Along with the vivo X300 series and the vivo Pad5e, vivo announced the TWS 5 and TWS 5 Hi-Fi, which are the successors to the TWS 4 series announced last year. The Hi-Fi version, in particular, is the result of deep collaboration between the vivo Golden Ear Acoustic Team and the Shanghai Conservatory of Music Acoustic Master Group to accurately adjust the acoustic structure and audio algorithm in order to restore every musical detail.
These feature an in-ear design, 60dB ANC with 5500Hz noise reduction, up to 45 hours of battery life, and other features. The vivo TWS 4 series headphones use Bluetooth 5.4 LE technology, are equipped with 2nd gen ceramic tungsten acoustic diaphragms, have microphones for AI call noise reduction, 44ms full-link low latency, and the Hi-Fi version supports LDAC and LHDC 5.0 high-quality audio encoding with a transmission rate of up to 1.4Mbps.
These also feature a professional spatial sound field engine for an immersive 3D panoramic listening experience and support four spatial sound effect modes. Further, these also have a special translation feature that uses both the hardware of TWS and the software of the vivo/iQOO phone to translate Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, French, Thai, and other languages.
