The Vivo TWS Air3 Pro are lightweight semi-in-ear earbuds, weighing just 3.8g each, designed to stay comfortable even during long listening sessions.

They come equipped with 12mm drivers and the latest Bluetooth 6.0 for stable connectivity. Audio codecs like AAC, SBC, and LC3 are supported, while DeepX 3.0 audio tuning enhances bass, vocals, and treble. The earbuds also feature spatial audio for a more immersive sound and use a triple-mic setup to deliver up to 50dB of active noise cancellation during calls and music playback.

You get two battery life options. One offers up to 9.5 hours on a single charge and up to 47 hours with the case, while the extended battery variant stretches that to 52 hours total. A quick 10-minute charge gives around 3 hours of playback.
