New Audio Solutions for Everyday Use
The ENTRY STAR 129 TWS leads the audio lineup with a clear emphasis on battery longevity. It delivers up to 50 hours of total music playback and 180 hours of standby time. Equipped with Bluetooth 6.0 for stable connectivity, it features a 13mm composite film speaker designed to produce balanced sound. For gaming enthusiasts, the inclusion of a 40ms low latency mode helps keep audio synchronized with on-screen action. It also carries an IPX4 rating, offering protection against water splashes, which is reassuring for casual outdoor use.
For users who prioritize call clarity, the ENTRY STAR 133 TWS introduces a quad-mic system aimed at improving voice pickup. It stands out with up to 60 hours of playback, the highest battery life among the three TWS models. Meanwhile, the ENTRY STAR 134 TWS adds touch-based volume controls and integrates wind noise reduction technology, which can make a noticeable difference during outdoor calls. Both the 133 and 134 models are powered by 13mm drivers and Bluetooth 6.0 technology, ensuring consistent wireless performance across the lineup.
The ENTRY STAR 139 Neckband caters to those who still prefer a tethered design. While TWS earbuds are undeniably popular, some users appreciate the added security of a neckband, especially for workouts or commutes. This model provides up to 30 hours of playback and features magnetic earbuds that snap together when not in use. It also includes noise reduction technology to help maintain clearer audio during calls in busier environments.
Smart Wearables and Charging Hardware
Moving beyond audio, the ENTRY STAR 101 Smartwatch introduces a large 2.2 inch sports display. Designed with durability in mind, it comes with an IP68 water resistance rating, making it suitable for workouts and outdoor conditions. It supports wireless charging and includes a built-in speaker that allows users to take calls directly from the wrist. Interestingly, the package also includes two strap options, offering a bit of flexibility in styling without needing additional purchases.
For charging needs, the ENTRY STAR 132 Charger delivers 45W fast charging support. It is bundled with a Type-C cable and is built to power modern smartphones and tablets efficiently. At a starting price of INR 299, it appears positioned as an affordable yet practical accessory for everyday charging requirements.
Portable Entertainment and Connectivity
The ENTRY STAR 124 Speaker rounds out the series with a 19 inch wireless soundbar-style design and a 30W output. It supports multiple input options, including FM radio, AUX, TF cards, and USB, which adds versatility for users who still rely on offline playback sources.
A dedicated TWS function allows two ENTRY STAR 124 speakers to connect wirelessly for a stereo sound experience. With up to 8 hours of playback on a single charge, it seems well suited for small gatherings or casual indoor use. The portability factor, combined with the output power, gives it a practical edge in its price segment.
Commenting on the launch, U&i Founder and Director, Paresh Vij, stated that the company focuses on understanding how people integrate technology into their daily routines. He emphasized that the ENTRY STAR series is centered on practical features and accessible pricing to strengthen the brand’s presence in the Indian market.
