Zoook TwinPods review: A worthy alternative to the expensive rivals

If you are looking around for a decent pair of wireless headphones, you have many options. Samsung and Apple had recently launched a great pair of wireless earbuds that are tiny and fit into the ear similar to a hearing aid. ZOOOK had recently launched their wireless earbuds that makes an excellent choice if you don’t want to spend too much or give up on quality. The French company’s ZB Rocker TwinPods are pretty much similar in size of that you see on the Samsung Gear IconX or the Apple Airpods, sans the protruding tail.

The TwinPods sport a similar body and design as seen on regular wired earbuds. They are Bluetoothenabled (v4.2) and pair with each other to form a stereo headset. Operational distance is up to 33 feet with no obstacles. The TwinPods have a single button each, which help with powering on the devices, pairing them with the smartphone and also to take and receive calls. You can also use the button to pause and change music tracks by merely pressing the buttons. Sadly, we did expect the TwinPods to feature a touch button to do the job as pressing the buttons need a bit of precision, especially when you are running or doing some activity. The TwinPods are fairly light and very comfortable to wear. It bundles along with three pairs of extra silicon tips and a charging case and a supporting USB cable. The earpods weigh just around 7g each and feel like they almost aren’t in. the ear tips are sweat resistant, and the comfortable snug fit makes them suitable for running or exercise.

When unused, you can place them in the case for easy mobility. The case itself is a charging dock for the earbuds. The earbuds are charged and will be ready for action when you need them. Each earbud can last you a couple of days on a full charge, with moderate usage and clubbed along with the charging case.

As for the performance, we see no issues in this department. The music is almost at par with most high-end earbuds we have used till date. The built-in CVC Noise Isolation technology does an impressive job with ambient sound disturbances.

For those concerned with the audio performance, we can ensure you that the highs and mids are very clear. The bass is good enough and we found it to be lower than usual. It lacks deep bass that one would expect from an earbud. However, if you don’t cherish deep bass, these ones are just suited for you. Call quality is also great, although we did find some of our vocals being muffled on the other end when on a call.

The ZOOOK Twinpods are an excellent choice for those who need earbuds with a completely wireless solution and a budget of `5,499.
