iQOO has added a new pair of wireless earbuds to its audio lineup in China with the TWS 5e. The earbuds are built around a simple idea: offering a comfortable everyday listening experience while adding gaming-focused features for mobile gamers. They also bring active noise cancellation, AI-powered call noise reduction, and long battery life without moving too far up the price ladder. In this article, we will look at the iQOO TWS 5e in further detail, including its expected price in Nepal.
Key Highlights
- The iQOO TWS 5e features 11mm dynamic drivers, intelligent ANC, and spatial audio for an immersive listening experience.
- The earbuds offer 42ms low latency, Monster Sound e-sports effects, and Bluetooth 5.4 for gaming and connectivity.
- The TWS 5e provides up to 50 hours of total playback with the charging case and supports fast charging.
iQOO TWS 5e Overview
Design and Comfort
The iQOO TWS 5e follows a lightweight design, with each earbud weighing just 3.8 grams. This should make them suitable for longer listening sessions, whether you are using them at work, while commuting, or during workouts.
The earbuds also carry an IP54 rating, offering protection against dust and water splashes. iQOO has launched them in two color options: Electric White and Sharp Yellow.
Audio and Noise Cancellation
For audio, the TWS 5e uses 11mm dynamic drivers with a biomimetic composite cashmere bio-fiber diaphragm combined with PU material. The setup is designed to reduce distortion while maintaining flexibility in the driver.

The earbuds also feature intelligent active noise cancellation, along with an enhanced spatial-audio algorithm that offers different sound-field effects. For calls, AI-powered noise reduction helps filter out background noise and improve voice clarity. This separates the earbuds' listening-focused ANC from their call-focused noise reduction.
Gaming and Connectivity
Gaming is another focus of the TWS 5e. The earbuds support 42ms end-to-end latency, enabled by an upgraded Bluetooth protocol and audio codec. This should help reduce the delay between on-screen action and the corresponding audio during gameplay.
They also feature iQOO's Monster Sound e-sports audio effects, designed to create a more immersive gaming experience. For connectivity, the earbuds use Bluetooth 5.4 and support dual-device connectivity, allowing users to connect to two devices at the same time and switch between them more easily.
