Best true wireless earbuds under Rs 10,000 in India, for August 2020

All of a sudden, we are seeing the urge towards moving towards true wireless earbuds which are famously known as the True Wireless Stereo(TWS) earbuds. In fact, in India, we are seeing a massive spike in the TWS segment. As per the latest reports, the growth is mainly driven by the ear wear category which grew at a staggering 289.2%  in Q1 2020.

Thanks to popular smartphones brands who have jumped into the TWS segment in India, we’re seeing a lot of demand for these tiny pair of earbuds in India. Although, the market is filled with budget TWS priced under Rs 5,000, there are certain earbuds that are priced above Rs 5,000 and offer better overall experience. 

We have players from Realme, Xiaomi, Samsung, JBL among the top performers under Rs 10,000 segment. And, most recently, Sony joined the party with its extra bass TWS. As with the current situation, we can consider the Rs 10,000 TWS segment as the top tier segment if not the flagships. It is also worth mentioning that TWS earbuds in this segment do not offer any active noise cancellation as of now, at least we don’t have any in India.  

The TWS market started exploding when Apple’s AirPods made its debut a couple of years ago. Of course, just like the other Apple products, the AirPods are also out of reach for many as they’re priced pretty high. But, there are many other True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds in the market currently. If you are looking for a good pair of TWS, you’re at the right place. Check out our list of the best true wireless earbuds under Rs 10,000.
