Poco, a subsidiary of Xiaomi, has entered the Indian market with its latest offering, the Poco Pods – their first True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds. Designed to cater to budget-conscious consumers, these earbuds boast an array of compelling features.
It appears that the Poco Pods are a rebranded version of the Redmi Buds 4 Active, sporting identical design and specifications, albeit with a unique black and yellow color combination. However, don’t be quick to dismiss them, as they pack quite a punch when it comes to connectivity and audio performance.
Equipped with Bluetooth 5.3, the Poco Pods support Google Fast Pair and promise a latency of up to 60ms, ensuring a seamless wireless experience. While they lack support for the AAC codec, the provided SBC codec still delivers decent sound quality for everyday listening.
When it comes to audio prowess, the Poco Pods come equipped with 12mm drivers, guaranteeing a rich and immersive sound experience. Additionally, the built-in Environmental Noise Cancellation feature ensures that outside disturbances don’t interfere with your music or phone calls.
Ideal for on-the-go music enthusiasts and outdoor enthusiasts alike, these earbuds boast an IPX4 rating, making them resistant to water splashes, sweat, and light rain. Furthermore, the impressive battery life of up to 30 hours on a single charge, courtesy of the charging case, ensures that your music keeps going, no matter where you are.
With touch controls at your fingertips, managing your music playback and answering calls is effortless. Furthermore, you can conveniently activate voice assistants like Google Voice or Siri directly from the Poco Pods themselves.
Offering an attractive price point of 1,199 Indian rupees, the Poco Pods present a compelling option for those seeking budget-friendly TWS earbuds without compromising on essential features.
