The iQOO Buds 1i, a new pair of earbuds from the vivo sub-brand that was unveiled earlier this month, has made its way to Malaysia. Despite its similar name and design, the new earbuds differ from last year’s TWS 1i through its longer battery life and improved connectivity.
The Buds 1i feature a 10mm driver in each bud, paired with DeepX 3.0 stereo sound effects that includes four different sound profiles. While the budget earbuds do not come with active noise cancellation, it still offers AI-powered call noise cancellation so that your voice sounds clear on the other side.

Packed with Bluetooth 5.4, the earbuds offer dual device connectivity, Google Fast Pair compatibility, and an 88ms low latency gaming mode. As for the battery life, it can last up to 12 hours on a single charge with a total listening time of 50 hours when paired with the charging case. Additionally, 10 minutes of charging can provide an extra three hours of listening time.
The Buds 1i can now be purchased through iQOO’s official Shopee and Lazada stores. Its retails at RM129 and is only available in black.
