Wings Touch wireless earbuds

July 29 2019: If one  were to  think of audio hearing devices  as an evolutionary chain, the most evolved, the top-of-the-heap, is for me  the ear bud, easily outranking, in-earphones, on-ear headsets and everything in between.  And if like the Wings Touch,  it comes with an easy, intuitive,  touch control  for most common operations and a choice of  differently sized ear tips,  I have ticked of pretty much all the boxes on my wish list.
The biggest pain point that earbuds address is that there is no dangling wire linking the two ear pieces. The ear buds  come in a  neat box, where they get charged in situ  from a built- in 500 mAh rechargeable battery. Once  removed,  they sync with each other -- and through an app with your  mobile phone. After that, it's touch all the way on the sides  of the ear buds:  a short touch to take a call or stop it;  a longer tap to  move from one music tap to the next;  a double tap on left or right bud to  decrease or increase the  volume and three taps to activate the voice assistant, Google Assistant or Siri, depending on whether your phone is Android or iPhone.
And yes the sound is cool too  -- or should I say hot, as the bass is nicely boosted. The whole thing shouts 'class'  and costs Rs 3999. The box  proclaims: 'Proudly designed in India'.  Amen to that.  ANAND PARTHASARATHY
