Tecno Buds 4

Name: Tecno Buds 4
Brand: Tecno
SKU: 67259

Manufacturer: Tecno

The Tecno Buds 4 are true wireless earbuds designed for everyday use, offering a lightweight in-ear fit at just 7.4 grams per earbud. They carry an IPX4 rating for sweat resistance, making them a practical option for active use, and come with a travel bag included in the box. The earbuds connect via a cable-free design with no neckband or wingtips, keeping the setup simple and minimal.

Powered by Bluetooth 5.4, the Tecno Buds 4 support a maximum wireless range of 10 meters and charge via USB Type-C. Each earbud houses a 10 mm driver unit covering a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, with passive noise reduction helping to block ambient sound. A 37 mAh battery provides up to 5 hours of playback per charge, while the 500 mAh charging case extends total listening time to around 28 hours combined. The earbuds also support fast charging with a full charge taking approximately 1 hour. On the microphone side, a 4-microphone setup with noise cancellation handles calls and voice input, and additional features include a mute function, voice prompts, and touch controls placed directly on the earbuds.

Pros

Bluetooth 5.4 ensures a modern and stable wireless connection
The 4-microphone array with noise cancellation supports clearer call quality
A 500 mAh charging case extends total listening time to 28 hours combined
Fast charging brings the earbuds to a full charge in around 1 hour

Cons

No active noise cancellation, relying solely on passive noise reduction
Earbud battery life is limited to 5 hours per charge
No support for advanced audio codecs such as LDAC, AAC, or any aptX variant
Wireless charging is not supported, requiring a wired USB Type-C connection
No ambient sound mode, which limits situational awareness during use
Fast pairing and NFC pairing are absent, making the initial connection process more manual

Who is this for?

The Tecno Buds 4 are well suited to everyday listeners who prioritize convenience and practicality over audiophile-grade performance. The IPX4 sweat resistance and lightweight 7.4-gram design make them a sensible choice for gym sessions, commutes, and other active routines where durability and comfort matter. Users who frequently take calls will also benefit from the 4-microphone noise-canceling setup, and those who travel light will appreciate the included travel bag alongside a charging case that stretches total battery life to 28 hours.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who demand advanced audio fidelity will find the Tecno Buds 4 limiting, as there is no support for high-resolution codecs such as LDAC, AAC, or any aptX variant, which restricts audio quality to standard Bluetooth transmission. Listeners who rely on active noise cancellation for focused listening in loud environments — such as offices, public transport, or busy urban spaces — will also find the passive-only noise reduction insufficient. Additionally, those who prefer hands-free or seamless setup features like fast pairing, NFC pairing, or ambient sound mode will need to look elsewhere, as none of these are available.
