Mr. Paigham Danish, Head of Product & GTM, vivo India, said, “Today, consumers expect their audio devices to do much more than simply play music. They want immersive sound, dependable battery life, clear calls and seamless connectivity that fits effortlessly into their everyday lives. With vivo Buds, we have brought together these experiences in a lightweight and thoughtfully designed product, while marking vivo’s entry into the IoT space and expanding our ecosystem beyond smartphones. From 50-hour battery life and high-resolution audio to AI-powered call noise cancellation and low-latency gaming, vivo Buds are designed to be a versatile companion that keeps up with how users listen, communicate, and connect every day.”
vivo Buds are designed to keep users connected to their favourite content for longer, offering up to 50 hours of total battery life with the charging case and up to 12 hours of music playback on a single charge. For users on the move, a quick 10-minute charge delivers up to 4 hours of music playback, helping minimize interruptions throughout the day. For calls, the earphones offer up to 7 hours of talk time on a single charge.
At the heart of vivo Buds is a 10mm High-Resolution Speaker Driver, engineered to deliver crisp highs, detailed mids and responsive bass. The driver combines a flexible PU material with lightweight, high-rigidity Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK), helping reduce distortion while improving sensitivity and sound detail.
Complementing the hardware are dedicated sound effects2, offering sound profiles including Mega Bass, Clear Voice and Clear High Pitch, alongside a dedicated Audiobook Listening mode. Users can further personalise their listening experience with a 10-band customizable EQ, allowing them to fine-tune the sound across different frequency ranges. vivo Buds also support Spatial Audio1 for a more immersive soundstage, enabling an engaging experience across music, movies and gaming with four immersive modes: Theater, Concert Hall, Studio, and Live Concert. The feature requires compatible vivo devices.
For users who rely on their earphones for calls throughout the day, vivo Buds feature Dual-Mic AI Call Noise Cancellation3. Using intelligent algorithms and AI deep learning, the system identifies surrounding noise while retaining and enhancing human voices, helping reduce disruptive sounds such as sudden honks and wind noise.
The Cross-Flow Duct Design further enhances wind-noise resistance by redirecting airflow away from the microphone’s sound inlet. A dedicated chamber within the duct further slows airflow, helping improve call clarity in windy environments.
Weighing approximately 3.8g8 per earbud, vivo Buds are designed for a lightweight and comfortable in-ear experience. The earphones feature carefully designed silicone tips and housings, with the design team studying thousands of real human ear impressions to develop a more universally comfortable fit.
The earphones are also rated IP54 for dust and water resistance12, adding an extra layer of everyday protection.
vivo Buds feature Bluetooth 6.110 and a redesigned antenna to deliver a fast and stable wireless connection. With 42ms Gaming Latency11, the earphones are designed to keep audio and visuals closely synchronised during gaming, supporting more responsive gameplay. The Bluetooth Multipoint Connection10 allows vivo Buds to connect simultaneously with two devices, enabling users to switch between phones, tablets, PCs and other compatible devices with ease.
Beyond connectivity, vivo Buds offer Instant Pairing, Find My vivo Buds13 and Remote Camera Control on compatible vivo devices. Users can also customise touch controls through double-tap, triple-tap and touch-and-hold gestures.
vivo Buds add a touch of personality to the everyday listening experience with a Personalized Pet-Themed Pop-up Interface9. On compatible vivo smartphones, opening the charging case brings up a playful pet-themed animation, creating a more engaging pairing experience. With support of third-party interoperability, vivo Buds can also be used across different smartphone ecosystems, while features such as multipoint connection management and earphone locating provide added flexibility.
