Poco’s first truly wireless earphones to be called Poco Pop Buds, name confirmed after Twitter poll

Poco has announced that its first truly wireless earphones will be called the Poco Pop Buds. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer conducted a Twitter poll, allowing its customers to choose the name of the new product. Twitter users were given four options to choose from – Poco Move Buds, Klip Buds, Pop Buds and Poco Funkz. Poco Pop Buds got the highest share of votes (42.4% out of a total 21,416 votes), thereby confirming the name of the upcoming product.

“Hey POCO fans, a few weeks back, we asked you which product we should bring next and you chose TWS (earbuds). We're happy to announce that we're a step closer in making it a reality and want your help in choosing a name for it. Vote and let's know what we should call it,” C Manmohan, General Manager, POCO India had said. 

The company had officially announced its foray into the TWS category in the month of April through an engaging Twitter poll that favoured the brand’s entry in the wearables category.

In an exclusive interview with Zee Business last month, Manmohan had revealed that the ongoing lockdown had allowed him to spend some time for introspection which eventually led to company’s entry into the truly wireless earphone segment. 

“I was having a call with my team and we were discussing if we should enter other categories as well. I remember you asking me if we will look beyond smartphones or not. So, we thought since everyone is home these days and spending time on social media, let’s ask them. That’s how we started the poll and people voted for TWS,” Manmohan explained.

“We said cool… let’s start working on TWS,” he added.

The product will take a while before it is launched. The company hasn’t yet set a timeline on the launch of the product.
