In the past few months, many brands in True Wireless EarBuds have been trending in the market. With so many options and brands to choose from, it becomes difficult for a customer to decide which one is suitable for him/her. There are many recent start-ups or new entrants in this segment. Many established top-notch brands now joining this bandwagon of launching their own Wireless Earbuds to stay put in the competitive market. Moreover, as a recent trend, many smartphones at this point in time are not having 3.5 mm headphone jack support. Without the headphone jack it is way to difficult for us to live, so here comes an alternate to this. Here are some major points that must be considered while deciding to buy a suitable device.
We have reviewed ELAP TouchPods Touch Control True Wireless Earbuds (TWS) in our daily life routine to check whether it makes a good buy. The device was sent by a new start-up manufacturer from their facility in Mumbai, Maharashtra. During our tests, we checked the performance in different types of scenarios.
Design
Many brands are simply copying the same type of design. We are really happy to see that brand is not inspired by any kind of trend and making its product unique. Product dimensions are 10.4 x 9.2 x 3.8 cm and weigh 141g which makes this a portable device. It has IPx5 sweatproof certification which makes it an ideal purchase for joggers.
Features & performance
On the Wireless case, there are four LED dots to show the remaining battery. The charging case is made up of plastic which feels just okay in hand. On top of the case, there is ELAP branding which looks great. Below the LED battery display there is a charging port. Unfortunately, there is no fast charging support. Earbuds look elegant and fit in the ear comfortably. Even if you are going to use these in your morning walk this is appropriate and does not drop out easily from your ear. On the Earbuds both left and right sides, there are minimal looking circular shape LEDs.Well located and accessible touch functionalities. Well overall we find the design to be interesting there can some small improvements as far as plastic quality is concerned. Even at this price, product quality is fully justified.
A different product which delivers quality
Mostly all products lack some kind of features but ELAP earbuds have excelled well in this context. While driving, you can attend or decline your calls directly from your earbuds once paired. With Google Assistant/ Apple’s Siri support one can do many basic tasks like placing a call, setting up reminders, and even more. You can adjust your music volume, change music, accept calls with the multi-touch feature. This Wireless Earbud supports Bluetooth 5.0.
We did not notice any kind of frequent disconnections or music playback problems. While playing PUBG we did found a delay in output but it was very small and can be ignored. The product is easily found on Amazon.in.
Battery
Thankfully, no you don’t have to worry to keep charger all the time with you. Once you charge the case it just works like a power bank for your earbuds. Once you place them inside the case they will automatically be charged.
A whopping 550 mah battery fully charging both earbuds offering playtime of up to 16 hours at 70% volume so you can enjoy your music all day, every day.
Verdict
The ELAP True Wireless Touchpods is a quality product offering from a new start-up venture. The product has been found to be of good quality. A must buy for the quality-conscious users and quite affordable in the given price band under 3K. The product includes a 12 months warranty from the date of purchase. Pairing and setup were very easy it does not require any app installations. If you are looking to get TWS for yourself then you must consider this option.
