Naztech Xpods Pro True-Wireless Review
The Naztech Xpods Pro offer surprising call quality and all-day comfort at a budget price, but you'll have to live without active noise cancellation.
The 30-Second Version
The Naztech Xpods Pro are comfortable, call-focused earbuds with a great mic and build. They lack active noise cancellation, but for around $70, they're a solid value. Best for daily listeners and frequent callers.
Overview
The Naztech Xpods Pro are a solid set of true wireless earbuds that focus on comfort and call quality. They're lightweight, easy to wear, and pack a surprising punch in the microphone department, which is a nice find at this price.
They're built for travel and all-day listening, and they deliver on that promise. You get a tight in-ear seal for passive noise isolation, decent battery life with a Qi wireless charging case, and a simple, reliable experience. Just don't expect them to compete with the big names on active noise cancellation.
Performance
The sound quality is good, landing in the 72nd percentile, so they're above average. The 12mm dynamic drivers deliver clear audio that works well for most music and podcasts. The real star is the microphone performance, which scores in the 87th percentile—calls sound crisp. Battery life is decent at 5 hours per charge and 25 total with the case, but it's not class-leading. The weakest link is the lack of active noise cancellation (ANC), which puts them in the bottom third for that feature.

Value & Pricing
At around $70, the Xpods Pro offer good value if your priorities are comfort and call clarity. You're getting build and mic quality that punches above their price tag. The trade-off is the lack of ANC and just-average battery life. If you can live without those features, you're getting a lot of headphone for your money.
vs Competition
Stacked against the giants like the Sony WF-1000XM5 or Bose QuietComfort Ultra, the Xpods Pro obviously lose on ANC and sound refinement. But they cost a fraction of the price. A more direct competitor might be something like the Jabra Evolve2 Buds, which are also call-focused, but the Jabras are built for office environments and cost significantly more. The Xpods Pro carve out a niche as a comfortable, call-centric pair that doesn't break the bank.

Common Questions
Q: Do the Naztech Xpods Pro have active noise cancellation?
No, they only have passive noise isolation from the in-ear seal. Their ANC score is in the 36th percentile, so if you need true noise cancellation, you'll need to look elsewhere.
Q: How is the battery life on a single charge?
You get about 5 hours of playback from the earbuds themselves. With the charging case, total battery life is up to 25 hours, which is decent but not exceptional.
Q: Are they good for working out?
They have an IPX4 water resistance rating, which means they can handle sweat and light rain. Our database scores them at 59.1 for fitness, so they're okay, but not specifically designed as sport earbuds.
Who Should Skip This
Skip these if you need serious noise cancellation for flights or loud offices. The passive isolation just isn't enough. Also, if you're a bass-head or an audiophile looking for nuanced sound, you'll want to spend more. These are workhorses, not showpieces.
Verdict
Buy these if you want a reliable, comfortable pair of earbuds for daily use, especially if you take a lot of calls. They're a great pick for commuters, remote workers, or anyone who values a secure fit and clear voice quality over booming bass or silent isolation.
