Earlier this month, Honor launched the EarBuds 2 SE in China with features like ANC and up to 32 hours of battery life. Initially, the company launched two standard color variants of the earbuds, the Magic Night Black and Iceland White color. Now, Honor has launched a custom model of the Honor EarBuds 2 SE where buyers can get printed their choice of customized sports icon on the bud’s charging case.

Those who are willing to give their Honor EarBuds 2 some sporty feel can head to the Honor Mall app and can choose between 13 types of custom sports icons. These icons include popular sports games such as weightlifting, judo, table tennis, karate, fencing, shooting, beach volleyball, equestrian, and others.

This is quite similar to what Apple is offering with its engraving feature. For those who are unaware, Apple also offers personalization options where buyers can choose between emojis or custom text to get it printed on the bud’s charging case.

Interestingly, both Apple and Honor are offering custom personalization for free of cost. Getting back to Honor, the Honor EarBuds 2 SE is priced at CNY 469(~$73), and even after engraving the custom sports icon, it can be picked up for the same price.

Regarding its specs, the EarBuds 2 SE comes with an Apple AirPods Pro-like design with a slightly elongated stem. Its major highlight is the Active Noise Cancellation which offers an undisturbed music listening experience. It has touch controls and a battery that can last for up to 32 hours. It also supports fast charging where 10 minutes of charging can offer up to 4 hours of music listening.

Alongside the Honor 50 series, the Chinese manufacturer also announced a new pair of TWS earbuds called the Honor Earbuds 2 SE. The in-ear headphones have ANC and a battery life that lasts well more than a day.

The Honor Earbuds 2 SE has a stem design and silicone tips that keep the sounds in. It has a glossy finish and comes in Magic Night Black and Iceland White color variants with a matching rectangular box.

Honor has added Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) so you can enjoy an uninterrupted audio experience. Like a lot of headphones with ANC, the Honor Earbuds 2 SE also has a transparency mode that you can turn on which allows you to hear sounds around you without taking off your earbuds. This is useful when having a conversation. There is also Dual Microphone AI Call Noise Reduction which uses beamforming technology to reduce background noise such as wind noise when making calls.

The Honor Earbuds 2 SE also has a pretty neat trick that allows you to use the earbuds as microphones when recording a vlog with your phone rather than using the phone’s own microphone(s). Honor says you get a better result this way. There is also a low-latency game mode that is only compatible with devices running Magic UI 4.0 and above.

Operating the headphones is via capacitive touch controls built into the stem of each earbud. A double-tap on the left or right earbud will play/pause playback and accept/end a call. A long press on either earbud will turn on or off ANC and transparency mode. Honor says the earbuds also have wear detection and smart scene detection. Users can also configure the earbuds via the Honor Smart Life app.

The battery life of the earbuds is said to provide up to 10 hours of playback time with ANC off, and it goes up to 32 hours with the case. It also supports fast charging via a USB-C port – a 10-minute charge will provide up to 4 hours of listening time.

The Honor Buds 2 SE is available for pre-order on the Honor online shop for ¥469 (~$73). Those who pre-order and pay a deposit will get a free silicone case. The earbuds will begin to ship by the end of June.
