I recently got my hands on the Spectre TWS from the house of Just Corseca. And, I must say that these earbuds had me curious from the get-go. Available in sleek Black and Silver, they looked pretty promising right out of the box. But let’s just be real as it is all about that sound quality and comfort, right? Well, after putting them to the test during my daily routines, I have got some thoughts to share. Let’s review them and see what these earbuds have to offer.

- Ear tips of varying sizes
- Charging cable

Design
Let’s be honest. First impressions matter, right? And to be honest, the Just Corseca Spectre TWS doesn’t disappoint me at all. The earbuds come with an all-plastic build. They are lightweight at just 4.3g each and I was able to use them for more than a couple of hours at a stretch, without irritation. It has an ergonomic design and can stay comfortably in place whether you are on a jog or just lounging around. For review, I have got the Black color variant which looks premium and elegant.
On the Spectre TWS, the USB Type-C charging connector is placed at the bottom of the charging case. The case bears the logo of the brand. Along with the earbuds and additional ear tips, the package also includes a USB Type-A to Type-C cable. In order to learn the control commands, you will first need to refer to the instruction booklet that is included.
Sound Performance
Now, let’s come to the part that truly matters, the sound. The earbuds support SBC and AAC codecs, so you are guaranteed high-quality audio streaming. The Spectre TWS is powered by a 13mm dynamic driver and is tuned for bass. If you enjoy heavy bass, you might be disappointed with these earbuds. Although the audio from the earbuds is average, vocals are sometimes overpowered by bass, and the treble is decent enough. The bass is underpowered compared to the mids and I think this is what many Indian customers like me like to hear. Nevertheless, the overall sound quality is still very good, with the majority of genres finding their sweet spot in the mid-volume level.
The combination of ANC and ENC ensures that you are completely immersed in your music without being distracted by the outside world. And with four microphones, voice clarity was good for calls indoors and below average outdoors. For the price, these feature medium call quality and decent audio overall.
Connectivity And Pairing
The pairing process in Spectre TWS is simple and easy, thanks to Bluetooth 5.4. All you need to do is turn on Bluetooth on your device, choose ‘Spectre,’ and establish a connection.
When you lift the top cover, the TWS is prepared for pairing. The JL7003D8 chipset that they include guarantees dependable connectivity. If you ask me, I haven’t had any problems with my iPhone’s connectivity thus far. However, you can only link it with one device at a time because it lacks dual-mode connectivity.
The touch controls are hit or miss and do not respond half the time. Unlike a few other buds, you cannot customize the settings. This bud only allows you to answer calls, change the music’s volume, play or pause the tracks, and control the voice assistant.
Battery
When it comes to TWS earbuds, battery life is often a deal-breaker. However, the Spectre TWS nails in this. You can listen to music continuously for up to 7-8 hours on a single charge, which I think is great. When you combine that with the charging case, you can expect a whopping 45 hours of playback. Additionally, the Type-C interface allows you to recharge your device in less than 1.5 hours when it needs it. I personally didn’t need to charge the device once during my testing week, and that’s great.

Giznext’s Final Verdict
At the price of Rs. 2,999, the Just Corseca Spectre TWS earbuds deliver solid comfort and impressive battery life. While the sound quality is decent, the bass can sometimes overpower vocals. With easy connectivity and reliable ANC, they are a decent pick, though bass lovers might want to explore other options.
