TWS Earbuds Archives | Exhibit Tech

The Nu Republic Cyberstud Punk isn't just another budget TWS earbud — it's a loud, unapologetic statement. With a design that demands attention, gesture-based controls, and a bass-forward audio signature, these earbuds are built for those who want more than just function. But are they all style and no substance? Here’s my hands-on experience. Design: Edgy, Unique.. and Slightly Impractical Let’s start with the most striking aspect: the design. The Cyberstud Punk earbuds come housed in a transparent case with sharp, angular accents and, wait for it, a metallic chain. Yes, it’s a bold, fashion-forward attempt that channels punk and cyber aesthetics. And to its credit, it does stand out in a sea of similar-looking true wireless earbuds. But the chain? It's a bit of a gimmick. While it leans into the “wearable tech” trend, I personally found it more awkward than useful. It doesn’t add real functionality, and most users will likely ditch it after the novelty wears off. That said, the earbuds themselves fit comfortably, look slick in-ear, and the case feels solid for the price point. Controls: Swipe Gestures That Actually Work Here’s where the Nu Republic Cyberstud Punk really impressed me. The swipe and tap controls for volume are not only intuitive but also surprisingly responsive. A swipe left decreases volume, swipe right increases it no need to fumble for your phone. This kind of implementation is rare even in higher-end models. And yes, voice assistant support like Siri works well too, so whether you're on iOS or Android, you're covered. Also Read: Realme Buds T200 Review Sound Quality: Bass-First, But Still Balanced With 13mm drivers and Nu Republic’s X-Bass tech, the sound profile is clearly designed for those who love their beats with a punch. These are definitely bass-heavy earbuds, but I found the mids and highs remained reasonably clear. Vocals aren’t lost in the mix, and the soundstage is engaging enough for casual listeners. No, they won’t please audiophiles, but for Spotify playlists, YouTube videos, and gaming on the go? They’re more than capable. Noise Cancellation & Call Quality: Functional, Not Fancy Unlike more expensive earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation, the Cyberstud Punk sticks to Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC). It’s basic, but it works. On calls and in crowded environments, background noise is reduced enough to keep conversations clear. During testing, call quality was consistent not studio-grade, but perfectly serviceable for Zoom calls or voice chats on the move. Connectivity: Smooth Once You Get the Hang of It Powered by Bluetooth 5.3, these earbuds offer a stable connection with low latency. Once paired, switching between tasks like music, calls, or gaming mode (with 40ms latency) is seamless. When I tried connecting at first it did take a while but later it was smooth to connect did not have any such problems. Battery Life: One of the Best at This Price Here’s a standout feature. The Cyberstud Punk claims 70 hours of total playback with the case and during my usage, it easily stretched across days without charging. What I personally loved the most is that a quick 10-minute charge gives you up to 3 hours of playback which is perfect for those last-minute top-ups before heading out so you do not face any problems.
