The true wireless earbuds market is heavily crowded. Every brand is promising deep bass, clear calls, long battery life, gaming mode, active noise cancellation, app support, and premium sound. On paper, most earbuds in this category look similar.
But real usage is different.
Some earbuds connect slowly. Some look premium but feel uncomfortable after 30 minutes. Some have exaggerated bass that makes vocals muddy. Some offer ANC only as a marketing feature. Others have a great design but poor microphone quality during calls.
The Spigen Audio SA-TW P10 comes into this competitive segment with a practical feature list: up to 40dB multi-mode ANC, 30 hours of total playback, 10mm bio-diaphragm dynamic drivers, six microphones, Bluetooth 5.2, gaming mode, an EQ customisation app, and IPX4 water resistance.
I tested the Spigen Audio SA-TW P10 personally, including music playback through Apple Music on an iPhone, ANC performance, basic connectivity, comfort, and app-based EQ adjustment. My overall opinion is simple: these are good everyday earbuds if you want a compact design, decent ANC for the price, easy pairing, and sound that can be adjusted according to your preference.
They are not built like premium metal earbuds. The case and buds feel plasticky. But for the expected price range, the sound quality, compactness, and useful features make them a reasonable option.
Design and Compactness
The first thing I liked about the Spigen SA-TW P10 is its compact form factor.
The charging case is small enough to carry comfortably in a pocket, backpack, sling bag, or office bag. It does not take much space, and the overall size makes it convenient for daily use. This matters more than people think.
Many TWS earbuds claim to be portable, but their cases are bulky. They become uncomfortable in jeans pockets or take unnecessary space in a small carry pouch. The SA-TW P10 case feels more practical for people who travel, commute, go to the office, attend college, or simply want earbuds that can stay in a pocket without becoming noticeable.
The official dimensions are listed at roughly 60.2 mm by 42.2 mm, and the total weight is around 46 grams including the case. In real usage, it feels compact and light enough for everyday carrying.
The black colour option also gives it a simple, neutral look. It does not try too hard to look flashy. That is a positive for users who prefer a clean, understated design.
However, there is one thing to keep in mind.
The build quality is okay, but it is plasticky.
The case does not feel cheap in a bad way, but it also does not give the premium, dense, solid feel you may expect from more expensive earbuds. When you hold it, you can understand that Spigen has focused more on keeping the product light and feature-rich rather than using premium metal or high-end textured materials.
The buds themselves are also plastic, which is expected in this category. They feel fine for regular listening, calls, workouts, and commuting. But if you are someone who judges a product heavily based on luxury build quality, you may want to look at more expensive options.
For the price, though, I would say the construction is acceptable.
Easy Bluetooth Connection
One of the strongest practical points of the Spigen SA-TW P10 is easy connectivity.
You do not need to go through a complicated setup process. Just enable Bluetooth on your phone, open the charging case, and connect the earbuds from the Bluetooth device list. The process was simple during testing.
The earbuds use Bluetooth 5.2, which is still a reliable standard for TWS devices. It supports stable everyday connection performance and has a listed operating range of up to 10 metres.
On my iPhone, pairing was smooth. Once connected, the earbuds were ready to use without unnecessary steps. This is important because many people do not want to download an app or create an account before listening to music.
You can start with the default connection and then use the Spigen Audio app later if you want more control over the sound profile and ANC modes.
For regular users, easy pairing matters more than a long list of technical specifications. A good pair of earbuds should connect quickly when you need them. The SA-TW P10 does that well.
Sound Quality: Balanced and Customizable
Sound quality is always subjective.
Some users like heavy bass. Some want vocal clarity. Some prefer a bright treble response. Others want warm sound for relaxed listening. This is why having an app-based EQ option is useful.
The Spigen SA-TW P10 uses 10mm bio-diaphragm dynamic drivers. Spigen says these drivers are tuned for a balanced sound profile with articulate bass and crisp treble.
During my testing with Apple Music on an iPhone, the audio quality was good.
The sound was not overly aggressive. It did not push bass so much that vocals disappeared. It also did not feel painfully sharp at the top end. Out of the box, the sound profile is suitable for casual music listening, podcasts, YouTube videos, and general daily use.
I changed the equaliser settings through the app to get a medium-treble profile, and that improved my listening experience. I prefer a balanced sound where vocals are clear, instruments have room, and treble is present without becoming harsh.
With the EQ adjustment, the earbuds performed better for my preference.
This is where the companion app becomes useful. Spigen provides five preset sound profiles and a customisable equaliser, so users can change the sound according to the music they listen to most.
For example:
-
If you listen to Bollywood, Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi, or Telugu songs with strong vocals, you may prefer a balanced or medium-treble EQ.
-
If you listen to EDM, hip-hop, workout playlists, or bass-heavy tracks, you can increase the low-end response.
-
If you mostly watch interviews, podcasts, classes, or YouTube content, a clearer vocal-focused profile can work better.
-
If you want a more relaxed listening experience, reduce aggressive highs and heavy bass.
The key point is that these earbuds are not locked into one sound signature. You have some room to tune them.
For the price, the sound output is good. Do not expect audiophile-level detail, premium codec support, or the depth of high-end earphones. But for normal consumers who want enjoyable music, decent clarity, and EQ flexibility, the SA-TW P10 does a good job.
Active Noise Cancellation Performance
The Spigen SA-TW P10 comes with what the company calls 4 Multi-Mode ANC Pro, with noise cancellation claimed at up to 40dB.
Now, ANC claims should always be understood carefully.
A “40dB ANC” number does not mean all real-world sounds disappear completely. Earbuds in this category cannot create total silence. Loud voices, sudden sounds, high-frequency noise, wind, traffic horns, and conversations may still be audible depending on the environment.
