iQOO TWS Air Pro to launch as the brand's first noise

Chinese smartphone maker iQOO is scheduled to launch the iQOO Neo 8 series on May 23 in China. A recent leak shows that the company will also launch the iQOO Pad on the same day. A new teaser poster by the company has confirmed that the brand will also be launching its first wireless earbuds with noise cancellation on May 23.

The new earbuds will be known as iQOO TWS Air Pro, according to the teaser poster. From the offical renders of the earbuds shared, it will have the same design with the iQOO Air TWS earbuds launched in October last year. That means it’ll utilise a semi-in-ear deisgn which is different from what obtains on most nois-cancelling earbuds that utilize an in-ear design.

Noise cancelling earbuds rely on the physical ability of the buds to block out anbient noise from eantering into the ear canal. Thus, since earbuds using semi-in-ear design can't properly cover the ears, the noise reduction capability of such earbuds are not as efficient as that of in-ear headphones.

Semi-in-ear earbuds have their advantage, though, and one advantage is that they put lesser pressure on the ear canal. Personally, I get some discomfort when I use an in-ear earbuds for a long period. While the semi-in-ear may put lesser pressure on the ear canal, they also bring some discomfort since there are no silicon buds at the tips.

iQOO is yet to disclose the nosie cancellation technology at play on the iQOO TWS Air Pro earbuds. We await the further details from the company.
