Along with the vivo X90 series, vivo announced the TWS 3 and TWS 3 Pro, which are the successors to the TWS 2 that was announced in 2021. These include the recently announced Qualcomm S5 and S3 sound platforms, an in-ear design, dynamic noise cancellation, up to 40 hours of battery life, and other features.
The Vivo TWS 3 Pro is the first true wireless device to include independent professional audio chips, as well as Hi-Fi audio support, aptX lossless, and ultra-wideband sound units. Thanks to the latest Qualcomm S5 platform, there is also support for 360-degree spatial audio.
The TWS 3, on the other hand, is powered by the Qualcomm S3 sound platform and offers up to 48 dB of noise cancellation. The earbuds include three microphones on each earbud, enabling new dynamic noise cancellation support that adapts to the best noise reduction mode.
The TWS 3 and 3 Pro have 12.2mm drivers, Bluetooth 5.3 support, and a low latency of 55ms. The TWS 3 offers battery life of 10 hours with noise reduction turned off and 40 hours with a charging case. The TWS 3 Pro, on the other hand, has a battery life of 6.8 hours and a total playback time of 30 hours.
