Truke Buds Elite – Design, Build Quality and Fit
The Truke Buds Elite come in a sleek case that looks good and feels smooth in hand. It’s compact enough to slip into a small pocket or rest comfortably in your palm, making it easy to carry around. We had the Black colour variant for the review, which looks good.
On the front, there’s a small indicator light along with the Truke branding in silver. The build quality is solid. The hinge feels quite sturdy and it snaps shut securely making a sound when closed. The magnets inside hold the earbuds firmly in place, so there’s no worry about them falling out when opening the case.
As for the earbuds, the TWS have the same glassy finish as the case. Together both the case and the earbuds have quite a premium look. The earbuds are lightweight and fit comfortably in the ears. After using them for almost a week, we felt these are perfect for long listening sessions and don’t really make wearing the earbuds for long hours uncomfortable.
Moreover, with an IPX5 water resistance rating, they can handle sweat and light splashes, so they’re a good fit for workouts or outdoor use.
Truke Buds Elite – Sound and ENC Quality
The Truke Buds Elite with 10mm dynamic audio drivers that promise to deliver a powerful and immersive audio experience. The bass is deep and rich, which makes them a good choice if you like punchy lows.
We felt Buds Elite to be a good pair of earbuds for regular everyday usage. Whether you’re listening to music, watching videos, or playing games, the sound feels well-balanced.
Speaking of gaming, the buds come with 40ms Ultra Low Latency. Our experience with gaming was decent. There were issues similar to not getting the sounds of footsteps clearly but considering the affordable segment, such issues are understandable.
The earbuds support AAC and SBC codecs. We felt the vocals sounded crisp and the highs and mids were decent without too much distortion at higher volumes.
Let’s talk about call quality. The earbuds feature dual microphones with Pure Voice ENC. It helps cut down on background noise for clearer conversations. We tried using the earbuds in different environments including slightly noisy areas and the voice clarity remained solid.
The ENC does a decent job of reducing unwanted noise. Since these are entry-level earbuds, you can’t really expect extraordinary performance. But these were good in making sure the person on the other end heard you without distractions.
Overall, the sound quality is impressive for the price segment and the calling experience is reliable even in slightly noisy surroundings.
Truke Buds Elite – Battery Support
Probably one of the strongest points of the Truke Buds Elite is the long battery life it comes with. You will get up to 70 hours of uninterrupted playtime as per the brand’s claim. As we tried testing the exact playtime, we were surprised that the real-world performance of the buds was quite close to the claims.
These earbuds easily last for days without needing a recharge. During our testing, we didn’t have to worry about constantly charging them.
It also comes with a Smart Rapid Charge feature. So, just a quick 10-minute charge gives you another good 8 to 9 hours of playback time.
Overall, the battery life is solid and the fast charging feature makes it even more convenient.
Verdict – Should You Buy Truke Buds Elite?
The Truke Buds Elite are good for anyone looking for decent earbuds without spending a lot. These come with a solid build and offer a comfortable fit. The sound quality is good for the price. With up to 70 hours of playtime and rapid charging that gives 10 hours of playback in just 10 minutes, these earbuds are built to keep up with your day.
Overall, the Truke Buds Elite at ₹ 799 offers a good combination of sound, comfort and battery life. If you want earbuds for music, calls and everyday use, these are a solid choice.
