Pros

Bluetooth 6 ensures a modern and stable wireless connection
The charging case extends total battery life to 38 hours, making the earbuds suitable for extended use between recharges
Multipoint connectivity allows simultaneous pairing with two devices
Four microphones with noise-canceling support improve call clarity
Fast charging is supported, reducing downtime
A travel bag is included in the box, adding practical value for portability

Cons

No active noise cancellation or passive noise isolation, which limits use in noisy environments
Wireless charging is not supported, requiring a wired USB-C connection each time
No in/on-ear detection means audio does not pause automatically when the earbuds are removed
The 10-meter maximum Bluetooth range is relatively limited for a wireless product
No support for high-quality audio codecs such as LDAC, aptX, or AAC

Who is this for?

The iQOO TWS Air 3 is well suited to users who prioritize all-day battery endurance, as the combination of 7-hour earbud life and a 38-hour charging case covers extended daily use comfortably. The multipoint connectivity makes it a practical choice for people who regularly switch between two devices, such as a phone and a laptop. The IP54 sweat resistance, lightweight 7.2-gram build, and included travel bag also make these earbuds a reasonable fit for commuters and active users who want a no-fuss, cable-free listening experience on the go.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who rely on active noise cancellation for focused work or travel in loud environments will find these earbuds lacking, as neither ANC nor passive noise isolation is present. Audiophiles or those who demand high-resolution audio streaming will be disappointed by the absence of advanced codecs such as LDAC or aptX, which limits the audio quality ceiling. Additionally, users who prefer the convenience of wireless charging or need automatic playback control through in/on-ear detection will find those features missing here.
