With the removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack from almost all mainstream smartphones, we are quite accustomed to wireless earbuds these days.

The biggest advantage of wireless earbuds is, well, that they are wireless. Also, many earbuds are available across a wide variety of price ranges targeting all types of audiences.

If you’re in search of affordable earbuds to buy in 2024, then today we’re here with a review of the Tranya Nova Lite earbuds.

Design and Comfort

In the retail packaging, you get the earbuds along with their charging case, a type-A to type-C charging cable, ear tips in different sizes as well as the paperwork including the user guide.

Talking about the design of the Tranya Nova Lite earbuds, the buds have a thin, glossy, stem-design and ear tips that sit flush inside our ears without any discomfort.

The charging case is quite compact and has an oval shape that’s easy to carry around and fits comfortably in our pant/jeans pockets. The charging case has a glossy finish, which even though looks quite good can attract fingerprints and smudges easily.

The overall design and build quality are very similar to what you’d expect from truly wireless (TWS) earbuds in 2024.

Features

The Tranya Nova Lite earbuds offer a range of essential features. They come with Active-Noise Cancellation (ANC) that can block external noises up to 40dB, ensuring a disturbance-free listening experience. Additionally, they feature a transparency mode that amplifies ambient sounds, making users aware of their surroundings, which is useful in situations like crossing roads or having conversations.

These earbuds are equipped with 12mm premium sound drivers, delivering rich audio quality. They also have an in-ear detection feature that automatically pauses music playback when either earbud is removed from the ear, helping to conserve battery life.

For improved audio call quality, the Tranya Nova Lite earbuds incorporate four microphones. They utilize Bluetooth 5.3 for connectivity, ensuring minimal delay and superior audio quality. Furthermore, these earbuds support multi-device connectivity, allowing seamless use across various devices.

A low-latency gaming mode is available, reducing audio streaming latency to approximately 38mS, which is particularly beneficial for gaming sessions. Lastly, the earbuds are IPX5-rated, making them resistant to water splashes, sweat, and light rain.

Control and Connectivity

The Tranya Nova Lite Bluetooth earbuds offer a seamless experience when it comes to connectivity. The device latches on to the last connected device the moment you open the case.

Moreover, the multi-point connectivity feature ensures you can use the device easily across all the devices you own.

Also, with the “Tranya Audio” app, you get access to features such as modifying the equalizer, customizing the touch controls, upgrading earbuds firmware, renaming/resetting your earbuds, enabling/disabling gaming mode, viewing the battery level of the earbuds/charging case, and more.

Sound Output, Call Quality, and Battery Life

Now, let’s talk about the actual performance of the Tranya Nova Lite.

Starting with the sound output, the Tranya Nova Lite has a very impressive sound stage. The audio playback is clear and you can easily make out the lows, mids, and highs. Also, you can choose to personalize the EQ using the “Tranya Audio” app however you like it.

When it comes to call quality, in our testing, we had a very pleasant experience. We were able to hear the other party loud and clear, and they also mentioned that there was very minimal background noise in our audio.

For battery performance, the earbuds have a 45mAh battery, and the charging case has a 400mAh battery. The claimed battery life figures are up to 8 hours of listening with the earbuds, and up to 32 hours in total with the charging case.

In our testing, we were able to manage around 4.5-5 hours of continuous usage with ANC ON. Which again is a great number for a TWS earbuds.

Verdict

Now, coming to our verdict.

The Tranya Nova Lite is a very affordable pair of Bluetooth TWS earbuds with an impressive performance overall.

With a price tag of $79.99 (currently on Amazon), the earbuds offer almost all the features that we see in earbuds that sit in the $150 – $200 price range. So, for anyone with a tight budget seeking to buy TWS earbuds, this is a recommended option.

However, if the budget can be extended, I would recommend buyers check out the Tranya Nova (non-lite variant). This is because, for a difference of around $40, you can get features such as the Qualcomm aptX 3072 audio chipset, 6 microphones, CVC 8.0 for better audio calls, and much more in terms of features.
