Earlier today (22nd May 2020), Vivo confirmed the launch of its upcoming truly wireless earbuds, the Vivo TWS Neo. They will be unveiled on 1st June 2020 and feature low latency, which is a highly appreciated feature in the wireless category.

The hearables were confirmed online through the company’s official Weibo account for its smart products, a Chinese microblogging website. In the online post, the company shared a small teaser video that showcased the upcoming truly wireless earbuds and its charging case as well. Looking at the video, we know that Vivo will offer the earbuds in two color variants, Black and White.

Furthermore, in the teaser post, the Chinese tech giant promised two features. The first was high quality and good audio out and the second was lower latency. For those unaware, wireless earphones, while convenient, are plagued at times with issues like latency and audio delay, especially when streaming videos. This occurs mainly in TWS earbuds and sometimes make them unusable for intensive tasks like gaming.

However, with the inclusion of lower latency, this would mark a great improvement over Vivo’s original TWS earbuds that launched before. The Vivo TWS Neo sports an AirPod like design for its earbuds with an elongated portion that will house the mic, while the charging case is more rounded and oval in shape. Unfortunately finer details are currently unknown, so stay tuned for the launch event.

The Vivo truly wireless stereo (TWS) earphones are finally headed towards the Indian market, a report on 91mobiles claim. According to industry sources familiar with the development, the truly wireless earphones are currently undergoing intensive tests before the formal announcement. It is believed that its launch in India is imminent, and although Vivo India is yet to divulge official details, rumors suggest that the TWS will be unveiled alongside the Vivo V19 in March 2020.

Vivo announced the TWS earphones back in September 2019 in China. The earbuds went official alongside Vivo NEX 3 5G flagship smartphone. The key highlights of the TWS include the dual-core 32-bit processor based on a quad-core architecture along with high-definition audio decoding technology.

The Vivo TWS flaunts a 14.2mm driver that supports AAC and aptX high-definition audio decoding technology. The headset comes with Qualcomm QCC5126 chips that offer high-quality audio consistently. The earphones are IP54 water-resistant and flaunt touch-sensitive controls for adjusting the volume and playback speed. Vivo claims an average battery life of 4 hours on a single charge.

Additional features include a dual microphone with noise reduction, not to be confused with noise cancelation.

Vivo is all set to announce its big flagship for the year, the Vivo NEX 3 on September 16 in China. Today, the company revealed that it would also announce its new True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds at the same event. The company doesn’t have a TWS headphone in its portfolio yet.

Unlike its sister brand, Vivo is not really popular for its headphones. So it remains to be seen what kind of sound quality can we expect from the new device. Unfortunately, the company has shared just one poster of the upcoming earbuds with no mention of any features or specifications. So we’ll have to wait for new teasers to get more details.

Meanwhile, OPPO has released its new noise-canceling in-ear headphones called as the OPPO Enco Q1 in China recently. It uses a 3D neckband design and features dual Active Noise Cancellation with 4 mics. It costs around $84 a pair, but given OPPO’s excellent history with music accessories, we can expect impressive sound quality.

Vivo’s competition includes the Meizu TWS POP 2 (I have reviewed the first-gen mode here which was excellent!) and even the Redmi Airdots that retail for a pretty cheap price tag. In fact, you can check out our Redmi Airdots review down below!
