Agnieszka Serafinowicz<p><strong>MWC 2025: HMD Amped Buds: słuchawki, które naładują Twój&nbsp;telefon</strong></p><p>Firma Human Mobile Devices (HMD) zaprezentowała na&nbsp;targach Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 w&nbsp;Barcelonie swoje najnowsze dzieło – HMD Amped Buds.<br></p><p>Te&nbsp;bezprzewodowe słuchawki wyróżniają się nie&nbsp;tylko&nbsp;(podobno, nie&nbsp;mieliśmy ich w&nbsp;uszach) świetnym dźwiękiem, ale&nbsp;i&nbsp;unikalnym etui ładującym o&nbsp;pojemności 1600 mAh. Ciekawostką jest właśnie wspomniane etui, które wyposażono w&nbsp;funkcję odwrotnego ładowania, dzięki czemu bateria o&nbsp;pojemności 1600 mAh może wydłużyć czas pracy np.&nbsp;naszego smartfonu, pod&nbsp;warunkiem, że&nbsp;ten jest w&nbsp;stanie ładować się bezprzewodowo.</p><p>Oficjalna premiera nowych słuchawek HMD miała miejsce 2 marca 2025 roku, a&nbsp;produkt trafi do&nbsp;sprzedaży w&nbsp;kwietniu w&nbsp;cenie 199 euro. Nowe słuchawki zobaczyć można na&nbsp;rozpoczętych dziś targach MWC 2025 w&nbsp;Barcelonie.</p><p><a href="https://imagazine.pl/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/HMD-Amped-Buds-02.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a></p><p>Według <a href="https://www.hmd.com/en_int/press/hmd-amped-buds-press-release" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">informacji producenta</a> HMD Amped Buds oferują do&nbsp;95 godzin odtwarzania muzyki (czas mierzony razem z&nbsp;potencjałem energetycznym etui). Gdy&nbsp;nie&nbsp;zamierzamy korzystać z&nbsp;etui, z&nbsp;samych słuchawek bez&nbsp;ich doładowywania możemy podobno korzystać do&nbsp;8 godzin na&nbsp;jednym ładowaniu bez&nbsp;ANC lub 4 godziny z&nbsp;włączoną aktywną redukcją hałasu.</p><p>Nowe słuchawki HMD wyposażono w&nbsp;10-milimetrowe przetworniki, hybrydową aktywną redukcję hałasu (ANC) i&nbsp;technologię ENC dla wyraźnych rozmów. Ciekawostką konstrukcyjną nowych słuchawek jest regulowany zawias, który&nbsp;zdaniem producenta pozwala na&nbsp;idealne dopasowanie do&nbsp;ucha. Smukłe etui z&nbsp;aluminium i&nbsp;matowym wykończeniem waży zaledwie 80 gramów.</p><p><a href="https://imagazine.pl/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/HMD-Amped-Buds-03.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a></p><p>Co&nbsp;ważniejsze, szczególnie dla posiadaczy iPhone’ów, etui słuchawek HMD Amped Buds obsługuje bezprzewodowy standard ładowania Qi2, co&nbsp;oznacza (wynika to&nbsp;z&nbsp;samego standardu) magnetyczne ładowanie. HMD podkreśla, że&nbsp;to&nbsp;rozwiązanie dla tych, którzy&nbsp;cenią wygodę i&nbsp;nie&nbsp;chcą martwić się o&nbsp;rozładowane urządzenia.</p><p>Słuchawki dostępne będą w&nbsp;trzech kolorach: czarnym, cyjan i&nbsp;różowym, a&nbsp;aplikacja na&nbsp;Androida i&nbsp;iOS pozwoli na&nbsp;personalizację ustawień equalizerа. Niewątpliwie połączenie słuchawek z&nbsp;etui, które może pełnić rolę bezprzewodowego powerbanku to&nbsp;ciekawostka, która&nbsp;może zainteresować część nabywców, niemniej ze&nbsp;względu na&nbsp;relatywnie niewielką pojemność energetyczną, etui nowych słuchawek można traktować jako naprawdę awaryjny zapas mocy, a&nbsp;nie&nbsp;regularnego powerbanka.</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://imagazine.pl/tag/bezprzewodowe-ladowanie/" target="_blank">#bezprzewodoweładowanie</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://imagazine.pl/tag/hmd/" target="_blank">#HMD</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://imagazine.pl/tag/hmd-amped-buds/" target="_blank">#HMDAmpedBuds</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://imagazine.pl/tag/mwc-2025/" target="_blank">#MWC2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://imagazine.pl/tag/news/" target="_blank">#news</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://imagazine.pl/tag/sluchawki/" target="_blank">#słuchawki</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://imagazine.pl/tag/sluchawki-bezprzewodowe/" target="_blank">#słuchawkiBezprzewodowe</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://imagazine.pl/tag/sluchawki-douszne/" target="_blank">#słuchawkiDouszne</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://imagazine.pl/tag/sluchawki-tws/" target="_blank">#słuchawkiTWS</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://imagazine.pl/tag/standard-qi2/" target="_blank">#standardQi2</a></p>
