Huawei unveils Freebuds Studio headphones, Porsche Design Watch GT 2 smartwatch and Sound smart speaker

In addition to the P40 series smartphones, several new products were shown at the Huawei presentation, including on-ear wireless headphones and a premium smartwatch with a built-in pulse oximeter for measuring blood oxygen levels.

Freebuds Studio

Freebuds Studio headphones use 40mm drivers, and sound processing is handled by the Kirin A1 processor and Intelligent Dynamic ANC, which uses 8 microphones and reduces ambient noise by 40 decibels. There are three modes of noise reduction: full (for travel and flights), general and cozy (removes noises like the sound of a computer and air conditioning).

Sound is transmitted using the L2HC codec at a speed of up to 960 kilobits per second, that is, even formats without quality loss are supported. Playback control is carried out using the touch edge on the earcup. Supports instant, simplified device connection, simultaneous connection to two gadgets.

10 minutes of charging is enough for the headphones for 8 hours of operation, a full charge for an hour will provide 24 hours of playback without noise reduction.

Freebuds Studio headphones will be on sale in Europe for 299 euros.

Watch GT 2 Porsche Design

This is a limited edition Watch GT 2, featuring the Porsche Design Team. They have a round sapphire dial and a titanium case with a ceramic case back. The bracelet is made of steel, its dimensions can be adjusted by removing or adding links.
