vivo has introduced TWS 2 earbuds, the successor to its first True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds that was introduced last year. It has DeepX 2.0 and DEEP-HD Ultra-Clear Audio Engine that has three parts, QHS high-bandwidth technology that modifies the Bluetooth protocol, and specifically optimizes the modulation method and packet loss information integration method in the transmission process, so the Bluetooth transmission bandwidth is doubled, from 3Mbps to 6Mbps.
There is also Bluetooth 5.2 with support for aptX Adaptive audio decoding technology. Finally, there is vivo’s self-developed Bluetooth antenna design that improves the Bluetooth signal reception performance, and guarantees 360-degree overall coverage, and promises up to 20 percent improvement in connection stability. It has 12.2mm driver unit, and has 88ms low latency mode that promises the best gaming experience.
It uses three microphones to achieve up 40dB noise reduction, comes with transparent mode, and intelligent dynamic noise reduction that can automatically adjust the intensity of noise reduction according to the environment.
