HMD is poised to add another entry to its DUB series of true wireless earbuds, building on the momentum generated by six models introduced just last month. Although the exact name and release date have yet to be confirmed, a recently shared teaser image offers a glimpse into what may become the latest addition—a design that closely mirrors the recently unveiled DUB X50 Pro.
This suggests continuity in HMD’s approach to earbud design, with an emphasis on both functionality and durability. The DUB X50 Pro, for instance, is built to IPX4 standards, ensuring resistance against splashes and light sweat, while also incorporating active noise cancellation (ANC) and Hi-fi digital signal processing (DSP) for a refined listening experience.
The battery life of the DUB X50 Pro is equally impressive. Each earbud houses a 70 mAh battery, paired with a 600 mAh charging case that delivers up to 60 hours of playback at 50% volume—a significant leap from previous iterations in HMD’s lineup.
Key Specifications
- Battery Life: Up to 60 hours at 50% volume (70 mAh per earbud, 600 mAh case)
- Design: In-ear with IPX4 water resistance
- Features: Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), Hi-fi DSP
These specifications position the DUB X50 Pro as a strong contender in the mid-range TWS market, catering to users who prioritize both endurance and audio quality. The combination of ANC and Hi-fi DSP ensures a balanced performance, making it suitable for daily commutes or casual listening sessions where clarity and noise reduction are essential.
HMD’s recent expansion into the TWS space has already included models like the X50, S60, P70, P60, and P50, each tailored to different user needs—from budget-friendly options to more premium offerings. The upcoming addition is expected to follow this trend, reinforcing HMD’s commitment to delivering versatile audio solutions.
While the design language of these earbuds may not deviate drastically from industry norms, the focus on practical features like water resistance and battery efficiency sets them apart in a crowded market. Whether HMD will introduce more innovative aesthetics or stick to proven formulas remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the brand is doubling down on true wireless technology with a clear strategy in mind.
