Huawei held a launch event in Shanghai, China yesterday where the company launched a few devices, including MatePad Pro, Sound X smart speaker, and a couple of models of MateBook D laptop.

After the launch event, CEO of Huawei Consumer Business, Yu Chengdong said during an interview that the company is planning to launch an over-the-ear headphones which should go official in 2020.

He also said that the company is currently working hard on the upcoming headphones which will be technologically advanced and will be a unique product. However, he has not revealed what the device packs that will make it “unique”.

The company had recently launched its all-new true wireless earphones — Huawei FreeBuds 3, which are powered by the company’s Kirin A1 chipset, touted as the world’s first chipset to come certified for Bluetooth 5.1.

He says that the company will seize on the goodwill of such good-performing headphones and will continue to offer outstanding products to the users, such as the upcoming Huawei over-the-ear headphones.

While he has confirmed that the Huawei headphones are coming in the year 2020, no specific launch date or the timeline has been revealed. However, since the company is already working on it, the launch should be just weeks or couple of months away.

A new headphones product was spotted a couple of weeks back the weekend on the APK code of the latest Google app version 7.10. The code re-ignites the name Bisto which had earlier appeared in April in the strings of the beta version of  Google app 7.0. A new headphones product was spotted over the weekend on Google’s main support website and the listed name may have revealed the consumer name for Bisto. 

The Google Assistant app was noticed to have a drawn graphical image of a headphone which is named Baywolf with the graphic titled as baywolf-oobe-image.png. The image is said to be different from what has been seen in previously leaked images. A previously leaked GIF had suggested an over-the-ear design. But the graphic for “baywolf” features precise detail which is different from the GIF and the Bisto logo spotted on Google app. Apart from “baywolf”, Bisto was also spotted at first in the Apk teardown of Google app version 7.10 with names like apollo and scout.

Taking a look at the latest design, it is an over-the-ear design with three buttons grouped together on the right cup as well as a solitary button on the left. Given other strings found in the Google app, the solitary button on the left is likely for Assistant, while the three others are top, middle, and bottom. According to the code strings, a single tap of the Google Assistant button can playback your notifications, while a long press is used for issuing a command:

<string>Just so you know, you can listen to your notifications for up to an hour. To hear them, press the Google Assistant button.</string>

There is also a second graphic which is named “Bisto-logo” and features several icons which suggest the various features of the headphones. They include access to Google Assistant, music, messages, weather, and possibly fitness tracking. The latest leaked image looks very much like the leaked upgrade to the Bose QC35 and this has led to some suggestions that baywolf could be the QC35.  Just like the baywolf image, the leaked QC35 has a button on the left cup which could be for Google assistant. The buttons on existing Bose over-the-ear headphones match the three buttons on baywolf. We just might be seeing a launch very soon considering the rate at which we are seeing leaked details of the Google headphones.
