Honor launches new true wireless headphones with 'hybrid' active noise cancellation

As we have reported, Mobile World Congress 2020 (MWC 2020) - The global mobile exhibition, the largest event in the mobile world, was officially canceled due to concerns from the Covid-19 epidemic. The MWC 2020 "suspend" indefinitely, so that the plan to launch new products of technology firms cannot happen as expected.

Given the above situation, many major technology manufacturers have decided to organize their own product launch events, Honor is an example. Huawei's sub-brand today introduced a series of remarkable new products that it will launch in the near future, accompanied by many outstanding technologies. In addition to the flagship products such as the two high-end smartphones Honor View 30 Pro and 9X Pro, or the ultra-light office laptop Honor MagicBook - Honor Magic Earbuds, the first true wireless headset to be equipped. Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation technology, is also the product that receives a lot of attention. So, what's so special about this model?

Obviously the most noticeable element on the Honor Magic Earbuds is its active noise resistance. This is a feature usually found only on large-size 'full-size' headphones, but has been increasingly popular on compact earbuds. On Huawei's earphone model, this feature is a little different, will be the 'active hybrid noise reduction' - Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation - advertised that can reduce noise and minimize noise when making calls, but Does not support active noise cancellation when listening to music, quite a pity.

The noise canceling feature of the headset, which is provided by the Feedforward and Feedback microphones, can detect unwanted background noise and eliminate them. The average noise cancellation effect introduced by Huawei is above 24dB.

In terms of connectivity, Honor Magic Earbuds support advanced Bluetooth 5.0 technology, with A2DP 1.3 configuration, HFP 1.6, AVRCP 1.5. Each side has a 37 mAh battery and weighs only 5.4 grams, the charger comes with 51 grams and 410 mAh battery to charge the headset in standby mode. According to a statement from the manufacturer, this headset can play music continuously for 3.5 hours, and up to 13 hours if including the charger. The device can be fully charged in about 1.5 hours via USB-C port.

In terms of ability to play music, Honor Magic Earbuds owns a single 10mm dynamic driver configuration for each earpiece, promising warm, rich sound with bass (bass) playing a leading role, but the middle bands (mid) and high (treb) probably won't be as good as the multi-driver headphones. Users can play, pause, move through the touch surface on the tub at quite convenient.

Honor Magic Earbuds will be available in two colors: Pearl White and Robin Egg Blue, expected to hit shelves in April this year with prices starting at 129 Euro
