This year's Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 is underway, with new smartphones and related technology accessories being launched at the tech expo. One new product to catch our eye is a pair of wireless earbuds from Finnish brand HMD Global, which have a novel – and useful – twist. To look at, these HMD Amped Buds are pretty standard, the package comprising the earbuds themselves alongside an accompanying charging case. So far, so normal.
The twist here, however, is that their charging case goes far beyond the capacities of most of its conventional rivals. It doubles as a 1600mAh battery pack which can juice up your smartphone on the go via wireless or standard USB-C charging. It also means that the earbuds themselves are rarely going to run dry, with the Amped Buds battery pack-cum-charging case offering a whopping 95 hours of playback on the move for the earbuds. The buds themselves grant a respectable eight hours with ANC switched off.
