Nokia unveiled a slew of products yesterday including the Nokia X30 5G, G60 5G, C31 smartphones, and T21 tablet. Both the Nokia C31 and T21 slate come with 3.5mm audio jacks but the good old audio jack was missing on the Nokia X30 and C60. To make up for that, the company equally announced two new wireless audio devices.
The Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro is a TWS headset featuring hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, and Fast Pair. The buds are equipped with 13mm neodymium drivers. The case is made of 100% post-consumer recycled materials, and the packaging is made of recycled materials as well.
The pair can each last up to 7 hours of playtime while ANC is turned on. The playtime can be extended to 9 hours when ANC is turned off. But with the charging case, the overall playback time is 28 hours with ANC turned on and 36 hours when ANC is turned off. The charging case crams a 500mAh battery that takes about 2 hours to fully recharge the buds’ 60mAh battery via a USB-C port.
On its part, the Nokia Portable Wireless Speaker 2 supports Bluetooth 5.1 and may be connected to two devices at once for stereo playback. It’s a tough little speaker with an IPX7 rating, and it’s also eco-friendly: the enclosure is made entirely of post-consumer waste, and the mesh is made entirely of recycled aluminum.
The speaker contains a single 5W (45mm) driver and a 1,200mAh battery, which allows for 22 hours of continuous listening. USB-C is used for charging. The speaker is 90 x 90 x 74mm in size and weighs 225g.
Later this month, Nokia Clarity Earbuds 2 Pro and Portable Wireless Speaker 2 will be available in select markets. The buds will cost €100 ($100/8,000), while the speaker will cost €55 ($55/4,400).
