Vivo has launched a new pair of TWS earbuds alongside the Vivo X50 series in China today. This is a premium pair of earbuds featuring similar 14.2mm large drivers as the Vivo TWS earbuds launched last year, but upgrades the Bluetooth version to 5.2.

The Vivo TWS Neo earbuds feature three DeepX Stereo modes for a customized listening experience. You can choose between bass-heavy mode, clear voice mode, and high pitch mode to suit the audio you are playing.

The company claims that aptX audio code ensures that you get CD-rated audio quality on these earbuds. Plus, it features dual-channel transmission 2.0 which helps improve latency and battery life. According to official figures, the Vivo TWS Neo earbuds can play audio for up to 5.5 hours on the standard AAC code and this goes down to 4.2 hours on the aptX adaptive codec.

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.
