HMD also announced that it's bringing the
Nokia Power Earbuds to the US. These aren’t new, in fact we’ve already reviewed
them, but they are still impressive with the massive 3,000 mAh power cell
inside the charging case. Each bud can last 5 hours of non-stop playback but
the total listening time goes to a whopping 150 hours with the case.
These are also IPX7 water resistant,
meaning not only that they are not afraid of rain they can spend 30 minutes
under a meter (3 ft) of water. Still, these aren’t swimproof. The Power Earbuds
are now available globally for € 80.
In October a Lite version will be
available for € 60 - they keep the IPX7 water resistance, but their charging
case is more compact. As a result, the battery capacity is down to 600 mAh,
which is enough for 35 hours total of listening time.
