Truke Fit Pro Power review: If there is one brand that has baffled me in the last few months, it’s Truke. The audio company has somehow found a secret formula that allows it to make earbuds at unbelievably low rates. And, there are absolutely no compromises, at least in the hardware. The Truke Fit Pro Power, for example, are priced at just Rs 1299 and yet come with features like quick pairing, 13mm drivers, fast charging and close to 100 hours of music playback with the charging case. I have had these for a few days and here is our review of the same.

Starting with the case, the Truke Fit Pro don’t feel cheap at all. The company has used rectangle-box to pack the earbuds which comes with a rubberized finish on top. It has Truke branding on the face and a Type-C using charging port. The case is neither too big nor too small but is a bit heavy. Open the lid and you get the two Dolphin-shaped earbuds on either side of a digital display which is a very uncommon yet highly useful addition. It shows the battery percentage on each earbud and their charging status.  

The buds themselves come in what Truke call Dolphin Design 2.0. They have the same rubberized finish as on the self-charging case. There is a button on each bud which gives you some control on music playback. Unfortunately, the buds are not at all comfortable. They didn’t fit well in my ears and the absence of eartips make it even more difficult to hold them. This also means that the plastic causes slight discomfort during long usage. 

What’s more heartbreaking is that the buds are also poorly tuned and feel too harsh for any genre of music. I played the ‘Train Song’ from Gully Boy and almost instantly stopped it because of the really sub-standard audio output. There is too much overlapping between the instruments and vocals. Even at full volume, you can feel that the buds are not too loud. 

Pairing the buds with the smartphone is not very difficult though. They come with Bluetooth 5.0 and Quick Pairing mode which forms an instant connection with the phone. The range is also decent allowing you to move around the house.  

The buds support fast charging means a 15-mins charge gives 3 hours of playback and in 25 mins, earbuds can be completely charged. They pack a 2000 mAh battery. The earbuds last for about 4.5 hours but the company claims a ridiculous 100-hour music playback with the charging case. The latter is almost unheard of and deserves a pat on the back.  

Truke Fit Pro Power review: Should you buy? 

If you are looking for an entry ticket to the TWS segment, then the Truke Fit Pro are one of the few reasonable options in the market. At Rs 1299, they are as affordable as the wireless game goes and offer some impressive features such as fast charging and impeccable battery life. They have decent built quality but the fit didn’t work for me at all. Also, the audio quality is way below average and that’s something you eventually seek from a personal audio device.  

I would still advise you to push the budget slightly more and consider Realme Buds Q or Redmi Earbuds S – both of which offer far greater value for money while still staying in the sub-Rs 2000 segment.
