Later, Poco organized a virtual fan meet which was joined by more than 500 fans. The meet had an in-depth Q&A round with the Poco team which could be seen as a preliminary market survey to know the demand of their customers.

After the fan meet, Poco took to Twitter to confirm that the company would be launching a truly wireless headphone in India. However, Poco hasn’t revealed any details about the earbuds yet. “Further information on Poco TWS will be shared at a later point,” the company said in a statement.

The upcoming TWS earbuds from Poco will directly compete with the Realme Buds Air, Lenovo HT10 Pro, etc. in the budget section. With increasing competition in that section, we can expect some aggressive pricing from the company.
