Indigi TWS Gaming Earbuds Review (Low Latency Hi-Fi BS)

Welcome to a quick review of the Indigi TWS gaming earbuds. This is a pair of cheap $20~$25 earphones that littered all over Amazon, eBay, and even Walmart. What caught my eye was the pretty wild gap between “excellent” and “rubbish” reviews… Is this pair of TWS any good? Read on!

 

THE OVERVIEW

FIRST IMPRESSIONS & UNBOXING

The packaging gave me a pretty good first impression, nothing about it seems “low quality”. Although the design of the box is a little dumb, it took me quite some time to wrestle it open.

 

WHAT’S INSIDE?

• Earphones.
• Charging case.
• USB-C charging cable.
• Extra earbuds.
• Instructions in English.
• Carrying case (although it is not even useful…)

Notice that the LED on the right earpiece is not working? Yep, I initially thought that it needed to be paired before both will light up, but I was wrong – There is sound on both earpieces after pairing, but the LED is just straight-up busted. A huge minus “out of the box”.

 

 

 

QUICK WALKTHROUGH

I won’t say that the design is bad, but does this not remind you of a Pokeball? A black Razer wannabe Pokeball? Either way, the build quality is decently good and solid. The box stays closed even when turned upside down, it will only open if you shake it aggressively.

The earphones come with the very common “toothbrush” design, and it touts itself to be IPX5. Personally, I think these will survive some sweat and water droplets. But waterproof? Just nope.

 

 

 

SOUND PROFILE

• Lows – Flat.
• Mids – Decent.
• Highs – Flat.
• Clarity & Soundstage – Flat, monotonous, muffled.

I have two words to describe the overall sound quality – Dull and dry. For a pair of earphones that tout itself to be “Bluetooth 5.0 HiFi music low-latency gaming”, this is complete rubbish. How did people come to the conclusion of “good sound”? It’s either I have very demanding ears, some people don’t care about sound quality, or those are paid comments.

 

NON-EXISTENT NOISE CANCELLATION

Another claim that they made is “noise cancellation”, which I fail to find anywhere. Noisy traffic still leaks through, noisy TV still leaks through, this earphone does absolutely nothing to cancel or lighten environmental noise.

 

 

WIRELESS RANGE

This is advertised to be using “Bluetooth 5.0”, which should technically have a range of up to 10m (30 feet). But guess what? Somewhere a little across half an open living room, this thing goes limp. It still works, but the range is not as advertised.

 

 

BATTERY LIFE & CHARGING

Quick confession – I couldn’t continue using this pair of earphones past 1 hour. But it had about 60% battery left, so I am guessing the “up to 4 hours music playtime” is also pretty much bollocks. Will probably last 3 hours at best. Well, at least it uses USB-C for charging, and not the outdated micro USB.

 

 

TECHNICAL SPECS

• Bluetooth: 5.1
• Frequency Response: 20Hz to 20KHz
• Sensitivity: -90dBm
• Play Time: About 4 hrs
• Continuous Talk Time: About 6 hrs
• Charging Port: USB-C
• Waterproof: IPX5

This is what was given, but I am guessing half of them are false.

 

THE GOOD

• Affordable.
• At least it connected without issues.
• Has LED?

 

 

THE BAD

• Bad sound quality.
• Insensitive touch controls.
• Broken LED, bad QC.
• Riddled with false marketing.

 

AFTERTHOUGHTS

After owning this for several months, it is still sitting inside a box somewhere. Can’t find enough love to use this one, not even as a pair of “spare earphones”… Still can’t figure out why people give this a 5 stars review. So yeah. If you are not ready to accept the subpar audio quality, this will end up as a waste of money.
