  • Human Mobile Devices (HMD) combines sound and power with Amped Buds
  • Amped Buds are the world’s first earbuds with a 1600mAh¹ reverse wireless charging case capable of charging your smartphone
  • Power up your smartphone with magnetic wireless or standard wired charging while enjoying incredible sound quality, hybrid ANC and ENC.
  • Amped Buds’ 1600mAh battery gives you up to 95 hours of music playback² or an extra power boost for your compatible device³, so you’re never caught out.
  • The perfect accessory for your Qi2 HMD device or any device that supports wireless charging like certain Apple® iPhone® models and the HMD Skyline, Amped Buds ensures you always have power and tunes.
  • With sleek styling, thin and light design, and three colour options, Amped Buds looks as good as it sounds.

Being caught out without tunes or power isn’t fun, but HMD’s latest innovation combines magnetic power with quality sound, so you always have both.

Today (2 March 2025), tech innovator Human Mobile Devices (HMD) unveils a breakthrough in convergence, HMD Amped Buds, the first earbuds with a 1600mAh¹ case that can magnetically power up your smartphone as the soundtrack to your day plays on.

HMD Amped Buds combines premium wireless earbuds with superb sound quality, ANC, and ENC to dial out ambient noise, plus an ultra-slim, sleek case compatible with devices that support wireless charging, such as the HMD Skyline and certain Apple® iPhone® model, for a wireless power boost in a snap. A perfect pairing for anyone who loves listening and is over battery anxiety.

Power Up with Amped Buds

Amped Buds’ industrial and elevated design helps its case stand out from other magnetic chargers. Sleek wraparound aluminium alloy combines with a matte finish and a statement flat top and bottom for styling that’s both standout and supremely elegant. The colour options, which range from striking to super-classical, ensure you can pick up a perfect match for your smartphone and personal style, with Black, Cyan and Pink available. Amped Buds’ case colour also extends to the wireless buds within, adding a pop of colour to your listening.

Incredibly lightweight and thin, Amped Buds’ charging case weighs just 80g and measures an ultra-sleek 14mm, significantly less than most wireless buds cases. And with splash resistance, whether you’re powering through a gruelling workout or getting caught out in the rain, Amped Buds IPX4 case and IP54 earbuds are real-life-ready.

With magnetic charging, Amped Buds’ charging case can power up any wireless charging compatible device and support many popular magnetic cases for other wireless charging smartphones. And with a dual USB type-C™ cable in the box, it’s also an excellent wired charging option. When you need to power up your Amped Buds case, of course, you could plug it in. Alternatively, take advantage of its wireless charging by simply placing it on a standard wireless charger or snapping it to a compatible charger for ultra-convenient top-ups.

With a high-capacity 1600mAh¹ battery, roughly 300% larger than most competing wireless buds, Amped Buds’ charging case can boost your iPhone® 16 battery by up to 20% when magnetically attached or 24% when plugged in.³ That’s the difference between wrapping up the evening with or without access to critical apps like maps, taxi services and mobile banking.

Cut Through the Noise with Superior Sound and ENC

Every time you press and pop out the Amped Buds from the side of their charging case, it feels like a flex, and that’s before you even start listening. Each bud is lightweight, comfortable, and features an innovative hinge design so you can finetune the fit perfectly.

Created for quality listening and crystal clear calls, Amped Buds has been engineered with a precision-tuned 10mm driver, while the ear tip shape and integrated vents create the perfect space for sound waves to travel more freely. The result is minimal distortion and world-class clarity. HMD Amped Buds also dynamically amplify low frequencies for responsive bass that creates a true-to-life, balanced soundscape capable of power and depth. And when you want to take the reigns, enjoy a customisable Equalisation (EQ) when using the Amped Buds app, available for AndroidTM and IOS®.

With both hybrid ANC and ENC, whatever you’re listening to pulls focus, and when it’s time to talk, Amped Buds excels. Each stem features a triple microphone array to isolate what you say while also leveraging ENC technology. This uses the information from the three microphones on each bud to focus on your voice, dial out background sounds, and ensure you and the person on the other end of the line enjoy ultimate clarity.

Android users can unlock Google Fast Pair for seamless connection across all their devices, and with multipoint, Amped Buds can be paired with up to two devices at the same time, perfect when going back and forth between your phone and laptop.

Enjoy hours of listening, with each earbud lasting up to 8 hours on a single charge with ANC turned off and 4 hours when enabled.² And when combined with the large, 1600mAh¹ case, that stretches to an incredible 95 hours of music playback², making Amped Buds long-haul-ready multiple times over.

¹ Battery has limited recharge cycles and battery capacity reduces over time.

² Earbuds play time is up to 4.9 hours with ANC on and 8.1 hours with ANC off. Fully-charged case charges earbuds up to 10.9 times which makes the total of up to 95 hours play time with ANC off and 58 hours with ANC on

³ HMD Amped reverse charging has been internally tested with compatible devices, under controlled conditions with the device on LTE/5G connectivity, screen locked, and default settings enabled (except "Ask to Join Networks" and Auto-Brightness off) to give an indicative result of the reverse charging capabilities of the HMD Amped charging case. Each test was conducted 10 times with both wireless and wired charging. The average results for the compatible devices were:

HMD Skyline:13.8% (wireless), 20.7% (wired)

Apple® iPhone® 16 Pro: 20% (wireless), 24% (wired)

Actual results may vary due to device model, battery condition, software, network, and usage.
