Wireless earbuds: From Samsung to Vivo to OnePlus, a look at who’s selling what and at what price

On the bike, in the park or on the treadmill, consumers have a strong preference to listen to music and stay connected by means of true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds. For the not-so geeky lot, TWS headphones refer to Bluetooth earbuds that have neither cords or wires between them nor to an audio source (smartphones, MP3 players, tablet, etc.). Since they have no wires, the mic, controls and battery are built into the housing of the earbuds. The TWS space is getting hot with most handset makers coming out with their own offerings. The idea is to seamlessly enable natural extension of smartphone capabilities (sound in this case) in a completely wireless mode. We take a look at who’s selling what and at what price.
