If you are looking for a good neckband with good audio quality, long battery life and a budget price, then the Lava ProBuds N33 is the right choice for you. Launched in India in October 2025, this neckband has features like active noise cancellation (ANC), 13mm drivers, low latency gaming mode and a long 40 hours of playback.
Design and Build Quality
The design of the Lava ProBuds N33 gives it a very premium look. The metal finish and flexible neckband sit lightweight and comfortably on your neck. Since it has magnetic earbuds (Hall switch mechanism), it automatically powers off when the two earbuds stick together. This saves battery. Along with this, it has an IPX5 water and sweat resistance rating, which is great for exercise or outdoor use.
Audio Performance
The ProBuds N33 uses 13mm dynamic drivers. Its sound is clear, with heavy bass and balanced mid and high notes. The key feature is Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) – it reduces external noise by up to 30 dB. Transparency mode helps you hear the sounds around you. Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) reduces background wind or noise during calls, making your voice clear.
Connection and Gaming Mode
This neckband features Bluetooth v5.4 technology. It provides a strong, stable connection and low power consumption. With the dual device pairing feature, you can connect two devices (e.g. mobile + laptop) at the same time.
Pro Game Mode is specially provided for gamers; it has a latency of only 45 milliseconds, so there is no delay between audio and video during video or gameplay.
Battery Life and Charging
The Lava ProBuds N33 is excellent in terms of battery. It offers about 40 hours of playback with ANC off and 31 hours of battery life with ANC on. The 300 mAh battery supports Type-C fast charging. You can get 10 hours of playback with just 10 minutes of charge. It takes just an hour to fully charge.
