Appearance

The earbuds and the case of ptron Neo TWS look good. I bought the black coloured one, and I have no complaints. 

On the front, the ‘Ptron’ logo is engraved. There is also a cut to open up the case. The sides are clear and smooth.

The lid is tight and has good quality.

There is a USB port on the bottom to charge the TWS earbuds. 

Build quality

The build quality of the ptron Neo TWS is good for the price. The hinge is decent, and the lid closes with satisfaction. Inside the case lies the earbuds. Each earbud is just 3.2gm. They are very light weighted.

For the price, I have no complaints about the build quality.

Sound quality

The sound quality is decent for the price. The earbuds don’t have a ton of resolution. Still, it is pleasing to hear. For casual listening, it is nice.

The soundstage is normal. The dynamics are decent because of the big driver. The earbuds give a sound that is not fatiguing. 

The sound is smooth. You cannot expect much textures from it. The instrument separation is decent. 

The imaging is good but not pinpointed. You can hear sounds coming from different directions, just that you cannot pinpoint a spot from where the sound comes. 

At high volumes, it distorts a bit. Also, there is no hole to maintain the pressure inside the ears, and therefore, these earbuds create a strong suction feeling.

Bass

The bass is nice. Just right. It is not too much and not too little. I like it. But for some songs, it feels like the bass is not too adequate. I wish the bass were a bit more, and that would have made this earbud a lot better.

It has a 13 mm driver, and that makes the sound bit more dynamic. 

It does hit 20 Hz in my tests. But all the drama starts only after 50 Hz. So, these earbuds are not for songs with deep low bass.

But the mid-bass is boomy. It feels like there is so much going on there. The whole sound is busy. 

Mids

The mids are smooth. The mid-bass sometimes overpowers the mids but doesn’t bleed into the mids. For vocal stuff like podcasts and audiobooks, this is nice.

Although the mids are smooth, the crispiness is missing. Also, the mids are hollow sounding. For some songs I heard, the vocals were not impressive. I wish the mids have some more authority.

Highs

This is a warm-sounding earbud. But there is the necessary amount of richness to the sound. The sparkle is not much, but it is still enjoyable. This makes the earbuds fatigue-free listening. Again, for acoustic stuff, this is good. The highs complement the mids, but I wish it were a bit more.

Listening impressions

Samjhawan

This track has good vocals and good bass. The earphones could pronounce both. The instrument separation sounded bad. There were many instruments behind the mix, and I couldn’t identify them.

But the vocals are the star of the show. The treble is okay and rolled off. The soundstage felt decent. But overall, the crispness is missing and has a midbass boom slightly. Otherwise, it sounded good.

Chori Kiya Re Jiya 

Another song with beautiful vocals. Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal have done a good job here. The earbuds could bring out the emotion in the singing. The mid sounded good.

Of course, the resolution is not that great. But the vocals have a good touch. A touch of crispiness 

should have elevated the mood even better.

Thriller – Michael Jackson

This is a track that is recorded beautifully. But it feels like an ordinary track through these earbuds. It is because of the low resolution.

Another aspect of this song is that it has great imaging right from the start. I use this song to set up my Tannoy speakers. But, with these earbuds, it sounded less pleasing. Although the imaging was there, it didn’t feel soul-stirring.

The vocals and other stuff sounded good but not to audiophile levels.

Photograph – Ed Sheeran 

This is yet another acoustic music I love. Although the sound was nice, the intimacy was missing. The treble could have been better. The guitar sounded sterile. But the big bass drum sounded nice. The background music was almost indistinguishable. Strangely, it distorts at higher volumes even with this acoustic music.

Battery life

The battery life is decent. The earbuds and the case are compact. So, we cannot expect a huge battery life out of it. Still, it manages to deliver good battery life. It does have fast charging but the data is not published properly.
