The Vivo TWS 3 Pro and its sibling the Vivo TWS 3 have officially launched in China, bringing active noise cancellation, 12.2mm dynamic drivers, and Qualcomm aptX Lossless support to Vivo's wireless earbud lineup. Both models arrive alongside the Vivo X90 series and are set to take on competition from Samsung and OPPO in the global market.
Vivo TWS 3 Pro Audio and ANC Performance
At the heart of both earbuds is a 12.2mm dynamic driver paired with a 3-layer diaphragm, tuned for full-range sound reproduction. Qualcomm aptX Lossless Transmission is supported on both models, enabling high-fidelity, uninterrupted audio streaming. Rounding out the audio package is 360-degree spatial surround sound, giving listeners an immersive, theatre-like experience straight from their ears.
For noise cancellation, Vivo has equipped the TWS 3 and Vivo TWS 3 Pro with three microphones and active noise cancellation that suppresses ambient noise by up to 49dB. A transparency mode is also on board, allowing users to let in environmental sounds when needed — useful in traffic or busy offices.
Key Features: Low Latency, Multi-Device and More
Beyond audio, both earbuds pack a strong feature set. Touch controls are built into each earbud for easy on-ear management. The earbuds also support:
- Low latency mode — ideal for mobile gaming
- Multi-device dual connection — seamlessly switch between two paired devices
- Fast Pair — quick Bluetooth pairing out of the box
- Find Headphones — locate misplaced earbuds via the companion app
Battery Life
Vivo TWS 3 delivers up to 10 hours of playback on a single charge and extends to 40 hours total when used with the charging case. The Vivo TWS 3 Pro offers a combined playback time of 30 hours with the case included. Both cases support fast charging for quick top-ups on the go.
