Nokia and Huawei Unveil Wireless Earbuds Cheaper Than AirPods
The companies have joined the race in the wireless earbuds market.
The company Huawei unveiled new wireless earbuds FreeBuds 3, whose key feature is noise cancelling.
The headset runs on the Kirin A1 processor with Bluetooth 5.1 support. According to its makers, connection latency has dropped by 50%, and energy consumption by 30%. The earbuds deliver high-quality BT-UHD audio at a bitrate of up to 2.3 Mbit/s. Inside the device are 14 mm drivers with active noise cancelling and a microphone with wind noise protection.
The gadget works up to 4 hours without recharging, and the USB Type-C case will recharge the device for another 16 hours of use. The price and release date are not yet known, but Huawei has promised a price lower than the second-generation AirPods, which cost around $200.
In March 2019, Huawei unveiled Freebuds Lite with 7 mm polyurethane speakers with a titanium coating and an IPX4 water- and dust-resistant body. The special Environmental Noise Cancellation technology is responsible for reducing noise levels. The 55 mAh battery lasts for 3 hours of use without recharging, and the 410 mAh battery in the case provides another 10 hours of use.
This gadget has an older Bluetooth 4.2 version and costs $120 (3,000 UAH).
Nokia has also made a splash in the wireless headset market, presenting Power Earbuds. The earbuds have a 50 mAh battery, which is enough for 5 hours of battery life. The case has 3000 mAh, which should be enough for 150 hours of headset use.
The device features 6 mm graphene drivers that are waterproof (IPX7), Bluetooth 5.0, a USB Type-C port and touch sensors.
The gadget will go on sale before the end of 2019 at a price of €80 (2,200 UAH).
A few days ago, Nokia also unveiled a new version of its True Wireless earbuds, which became almost half the price.
The new model offers 4 hours of battery life and up to 14 hours of music playback and 16 hours of talk time when charged from the case. Each earbud weighs just 5 grams, is protected against moisture to IPX4 standard, and features Bluetooth 5.0 and stereo sound.
For now, the device is sold only in China at a price of $70 (1,750 UAH).
Earlier, Xiaomi unveiled a power bank with 10,000 mAh for just $17.
And Razer presented the world's first gaming ultrabook.
