HMD Launches DUB X50 Pro Earbuds: 60-Hour Battery Life and Active Noise Cancelling

HMD has just shown off its latest wireless earbuds, the DUB X50 Pro, and they’re clearly made for people who don’t want to be charging their earbuds all the time. The standout feature here is the battery life, which lasts way longer than what most earbuds offer. HMD is trying to mix solid sound quality with long-lasting power to make these worth your attention in a very crowded market.

The DUB X50 Pro features active noise cancellation, which is perfect for blocking out the drone of a bus or a loud office. It cuts through the background hum so you can actually hear your music or podcasts clearly. HMD also added what they call “DUB Platinum” technology, which basically means there’s a good processor inside keeping the sound clear and detailed instead of flat or muddy.

They come in blue and grey and are made to sit comfortably in your ears. These buds are built to block out external noise without even being turned on. You can afford to wear in to the gym, in the rain or even take a quick shower with them on. This is because the buds are splash-proof.

This is where the DUB X50 Pro really shines. The case is the real hero here, letting you go for about 60 hours before you need to hunt for a wall plug. Each bud has its own power source, and the carrying case holds a massive backup charge to keep them going all week. If you ever find them dead right before you head out, just 10 minutes in the case gives you three hours of music. They also work great for phone calls because they use four mics and some smart software to drown out wind and street noise, so the person on the other end can actually hear you.

These buds use the latest Bluetooth tech to keep your music from cutting out. They also charge with a USB-C port, the same kind most new phones use, so you likely already have a cable that works. Now that all the details are up on HMD’s website, you should start seeing these earbuds hit stores soon. It’s another step for HMD as it shows it can do more than just make dependable phones.
