With that said, we are glad to bring to India the world’s only open fit active noise cancellation earbuds. The idea is to make noise cancellation devices more portable. According to a report by Counterpoint Research, the Indian TWS market has posted a massive 700% growth in 2019, becoming the fastest growing market in wearables. Huawei brings a unique offering in this segment with the launch of HUAWEI FreeBuds 3, which is the first Open-fit TWS earbuds to support call noise reduction and accurate real-time active noise cancellation. We have ensured that users get an enriched and enhanced listening experience with the TWS technology.  We are certain that this device will be a game-changer in the audio device industry in India.” said Spokesperson, Huawei Consumer Business Group, Huawei India.

The audio device boasts of a plethora of class leading features including simple and stable connectivity, ultra-low latency, and an impressive approach to noise control. The chip provides superior sonics to the device, with outstanding digital sound processing techniques, and a fine-tuned high sensitivity driver to deliver spectacular music and voice reproduction. Huawei Freebuds 3 will offer users smooth and seamless listening experience, ushering in Huawei’s new intelligent sound. With a complex bass tube cleverly tucked in each earpiece powers, users can have a studio-level music experience on the go. 

Backed by a 20-hour battery life/4.5-hour ANC usage with one charge, and packed with a powerful bass having a balanced sound (⌀14.2 mm dynamic),  Huawei Freebuds 3 has the world’s first dedicated wearable chipset with up to 150 meter connectivity & BT/BLE 5.1 which will deliver a robust sound quality experience.

Huawei Freebuds 3 possess one of the world’s lowest audio delays (5ms processing latency), with 94% Wind Noise Elimination (Aerodynamic duct design). The earbuds comprise of easy-to -use and intelligent tap based controls. The left earbud can be used to turn on / off ANC; and the right earbud to play next song. Either of the earbuds can be used to answer / end phone calls. The offering will be infusing much excitement in the audio accessory segment, which has grown at robust double digit growth rate until recently, especially in the consumer audio accessories segment.

 

Engineering a new intelligent sound: the HUAWEI Kirin A1 chip

The Kirin A1 chip is the first chip we developed that has been specifically engineered for the hearable and wearable market. Kirin A1 can process complex tasks efficiently and powerfully, all from its diminutive footprint of 4.3 mm x 4.4 mm.

As the world’s first BT 5.1 & BLE 5.1 wearable chip, Kirin A1 ensures that FreeBuds 3 is unmatched for stability and ease of connectivity. Coupled with our new generation of Bluetooth signal selection algorithm brought about by intelligent adaptive frequency-hopping technology in the communication field, the chip can dynamically identify frequency bands affected by 2.4 GHz signal such as Wi-Fi and hop to a free channel. This allows it to quickly adapt to environmental changes and achieve higher anti-interference capabilities.

Huawei’s own isochronous dual channel Bluetooth1, allows us to bring true stereo sound to wireless earbuds, connecting to both buds simultaneously, yet independently. Huawei’s self-developed dual channel synchronized technology allows two headsets to receive the left and right audio channels directly from a smart device, while facilitating direct communication between the device and the two headsets without interference. The self-developed dual-channel synchronous transmission mode uses leads to latency remains ultra-low down to 190 ms², making FreeBuds 3 the perfect wireless earbud for gamers who want instant acoustic feedback for an immersive gaming experience.

 

All new aesthetic design, inspired by nature

The HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 are housed in a rounded charging case, which is designed to comfortably fit in your pocket and rest easily in the palm of your hand.

With their ergonomic rounded curve and natural open-fit design, HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 earpieces guarantee comfortable and stable wearing, allowing listeners to keep them in the ear for hours at a time. Sleekly styled and beautifully finished, the HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 benefit from a minimal yet modern design, complemented by gloss black and gloss white finishes.

The exploration of new form factors that have aesthetic, ergonomic and acoustic benefit has delivered Dolphin Bionic Design for HUAWEI FreeBuds 3. Inspired by the natural curvature of a dolphin’s vocal cavity, the design focuses and modulates the sound. This, combined with its ability to sit slightly deeper in the ear, provides a discernible improvement in sound quality for the listener.

