Meizu had teased the arrival of its next-generation true wireless earbuds and today, the Chinese company has officially launched the Meizu POP3 TWS earphones. The earbuds are priced at 229 yuan in China, which roughly converts to $35.

However, during the Double 11 sale in the Chinese market, the Meizu POP3 will be available for purchase at a discounted price of 199 yuan, which is about $31.

The Meizu POP3 TWS earbuds adopt a semi-in-ear design and come with Meizu acoustic heritage. Each earbud weighs just 4.5 grams, making it lightweight and shouldn’t be an issue when worn for a longer duration.

It comes with 13mm dynamic unit drivers and supports Bluetooth 5.2 for connecting the earphones to other devices. The product comes with support for Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) for noise reduction and is also IPX5 rated, making it waterproof.

Further, the earphones support touch controls, allowing users to control music playback as well as accept or reject a phone call. It also comes with support for pop-up quick pairing but is limited to devices running the company’s own Flyme OS.

As for the battery life, the Meizu POP3 TWS earphones have a 40mAh battery, allowing users to listen to songs for up to six hours. With the 400mAh battery of the charging case, the music playback time can be increased up to 24 hours.

Meizu’s official Weibo account on Monday announced that the Meizu POP3 TWS will be released tomorrow. The announcement post said that the earpods will be paying a tribute to the “national quintessence.”

The post further contains an image of two oval pieces. These are said to be the inspiration behind the design of the earbuds themselves, which will likely be thin and round. If that’s untrue, then it’s likely that the oval pieces are actually meant to depict the ‘stem’ of the earbuds alone that will house the batteries.

The Meizu POP3 TWS earbuds will also likely be lighter than their predecessors if past release patterns are to go by. The first generation of Meizu POP true wireless earphones was born in April 2018 and weighed 5.8g. Subsequent releases have seen a reduction in weight with the Meizu POP2 weighing 5.4g followed by the Meizu POP2s at just 5.1g.

The Meizu POP3 earbuds will also come with a “no tail” design like its past iterations and will hence favor a rounded design over a cylindrical stem.

Meizu had earlier launched the Meizu POP Pro TWS earbuds at the beginning of the year with the ANC (active noise cancellation) feature. These had 10mm drivers, Bluetooth 5.0, IPX5 rating, three-microphone intelligent call noise reduction algorithm, and were claimed to provide 20 hours of music playback.

And as for a global launch of the Meizu POP3 earbuds, there isn’t any news as of yet but there could be an announcement soon. The POP2 had cost 299 yuan (~$45) and similar pricing can be expected from the POP3 as well.
