True wireless earbuds come in all shapes and sizes. There are even some that hide in the phone, some snap onto MagSafe, and some live inside a phone case alongside a power bank. Now, thanks to HMD, there is one that doubles as a wireless charger. Enter the HMD Amped Buds, the world’s first earbuds with a 1,600 mAh reverse wireless charging case—because having a case that just holds and charges your earbuds is too basic.
This sleek little case doesn’t just keep your buds safe; it also wirelessly charges your phone. Stick it onto a MagSafe-compatible device or plug it in via USB-C, and voilà—emergency power boost. No, it won’t resurrect a dead phone, but it’ll keep you texting, calling, or doom-scrolling for a while longer. If you waste it all on cat videos, well, that’s on you.
But don’t let the charging gimmick distract you—these are serious earbuds. Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) ensure clear calls and immersive sound, while the 10 mm drivers deliver punchy bass and crisp highs. As far as battery life goes, it provides up to 8 hours per charge (4 with ANC on) or a jaw-dropping 95 hours when you count the case. That’s more than enough to soundtrack your week—or drown out your responsibilities.
The case itself is shockingly thin (14 mm) and light (80g), making it easier to carry than most power banks. It’s also splash-resistant (IPX4 for the case, IP54 for the buds) and comes in Black, Cyan, and Pink. So whether you need tunes, power, or just a conversation starter, the HMD Amped Buds have you covered. Pricing has not been announced.
