The wireless earbuds in question are the Sony WF-1000XM3. These earphones were launched back in 2019 in most overseas markets and are finally making their way to India. The Sony earphones received a very positive reception with many praises for its active noise cancelation technology and signature Extra Bass tuning. However, these earphones weren’t exactly affordable, but a lowered price tag is rumored with certain reports suggesting a special Indian variant as well.

Furthermore, the cause for such a large delay to launch in the India market could be related to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, since the local government had issued a two month long nationwide lockdown, which is only now easing up. The Sony WF-1000XM3 is said to arrive under the 20,000 INR segment (roughly 263 US Dollars) and will be available through both online and offline stores.

The leaked June 24th launch date was shared by Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings) through Twitter. His tweet also carried a promotional image that carried the announcement date. These earbuds will be the company’s first TWS earphone in the Indian market, so stay tuned for more details and its announcement.
