IGEAR TWINBOD 2.0
Unique Indeed
Homegrown brand igear has come up with a very unique product called Twinbod 2.0, which is a two-in-one compact travel accessory that combines the convenience of personal and group audio needs in a single package. Priced at Rs 2,499, the igear Twinbod wireless earpods with speaker is available in a dual-tone grey and silver colour. Let’s find out how inimitable this product is and what makes it stand out.
Design and Comfort
The igear Twinbod 2.0 comes in a cylindrical shape design with a 3W speaker at one end and a handle strap on the other. In between the two ends, there is a charging metallic case that houses a pair of TWS earbuds, and also, a charging port to refuel the device. It has a twist cover to close the charging case so that the earpods remain intact inside their slots and there is no chance of fall and getting damaged. There is an LED indicator that lights up when the device is getting charged.
The Twinbod 2.0 has a strongly built body that makes it withstand falls from an altitude as high as a study table. It can be placed on any surface where it easily gels with.
Considering its light weight and compact size, you can carry it anywhere by keeping it in your pocket or handbags. Thanks to its handle strap, the Twinbod 2.0 can be hanged / tied with your bicycle while the song is on. Besides, the company offers you a carrying pouch that gives extra protection to the Twinbod 2.0. As far as earpods are concerned, they offer a snug fit design that easily slips into your ears. They are comfortable to wear for hours causing no irritation. Moreover, igear offers two extra pair of eartips that can be used as per one’s comfort. Overall, it’s very exceptional from design perspective, as it consists of two completely different audio accessories into a single, compact unit.
Functionalities and Performance
All in a matter of seconds, you can easily switch sound from the earbuds to the Bluetooth speaker and back to the earbuds. All you need to do is simply place the earbuds back into the igear Twinbods 2.0 charging case and switch between private mode and BT speaker mode within seconds.
Like any other TWS earphones, here too, the earpods have a built-in multifunction button that can be used to Play/pause the music, Answer/reject calls, Change music track to Previous or Next song, or Redial the last called number. Besides, the device supports your phone’s voice assistance function. Simply long press the multi-function button on the earpods for 2-3 seconds and activate the voice assistance.
The built-in speaker, which features a 3W driver, delivers pretty loud sound which is enough to fill up your entire room, although it lacks punch that I was expecting. On the contrary, the earphones will offer you Ø8W, which is loud enough for your ears. Unlike the speaker which has a sound output limitation, the earbuds will offer you high bass and crystal clear mids and trebles.
Battery and Connectivity
Each earbud sports a built-in Li-ion battery that lasts up to 2.5 hours with 100% volume and 8 hours at 70% volume, while the charging case adds three more top-ups, giving you a good 10-24 hours in total. As far as connectivity is concerned, the igear Twinbods 2.0 TWS earbuds feature Bluetooth 5.0 that has a range of up to 10 metres from your smartphone.
Conclusion
The igear Twinbod 2.0 looks beautiful, is compact and highly portable. Switching between the earbuds and the speaker in a matter of seconds is the most interesting part of this device. The earpods, in particular, deliver more powerful performance than the built-in speaker, both in terms of audio quality and the battery life. You may go for this, if you are looking for a device that can cater to your personal and group audio needs.n
