Earlier today, the Truke BTG Storm TWS earbuds launched in India. The audio accessory is priced at only ₹1,099. For a limited time (till May 18), it will be sold at an even more affordable price tag of ₹899.

Ahead of its release, the brand sent me a unit to try out. This is my second experience with a Truke product after BTG X1 from January.

For the unaware, BTG stands for ‘Born to Game.’ The wireless earphones under this lineup are targeted at gamers.

So what makes these earbuds so special for gamers? Feature-wise, there’s nothing unique about it. The buds arrive with ubiquitous low latency mode that can reduce latency by up to 40ms.

However, look-wise, the BTG Storm is definitely a head-turner. It retains the RGB LEDs from BTG X1. These lights are placed on the sides of the charging case. They can be also found on the buds themselves.

Unfortunately, the lights are not customizable. They light up automatically when the case is opened or closed. Talking about opening, it is difficult to open the lid with one hand, courtesy of the case’s peculiar shape,

The case resembles a shield. It is black in color with a carbon fiber pattern on the lid. The USB Type-C port for charging can be found on the bottom side.

As for buds themselves, they are in-ear type. So they come with silicone ear tips. The medium-size tips are pre-installed and you can switch between small and large sizes included in the box. The package also contains a USB Type-A to Type-C charging cable.

The earbuds house 13mm drivers and connect with devices via Bluetooth 5.3. Just like the X1, connectivity on the Storm is solid. I did not face a connection drop at all. They also offer support for touch controls and this feature cannot be disabled.

But I didn’t enjoy the fit in my ears. The X1 with an open-ear design was much better in this regard as it did not feel like wearing earbuds. Those buds were more comfortable. Anyways, your experience may vary as all ears are not the same.

As far as audio output is concerned, the Truke BTG Storm is better suited for listening to music falling under mid-range frequencies. The highs and lows are too sharp and can make you feel discomfort. 

Each bud has a microphone that you can use to make calls and voice chat in games. The quality is average, which is what you get from almost all the cheap wireless earbuds. There’s support for ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation) but it is not much effective, which is again common across most of the affordable TWS earbuds.

Finally, the buds are rated to last for 8-10 hours. With the charging case, they are said to offer an endurance of up to 50 hours. You can easily watch two movies back to back without needing to put the buds in the case. I had a similar experience with the X1 as well.

All in all, the Truke BTG Storm shares most of its characteristics with the BTG X1. They even cost the same as the X1’s price has now dropped to ₹1,099 from ₹1,499. 

I believe you will get a similar experience with the two. You just have to select whether you want an in-ear type or an open-ear.

Last but not least, in addition to a 1-year warranty, Truke also guarantees strong after-sales support through its network of over 250 service centers across India.

Truke is an Indian accessory brand that’s known for wireless earphones. The company also sells smartwatches.

Today, the brand has launched a new pair of truly wireless earphones under its BTG label, which stands for ‘Born to Game’. The product is officially called Truke BTG Storm.

Just like the previous BTG series TWS from Truke, the Storm also arrives with RGB lights. The lights can be found on the sides of the charging case and on the buds as well. Unfortunately, they are still not customizable.

The case looks like a shield or a badge. The earbuds are in-ear type and use silicone tips. They feature 13mm drivers.

The accessory comes with Bluetooth 5.3 for connectivity. It supports SBC and AAC audio codecs. It also offers touch controls and ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation) for calls.

The IPX4-rated buds arrive with a low latency mode for gaming. The latency reduces up to 40ms in this mode. Finally, there is a microphone on each bud.

The buds house a 40mAh battery each, while the case includes a 300mAh battery. The company claims that the buds can last around 8-10 hours on a full charge. With the charging case that charges via a USB Type-C port, the total endurance is rated at up to 50 hours.

The Trule BTG Storm earbuds are priced at ₹1,099. But for today (May 17) and tomorrow (May 18), it will be sold at a discounted price of ₹899.

The TWS product can be purchased from either Amazon, Flipkart, or Truke.in.
