iQOO Reveals iQOO Buds TWS Design Ahead of Launch Alongside the Z11

iQOO Buds is the name of the brand's upcoming TWS earphones, whose design iQOO revealed in a teaser campaign ahead of the official announcement. iQOO's Indian arm posted an image of the device on X, showing the shape of the earbuds and the charging case before the launch event. It marks the brand's return to the audio-accessories segment, with the rollout timed to coincide with the iQOO Z11 smartphone.

Design shown in the teaser

The iQOO Buds feature an in-ear design with silicone ear tips that should provide passive noise isolation. Whether the earbuds include active noise cancellation (ANC) hasn't been confirmed yet. The charging case has a pebble-like shape with an LED indicator on the front, the brand logo above it, and a USB-C port at the bottom for charging.

Marketing materials mention up to 50 hours of combined battery life from the earbuds and the case — a figure in line with iQOO's previous TWS models in this price segment, though the company hasn't specified how that time is split between the buds and the case.

Among the teased features is AI call noise reduction, built around dual talk microphones, a wind-noise reduction chamber, and a talk-cross ventilation duct between the earbuds, together aimed at keeping the caller's voice clear in noisy environments.

Launch date and availability

What's still unconfirmed

iQOO hasn't disclosed key technical details yet, including the Bluetooth version, driver size, exact battery capacity, or whether ANC is included. Unofficial reports suggest the device may have cleared India's BIS certification under the code name iXE W30, a step that typically precedes an official release, though this hasn't been confirmed by the brand. The full specification sheet and pricing are expected on launch day.
