At MWC 2025, Finnish company HMD Global introduced a new pair of wireless headphones called HMD Amped Buds.
This product stands out with its unique design that promises to deliver a
premium audio experience along with a notable utility feature that other manufacturers should take note of.
The charging case has the ability to wirelessly charge your phone when needed.

Unlike most wireless headphones currently on the market, the HMD Amped Buds come with a large rectangular charging
case, similar to a wireless power bank. This charging case not only contains the in-e
ar headphones but also has a USB-C port for charging. Notably, the charging case has a battery capacity of up to 1,600 mAh and supports r
everse wireless charging to help users charge their phones in an emergency.
The HMD Amped Buds also come with premium features like Active N
oise Cancellation (ANC), an audio equalizer in the Android and iOS apps, along with ambient noise cancellation for improved call quality.

However, in testing at MWC 2025, the headphones did not feel comfortable to wear, with a design that could cause them to fall out o
f the ears easily when the head moved. Connecting the headphones to the device was also difficult, so it was not possible to evaluate the sound quality.
Alongside the new headphones, HMD also launched the Fusion X1 smartphone aimed at teens through a partnership with Xplora. It comes with a €4.99/month Xplora subscription th
at allows parents to control their c
hildren's internet and app access. The Fusion X1 features a 108MP main camera, a 5,000mAh battery, IP54 water resistance, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Currently, HMD has not announced the price and launch date for the new products. This information will be revealed soon by the company.
