Ever wondered what it would look like if you put a pair of AirPods in the microwave? Huawei has saved you the trouble. Inside these curvy IPX4-rated buds you get dual-magnet dynamic drivers, adaptive noise-cancelling and support for hi-res audio, while tap-and-slide gesture controls on the outside mean your phone can mostly stay stowed in your pocket. The companion app’s 10-band equaliser lets you tweak the audio performance too. The oval case is equally distinctive, and just 5mins stowed inside will boost the buds’ battery by 2hrs – which is just as well, because with the ANC on they’ll only last 3.5hrs. Still, that’s longer than those poor AirPods you just nuked.
