Honor Magic Earbuds Review - Distinctly Average Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds
The Honor Magic Earbuds have launched, and they're distinctly average. Is that bad at this price point? We investigate to see.
The Honor Magic Earbuds were unveiled by Honor back at (the unofficially dubbed) "not MWC" at the end of February. They're the western version of the Honor FlyPods 3 that the company announced in November alongside the Honor V30 series, though they only went on sale in China in March. A couple of weeks ago, Honor did launch the Honor Magic Earbuds in the West through the company's own HiHonor stores in Europe. The earbuds will also go on sale in the UK on May 21st for £99. We got our hands on a pair of Robin Egg Blue earphones to test out, and I must say, I'm somewhat underwhelmed. They're truly wireless, meaning just like AirPods, they sit inside your ears without even a neckband. AirPods they are not, though.
Honor Magic 2 launches with an almost Bezel-less Display, Slider Camera, and Kirin 980
Honor has announced the nearly bezel-less Honor Magic 2 with a pop-up camera, the Honor Watch Magic smartwatch, and the wireless Honor FlyPods earbuds.
If there's something 2018 has shown us, it's that the future is bezel-less - and it looks beautiful. But as phones get closer to a perfect 100% screen-to-body ratio, device manufacturers are left to wonder what to do with the front-facing camera, the earpiece, and the sensors. A common approach these days has been using a display notch - a screen cutout on the top that makes room for those sensors. But notches usually aren't the most aesthetically pleasing solution. The Vivo Nex brought an alternative, ingenious approach to the table: A pop-up area with a front-facing camera module and other sensors which can be revealed when needed and hidden when not needed.
