New Earbuds Can Charge Your Phone’s Battery
HMD Introduces Innovative Amped Buds with Charging Case
HMD Global has just announced an exciting new product: the Amped Buds, a wireless earbud set that comes with a unique charging case that can also serve as a backup battery for your smartphone. This innovative feature sets the Amped Buds apart from other earbuds currently on the market.
Unique Charging Case Design
The Amped Buds come packaged in a Qi2 charging case that can wirelessly charge your phone. This means if your phone starts to run low on battery, you can use the case to give it a boost. The case is designed to be slim and portable, featuring a 1,600mAh battery, which is just enough power to get you through a busy day. With a price tag of €199 (around $206), the Amped Buds are set to launch in April, though it’s not yet clear if they will be available in the United States.
Features of the Amped Buds
Active Noise Cancellation and Environmental Noise Control
One of the key features of the Amped Buds is their active noise cancellation technology, which helps block out unwanted sounds around you. Additionally, they have environmental noise cancellation, allowing you to hear important sounds, like traffic, while listening to music or podcasts.
Durability Ratings
The charging case has an IPX4 rating for dust resistance, while the earbuds themselves come with an IP54 rating, making them splash-resistant. This means you don’t have to worry too much about getting them a little wet—be it from rain or sweat during a workout.
Comfort and Portability
The design of the case is only 14mm thick, making it easy to fit in your pocket or bag. The earbuds are cleverly designed with a hinge that allows them to sit straight in the case, ensuring they charge efficiently. When you take the earbuds out, they fold their stems forward, providing a comfortable fit.
Color Options and Compatibility
The Amped Buds are offered in three eye-catching colors: cyan, black, and pink. The case features Qi2 support, which means it can magnetically attach to compatible Qi2 and MagSafe phones. This helps ensure that the case stays securely connected while charging your phone. If you have a magnetic phone case, the Amped Buds will work well with that too. Even if your phone doesn’t have this feature, you can still use the case for regular wireless charging.
Wired Charging Option
For those who prefer a wired connection, there is also a USB port on the case for direct charging. Additionally, you can use the charging case to recharge the earbuds themselves over ten times. According to HMD, you can enjoy up to 95 hours of music playback time before needing to recharge the case again—ideal for long trips or daily commutes.
A Practical Solution for Everyday Use
The Amped Buds present a clever and practical solution for anyone who regularly uses earbuds. Many people are already accustomed to carrying around earbuds, making this new charging case concept easy to integrate into daily life. Instead of worrying about your earbuds running out of battery during the day, you can count on the charging case as a reliable backup.
Benefits of Amped Buds
Convenient Charging: The ability to charge your phone while also keeping your earbuds powered is a significant convenience for modern users.
Extended Playback Time: With the case’s ability to recharge the earbuds multiple times, you won’t have to panic about losing your music playback during long periods away from home.
Stylish Design: The various color options allow users to express their personal style while enjoying quality audio.
- Active Noise Control: Whether you’re trying to find peace in a busy café or want to stay aware of your surroundings while jogging, these earbuds have you covered.
Conclusion
Overall, the Amped Buds by HMD Global offer an exciting blend of convenience and functionality. With their innovative charging case that doubles as a battery pack for your phone, they help address everyday challenges related to battery life. Supremely comfortable, stylish, and packed with useful features like noise cancellation, the Amped Buds aim to enhance the listening experience for users everywhere. As we eagerly await their launch in April, it’s clear that these earbuds are a promising addition to the world of audio accessories.
