Forget AirPods, Infinix launches iRocker TWS for ₹1,499

Infinix on Friday announced its foray into truly wireless earbuds segment in India. The company has introduced a new sub-brand called “Snokor”. The first product under the new lineup is iRocker. Priced at ₹1,499, the TWS earbuds will be available online exclusively via Flipkart.com starting July 31.

The Snokor iRocker comes with Bluetooth 5.0 support. It features goose egg-like design and is said to have a slip-proof fit. Each of the earbuds weighs just 4.6 gm and has IPX 4 that makes them lightweight, and sweat and splash-proof. The earbuds come in two modes: single and double. The single-mode lets you quickly switch off one of the earbuds to take calls. Moreover, the buttons feature high-end PU with titanium coating.

The device is said to deliver up to 20 hours of back up. Equipped with 300mAh + 40mAhx2 batteries that offer up to 20 hours of playtime, the earbuds also come with a quick charge feature to replenish the batteries within a few minutes.

It also features a multi-function button control for better navigation. Infinix says the wearable has high fidelity speakers for an immersive audio quality when listening to the music or taking a call.

The multi-function button allows users to control music. For instance, a single tap can play or pause music. Double-tap takes the next song. Similarly, triple tap takes you to the previous song. It also supports Google voice assistant.

Infinix has joined a growing list of smartphone companies that have entered the wireless earbuds segment in India. Most of these wireless earbuds have Apple’s AirPods-like design and functionalities, albeit with significant limitations. Some of the notable ultra-low-cost earbuds are Realme Buds and Redmi Buds. Poco is also working on low-cost earbuds called Poco Pop Buds.