But ANC can reduce continuous background noise.
During my testing, ANC was working fine considering the price.
It helped reduce the steady noise around me and made music listening more comfortable. It is useful in situations such as:
-
Office air-conditioner noise
-
Ceiling fans
-
Low vehicle noise
-
Bus or train background sound
-
Café ambience
-
Indoor crowd noise
-
General city noise while commuting
The effect is noticeable when you switch from normal mode to ANC mode. The environment feels slightly more controlled, and music becomes easier to hear without increasing the volume too much.
That said, do not compare it directly with flagship ANC earbuds from Apple, Sony, Bose, or premium Samsung models. Those products use more advanced hardware, processing, microphones, and tuning.
The Spigen SA-TW P10 ANC should be judged in its own price segment.
In that context, it performs well enough. It is not only a feature written on the box. It makes a practical difference in daily use.
The earbuds also include transparency mode, which is useful when you need to hear people, announcements, traffic, or your surroundings without removing the buds.
Transparency mode is helpful when you are waiting at a station, sitting in an office, walking outside, or speaking briefly with someone.
Six Microphones and Call Quality
Spigen has included six microphones in the SA-TW P10, which means three microphones per earbud. The aim is to improve voice pickup and help reduce surrounding environmental noise during calls.
For casual calls, the microphone performance is decent.
Your voice comes through clearly in a reasonably quiet environment. For calls from home, office, indoor spaces, or normal streets, the earbuds are suitable.
However, as with most TWS earbuds in this range, you should not expect perfect call clarity in extreme outdoor conditions. Strong wind, heavy traffic, crowded areas, or loud construction noise can affect the microphone performance.
The six-mic setup is useful, but it cannot defeat every environmental sound.
For normal work calls, WhatsApp calls, quick client calls, family conversations, and voice notes, it should be fine. If your work depends on crystal-clear outdoor calling every day, you may want to consider a higher-end headset or dedicated microphone setup.
Gaming Mode
The SA-TW P10 includes a low-latency gaming mode, designed to reduce delay between what you see on screen and what you hear in the earbuds.
Gaming mode is useful for mobile games where sound cues matter. It can also help while watching videos, especially if you are sensitive to audio delay.
For casual gaming, YouTube, Instagram Reels, Netflix, and mobile entertainment, the experience is good. The audio feels responsive enough for normal use.
Hardcore competitive gamers may still prefer a wired earphone or a specialized low-latency gaming headset. Wireless audio always has some practical limitations compared with a direct wired connection.
But having a gaming mode is still a useful addition in this price segment. It gives users another reason to choose these earbuds over a basic TWS model.
Battery Life
Spigen claims up to 8 hours of playback from the earbuds on a single charge and up to 30 hours of total playback with the charging case. Other listings state that the total 30-hour figure applies with ANC turned off, which is common for TWS earbuds because ANC consumes more battery.
In real life, battery performance will depend on volume level, ANC use, call duration, gaming mode, EQ settings, and the type of content you play.
If you listen at high volume with ANC turned on constantly, expect lower battery life than the maximum claim. If you use the earbuds at moderate volume for music, calls, and normal commuting, the case should comfortably support several days of casual usage before needing to be charged again.
For office use, travel, college, and daily commuting, 30 hours of total playback is a practical number. You are unlikely to feel anxious about charging every night.
The case uses USB charging, and it includes an LED battery indicator to help users understand the remaining power level.
IPX4 Water Resistance
The Spigen SA-TW P10 has an IPX4 water-resistance rating.
This means it can handle sweat and light splashes. It is suitable for workouts, walking, running, gym sessions, and light rain exposure.
However, it is not waterproof.
Do not wear it while swimming. Do not take it into the shower. Do not wash the earbuds under running water. Do not leave the charging case in a wet bag.
For regular fitness and daily outdoor use, IPX4 is enough. It gives basic protection against sweat and small accidental splashes.
Should You Buy the Spigen SA-TW P10?
The Spigen Audio SA-TW P10 is a good everyday TWS option for users who want a compact case, simple Bluetooth pairing, adjustable sound, decent ANC, app support, and enough battery life for regular use.
It is particularly suitable for:
-
iPhone and Android users looking for easy daily earbuds
-
Students and office users
-
People who travel or commute frequently
-
Casual music listeners
-
Users who want ANC without spending flagship-earbud money
-
People who prefer EQ customisation
-
Casual mobile gamers
-
Gym users who need basic sweat resistance
The earbuds may not be ideal for people who expect premium materials, ultra-high-end audio detail, the strongest possible ANC, or professional-level outdoor call quality.
The build quality is plastic, and the case does not feel premium. But it is compact, functional, and light. The buds are comfortable enough for normal use. Sound output is good, especially after adjusting the EQ. ANC works fine for the price. Pairing is easy, and the 30-hour total battery claim makes it convenient for daily use.
Final Verdict
After testing the Spigen Audio SA-TW P10 with an iPhone and Apple Music, I can say that it delivers a balanced experience rather than trying to win in only one category.
The compact case is one of its strong points. Connectivity is simple: enable Bluetooth, connect, and start using it. The ANC is decent for the price, especially for continuous background noise. The sound is good for everyday listening, and the custom EQ helps you get closer to your preferred audio profile.
I personally changed the equaliser to a medium-treble setting, and that made the sound more enjoyable for the kind of music I listen to.
Yes, the plastic build is noticeable. Yes, it does not feel like a premium flagship pair of earbuds. But it offers a useful combination of 10mm drivers, 40dB multi-mode ANC, six microphones, gaming mode, IPX4 protection, app-based EQ, and 30 hours of total battery life.
If you find it at a reasonable price, the Spigen Audio SA-TW P10 is worth considering as a reliable daily-use TWS earbud.