An intelligent approach to noise cancellation

With the power of the HUAWEI Kirin A1 chip, Huawei is bridging the gap between expert chip engineering and the art of developing a high-quality, signature sound. To balance these two propositions, Huawei developed an advanced Audio Digital Signal Processor for Kirin A1 chip. The chip leads the industry in audio processing frequency at rates of up to 356 MHZ. Its precise and real-time call noise reduction algorithm allows HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 to effectively reduce environmental noise in order allow the other party to hear more clearly and create a high-quality call experience.

HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 are the first Open-fit TWS earbuds that both support call noise reduction and accurate real-time active noise cancellation. Based on the simulation of ear canal, the output frequency and intensity of the noise reduction signal are adjusted for different ear canal shapes, thus achieving excellent active noise reduction effect, with open-fit wearing. By double-tapping the left earbud to turn on / off ANC function, you can still enjoy crystal clear music even in the crowded metro or a noisy restaurant.

Studio-Quality Sound，Booming Bass

The high-precision, high-sensitivity 14 mm dynamic driver in HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 has been carefully tuned to allow every note to be restored to its original brilliance.

A battery built to last all day

The FreeBuds 3 case is equipped with wireless charging capabilities and can be charged by both wireless chargers and reverse wireless charged by smartphones that support reverse wireless charging. Utilizing the highly efficient power consumption of the Kirin A1 chip, HUAWEI FreeBuds 3 are able to provide four hours of playback from a single charge, and a total of 20 hours when used alongside the charging case.

Best Headphones in the world from Sennheiser will cost more than 35 Lacs

Sennheiser is well known for its high quality headphones, but this time it has claimed to present world's best headphone, and when Sennheiser says that, one just can't take it as marketing hyperbole. Company has revived one of its best headphone the Orpheus which was launched in 1990/1991. The headset costed around $1600 that time, no wonder the new Orpheus will be priced around € 50,000 (around 35.7 lakhs in INR).

Sennheiser Orpheus

The electrostatic headphone system combines to perfection the most innovative technology with carefully selected, luxurious materials and highest quality craftsmanship. The headphones will be handcrafted in Germany from next year onwards.

Building high-end headphones which sound so brilliant that you feel that you are in a concert hall; creating acoustics that surpass anything that has been heard before: this has always been Sennheiser’s vision. And in 1990/1991, the audio specialist achieved precisely that: Sennheiser took the audio world by storm with an engineering masterpiece that exceeded all previous ideas about the performance limitations of headphones. The product became an icon of the audio industry and was recognized as the best headphones in the world – until now. Almost 25 years later, Sennheiser is now opening up a new chapter in audio history with the successor, one that shares its famous name: “With the new Orpheus, we once again push the boundaries and show that we can repeatedly set new benchmarks in excellence and with that shape the future of the audio world,” said Sennheiser CEO Daniel Sennheiser.

The new Orpheus surpasses every other headphone system in the world by offering the ultimate in reproduction precision, exceptional spatiality and a frequency response that extends far beyond the range of human hearing ability. “It is able to deceive our senses in a completely unique way, creating the perfect illusion of being directly immersed in the sound,” explained Daniel Sennheiser. Even the slightest nuances of the music become audible. Alongside star producer Steve Levine, Grammy award-winner Gregory Porter was one of the first to be invited to an exclusive listening trial. “When I record my own music, I always try to convey my emotions. I don’t know how exactly, but these headphones really do succeed in getting those emotions across,” said the jazz musician, describing his listening experience with the Orpheus.

To make this possible, a team of Sennheiser experts spent almost a decade continuously working against the limits of what is technically possible – and once again created the best headphones in the world. The Orpheus uses an innovative amplifier concept that combines to perfection the advantages of a tube amplifier with those of a transistor amplifier. “I am very proud of this absolutely exceptional product,” said Sennheiser CEO Dr. Andreas Sennheiser. “The Orpheus stands for the innovative power of our company and our joint commitment to the pursuit of perfect sound.

The selection of all materials consequently supports the acoustic excellence of this milestone product.  Each of the more than 6,000 components was meticulously chosen. To ensure an outstanding acoustic performance, the audio specialist used exclusive components such as gold-vaporized ceramic electrodes and platinum-vaporized diaphragms. The marble that Sennheiser chose for the amplifier housing comes from Carrara in Italy and is the same type of marble that Michelangelo used to create his sculptures. “The properties of the marble optimally protect the amplifier’s core and its unique optics and structure turns each Orpheus into an individual work of art,” said Maurice Quarré, Director of Select & Audiophile at Sennheiser.
