Breaking Down Each Product
Entry Star 156 ANC Neckband — ₹799
Let’s be real — finding Active Noise Cancellation under ₹800 was near impossible until now. The Entry Star 156 delivers ANC alongside an impressive 50 hours of music playback and 100 hours of standby. There’s also a quirky 4-mode voice changer built in — useful for call privacy or just having fun. Available in black, blue, and green.
For context, Active Noise Cancellation technology works by using microphones to pick up ambient sound and generating an inverse wave to cancel it out — a feature that was exclusively premium territory until recently.
Entry Star 172 Powerbank — ₹599
A 10,000mAh powerbank at ₹599 with 17W fast output and three ports (2x USB + 1x Type-C) is strong value for daily commuters and travellers. Charge your phone, earbuds, and smartwatch simultaneously without hunting for priority. Comes in white and black.
The Car Charger Trio — ₹399 to ₹549
This is where U&i gets serious about road warriors:
- 165W (₹549) — Professional-grade output with Smart Chip safety tech; bundles a USB-C cable
- 145W (₹499) — Heavy-duty fast charging for laptops, phones, and tablets on the go
- 65W (₹399) — Dual-port with both QC and PD; perfect for two-device charging simultaneously
All three support QC (Quick Charge) and PD (Power Delivery) protocols and feature an integrated Smart Chip for stable, safe power management across device types.
Why This Launch Actually Matters
The Entry Star Series isn’t trying to compete with flagship tech — it’s filling a very real gap for India’s massive mid-market: users who want reliable performance without paying flagship prices. At these price points, U&i is essentially democratising features that were ₹2,000+ territory just two years ago.
