Homegrown brands are doing well in the TWS market. Brands like Boat, Noise, Fire-Boltt have maintained dominance with continuous launches of smartwatches, neckbands and TWS earbuds. Another Indian player, Play, has rolled out Playgo Dualpods in India. 

For starters, the Playgo Dualpods comes with high sensitivity dual drivers and Environmental Noise Reduction (ENR). The Dualpods come integrated with Enhanced Bass, Extra Loud (EBEL) to provide users reverb and thump and high sensitivity while listening to music with a high-bass audio experience. 

Playgo Dualpods pricing and availability

Playgo Dualpods are available in India at a price of Rs 1,799. The dualpods can be purchased from e-commerce platforms like Flipkart and Amazon. The device ships in different colors - Galaxy Black, Teal Green, and Space Grey.

The dualpods sport a premium grade microphone that delivers clear voice input and output while calling. The device supports voice assistants like Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant.
