HMD began launching phones under its own brand with the HMD Pulse back in April 2024. Now, nearly a year and nine phones later, the company appears ready to expand its brand into audio accessories as well.
Evidence of this comes from an FCC filing, which reveals a TWS earbud called ‘Ampd Buds’ under the HMD brand. The regulatory listing showcases the buds and case design, along with color options and battery specifications. Let’s take a closer look.
HMD Ampd Buds Details
The buds themselves seem fairly standard in terms of look. It has a flat stem-style design with a connecting module that houses the driver. But the charging case is where things get interesting.
It draws clear inspiration from the design of the HMD Skyline smartphone, which, in turn, echoes the classic Nokia Lumia phones. Even the color options of the buds—Black, Blue, and Pink—are similar to those of the HMD Skyline series.
The most intriguing feature, however, seems to be the inclusion of built-in magnets in the charging case. These magnets should allow the case to attach to the HMD Skyline phone (or any other wireless charging phone, for that matter) to enable reverse wireless charging from the phone to the earbuds.
This can be a handy feature for topping up the earbuds on the go, especially if you’re someone who forgets to keep their charging cables handy.
Unfortunately, the FCC filing doesn’t reveal the exact battery capacity of the charging case. The earbuds themselves are reported to have 35mAh batteries, which are claimed to provide up to 5 hours of music playback time on a single charge.
It’s unclear when HMD will launch these earbuds in the market. However, it could happen at the 19th Mobile World Congress (MWC 2025), where HMD is expected to unveil other gadgets and accessories as well.
