000 category, and customers in this price segment can demand to be picky.
If you are looking for a round-shaped TWS earbud with excellent call quality, The SE 3 is the best in this price segment.
The SoundPeats Truengine SE 3 features Qualcomm’s proprietary aptX technology, enabling it to deliver precise and high-quality sound. The battery life is 6 hours, not anything special, the case enables the user to charge the earbuds 6 times in a row, and that is truly exceptional.
Lypertek SoundFree S20: At Tk 5400, this earbud crosses our Tk 5000 budget range, but only by a small margin. However, the experience it provides makes the earbud worth the small premium.
As the popular tech website ‘techradar’ would say, “Despite their low price, it doesn’t feel like Lypertek has cut any corners with the SoundFree S20.”
It has AAC and SBC audio codec support and comes with 6mm neodymium dynamic drivers. It also has 8 hours onboard and 40 hours of playtime support from the case. But it just shies away from the heavily demanded premium feature like active noise cancellation, instead, SoundPeats have included a feature called ‘Ambient Mode’, and it also doesn’t have the best mics, providing just an average performance during zoom meetings or outdoor calls.
But the one thing it really delivers is the sound quality. If you are willing to spend good money to get an almost premium like TWS experience, the SoundFree S20 won’t disappoint you.
