Tribit’s FlyBuds C3 Bring ANC And Low-Latency Gaming To $35 Earbuds

Tribit is throwing another contender into the increasingly crowded budget earbud market, and the FlyBuds C3 are making a pretty convincing case for themselves. The new true wireless earbuds are available now for $34.99, temporarily discounted from their $39.99 MSRP, and pack features that are often reserved for considerably more expensive earbuds.

The Tribit FlyBuds C3 weigh just 4 grams per earbud, making lightweight comfort one of their main selling points. Three sizes of ear tips are included, while an IP55 rating provides protection against sweat, splashes, and light rain. Tribit also says the earbuds have been tested for 99.9% antibacterial protection, with Intertek testing showing no bacterial growth after 28 days.

For commuters, the FlyBuds C3 feature hybrid active noise cancellation capable of reducing outside noise by up to 45dB. Transparency mode is also available when blocking out the world isn’t quite what you want. Six built-in microphones use AI-based noise reduction to help keep voices clear during calls, whether you’re sitting in a café or walking down a busy street.

Battery life comes in at up to eight hours from the earbuds, or six hours with ANC enabled. The charging case pushes total listening time to 35 hours, dropping to 25 hours with ANC. Bluetooth 6.0 and multipoint connectivity allow the FlyBuds C3 to remain connected to two devices, making it easier to bounce between a phone and laptop without constantly re-pairing.

Gamers haven’t been forgotten, either. A low-latency mode cuts audio delay to 50ms, which should help keep sound effects closer to what’s happening on screen. That’s obviously not going to replace a dedicated wired gaming headset for competitive play, but it makes the FlyBuds C3 a more versatile option for handheld gaming, mobile titles, and casual sessions.

Tribit’s app adds 10 preset EQ profiles along with a fully customizable EQ, XBass, and adjustable ANC and transparency settings. Users can tune the sound and noise cancellation to their preference rather than being stuck with whatever settings Tribit decided were appropriate.

The FlyBuds C3 are available in the US for $34.99 at launch, with regular pricing set at $39.99. For that money, getting ANC, multipoint Bluetooth, IP55 protection, six microphones, and a dedicated low-latency gaming mode makes these an inexpensive all-purpose audio solution.
