Naztech Xpods Pro

The Naztech Xpods Pro are featherlight true wireless earbuds with a comfort score in the 95th percentile and a Qi wireless charging case. At $70 USD, they're a solid budget pick for travelers and all-day listeners who don't need active noise canceling. Sound quality is average and call quality is a weak spot, but the comfort and battery life punch above the price. If comfort is your top priority and you can live without ANC, these are worth a look.

Let's talk about that 12mm dynamic driver. Bigger drivers generally mean more air movement, which can translate to fuller bass. But driver size alone doesn't guarantee great sound. Our sound score puts these at the 54th percentile, so we're talking about average audio performance. You'll get decent low-end thump for a true wireless bud, but don't expect the kind of detail retrieval or soundstage you'd find on something like the Technics EAH-AZ80. The tuning seems geared toward casual listening rather than critical listening.

Battery life is a brighter spot. Five hours from the buds and 25 total with the case lands in the 71st percentile, which is well above average for this price bracket. The quick charge feature is genuinely useful too, 10 minutes gets you an hour of playback. That's the kind of thing that saves you when you're running out the door. The Qi wireless charging case is another practical win. Just drop it on a pad and forget about cables. Connectivity sits at the 56th percentile, so pairing is fine but not exceptional. You might notice the occasional hiccup in crowded wireless environments.

The Apple AirPods Pro 3rd Generation are the obvious elephant in the room. They cost significantly more, but they bring best-in-class ANC, spatial audio, and seamless iOS integration. The Xpods Pro can't touch that. But they also cost a fraction of the price. If you're deep in the Apple ecosystem and want the best wireless earbuds period, the AirPods Pro are the answer. The Xpods Pro are for people who want to spend less and don't need the fancy stuff.

The Sony WF-C700N is a more direct competitor. Sony's budget buds offer active noise canceling and Sony's typically solid sound tuning. The Xpods Pro counter with better comfort and a wireless charging case. The Soundcore P31i and EarFun Air Pro 4+ both undercut or match the Xpods Pro on price while adding ANC. The trade-off is comfort and build quality, where the Xpods Pro hold an edge. If you're deciding between these, ask yourself: do I want active noise canceling, or do I want something I can wear for hours without noticing?

At $70 USD, the Xpods Pro are priced like a budget option, and that's exactly where they compete. You're not paying for a premium brand name or fancy ANC. You're paying for a comfortable, lightweight pair of earbuds with a wireless charging case and decent battery life. That's a fair trade at this price. The CAD listing at $96 is a bit less compelling once you factor in exchange rates and regional pricing, but it's still in the same ballpark as other budget true wireless options.

Compared to the competition, the value proposition is mixed. The Soundcore P31i and EarFun Air Pro 4+ both offer active noise canceling at similar or slightly higher prices. If ANC matters to you, those are better buys. But if comfort is your top priority and you don't care about active noise canceling, the Xpods Pro deliver a level of comfort that's genuinely hard to find at this price. The 95th percentile comfort score isn't marketing fluff, it's backed by our data.

The Naztech Xpods Pro are the kind of earbuds that fly under the radar. No massive marketing push, no celebrity endorsements, just a spec sheet that looks surprisingly sensible for the money. You get 12mm dynamic drivers, a wireless charging case, IPX4 water resistance, and a claimed 25 hours of total battery life. On paper, that's a solid travel companion. And at 4 grams per bud, they're basically weightless in your ears.

Who are these for? Travelers and all-day listeners who want something comfortable enough to forget they're wearing. The in-ear seal does the heavy lifting for noise isolation, since there's no active noise canceling to speak of here. Naztech leans into that passive isolation angle, and honestly, a good seal can block a surprising amount of airplane drone. The Qi charging case is a nice touch too, especially if you already have a wireless pad on your desk or nightstand.

But here's the thing. Our database puts the overall score at 46.8 out of 100, which is middle of the pack at best. The comfort ranking is genuinely impressive, landing in the 95th percentile. The mic quality is solid too. But sound quality sits right around average, and the ANC score is a weak spot. If you're expecting AirPods Pro level performance, you'll be disappointed. If you want something light, cheap, and comfortable for podcasts and casual listening, keep reading.

If you take a lot of phone calls, skip these. The call quality score of 39.8 out of 100 is the weakest area by a wide margin. The dual mics with noise cancellation sound good in the spec sheet, but real-world call performance doesn't hold up. You'll sound muffled or distant to the person on the other end. Look at the Sony WF-C700N or even the EarFun Air Pro 4+ if call quality matters.

Gamers should also look elsewhere. The gaming score of 48.8 out of 100 suggests noticeable latency that will make games feel off. There's no low-latency gaming mode mentioned in the specs. And if you're someone who wants active noise canceling for flights or noisy commutes, the passive isolation here won't cut it. The Soundcore P31i offers ANC at a similar price, and the AirPods Pro 3rd Generation are the gold standard if you can stretch your budget.

For travelers and all-day listeners who prioritize comfort above everything else, the Xpods Pro make a strong case. The 4 gram weight and 95th percentile comfort score mean you can wear these for hours without ear fatigue. The passive noise isolation from the in-ear seal is decent for flights and commutes, and the Qi charging case is a genuinely useful feature that's rare at this price. If you mostly listen to podcasts, audiobooks, or casual music, these will serve you well.

But if you take a lot of phone calls, look elsewhere. The call quality score of 39.8 out of 100 is the weakest area by a significant margin. The dual mics with noise cancellation sound good on paper, but the real-world performance doesn't back it up. And if you want active noise canceling, these simply don't have it. The passive isolation helps, but it's not a substitute for proper ANC on a noisy plane or train.
