Honor Brings Four Earphones to the Global Market — Including One That Lives Inside a Mouse

Friday, 24 April 2026 at 01:06

Honor used a Malaysia launch event to formally introduce four audio products to the global market. Most aren't brand new — several debuted in late 2025 in China — but this marks their first wide international availability, complete with local pricing. The lineup covers a lot of ground: a proper flagship all-rounder, an open-ear clip alternative, a budget pick that punches above its price, and frankly, one of the more creative product concepts to hit the wearables space in a while.

Summary

Honor Earbuds 4: Flagship all-rounder with 50dB ANC, dual titanium-coated drivers, and 46 hours of battery life — priced at MYR 399 (~$100).
Honor Choice Earbuds Clip 2 Pro: Open-ear design with 44-hour battery, AI real-time translation, and auto wear detection — priced at MYR 499 (~$125).
Honor Earbuds A Pro: Budget-friendly option with 49dB ANC, 12.4mm drivers, and 42-hour battery — priced at MYR 199 (~$50).
Honor Choice YHEMI MouseBuds Pro: Semi-open earbuds stored inside a wireless mouse with a 1,000mAh battery, good for 30 days of mouse use.
Global availability begins now, with products rolling out internationally following the Malaysia event.

Honor Earbuds 4: The Safe, Sensible Pick

The Earbuds 4 is clearly the anchor of the lineup. At MYR 399 — around $100 — it targets the segment where most buyers actually live: good ANC, good battery, no obvious compromises. The 50dB active noise cancellation rating is competitive at this price point, and the dual titanium-coated drivers are a hardware detail that usually lives in more expensive earphones. Battery life stands at 46 hours combined with the case, which covers most users for the better part of a week. It's not trying to be the most interesting product at this event — that title goes elsewhere — but it doesn't need to be.

Honor Choice Earbuds Clip 2 Pro: Open-Ear Done Thoughtfully

The Clip 2 Pro is the one that was announced roughly six months ago and is only now reaching global markets. The open-ear design with a flexible arch is the right call for users who want ambient sound awareness — commuters, runners, people in offices where being fully isolated is a social problem. With an open design, ANC is off the table entirely, which is the honest trade-off. What you get instead is 44 hours of battery life, 12mm dual magnetic drivers, auto wear detection, drop detection and alert, and AI real-time translation. That last feature is genuinely useful for multilingual environments. At MYR 499 (~$125), it's the most expensive of the four — arguably justified if the smart features land well in real use.

Honor Earbuds A Pro: The Macaron That Bites

Don't let the playful design fool you. The Earbuds A Pro offers 49dB ANC and a 12.4mm driver in a package that costs MYR 199 — about $50. The 42-hour battery life is only slightly behind the flagship Earbuds 4. I suppose the colorway will either win you over immediately or leave you cold, but the specs underneath are hard to argue with at this price.

Honor Choice YHEMI MouseBuds Pro: Yes, It's a Mouse. Yes, It Works.

Here's the one worth talking about. The MouseBuds Pro doesn't use a conventional charging case — the earbuds are stored inside a wireless mouse. That sounds like a gimmick until you actually think about the use case: someone working from a laptop across multiple locations, carrying a mouse anyway, and now carrying one less thing. The mouse houses a 1,000mAh battery claimed to support 30 days of use between charges. Silent buttons and an excimer skin-like coating round out the hardware.

The earbuds themselves have a semi-open design with ANC — an unusual combination — and dual magnetic dynamic drivers. Connectivity works two ways: a proprietary USB receiver for a seamless laptop connection that pairs both the mouse and buds simultaneously, or standard Bluetooth for smartphones and tablets. It's a genuinely practical concept for the remote-work crowd, and one that no major competitor has attempted at scale.
