Human Mobile Devices (HMD) is redefining what an audio accessory can do, introducing the Amped Buds — the first-ever earbuds globally with a magnetic 1600mAh reverse wireless charging case, delivering a smartphone power boost while offering high-fidelity sound.
Whether you’re powering through a workday in Riyadh, commuting across Dubai’s fast-paced cityscape, or staying connected on the move in Doha, HMD Amped Buds are built for the rhythm of everyday life in the region.
“At HMD, our focus is building technology that solves real-life problems. In the Middle East, where people are always on the move, battery anxiety is real — and sound quality matters just as much. The HMD Amped Buds combine both beautifully,” said Sanmeet Singh Kochhar, SVP of HMD Global – Europe, Asia, Middle East and Africa.
20 percent more battery life on the go
The HMD Amped Buds’ ultra-slim case boasts a high-capacity 1600mAh battery, roughly 300 percent larger than most competing wireless buds. The case is able to give an iPhone 16 Pro up to 20 percent more battery life wirelessly. Plug it in, and it jumps to 24 percent. It also works seamlessly with the HMD Skyline, HMD’s flagship phone built with sustainability and design in mind.
Available in Black, Cyan and Pink, the buds are styled to match every user’s personality, and with splash resistance, the IPX4-rated case and IP54 earbuds ensure they’re ready for your workouts, desert treks, or surprise sandstorms.
“We’re excited to introduce a solution that meets the needs of today’s users — combining practical innovation with everyday usability,” added Kochhar.

Immersive audio and seamless connectivity
With precision-tuned 10mm drivers, hybrid ANC + ENC, and a triple-microphone array, the HMD Amped Buds deliver immersive, crystal-clear audio — whether you’re in a meeting or deep into your playlist.
The HMD Amped Buds have a play time of up to 4.9 hours with ANC on and 8.1 hours with ANC off. A fully-charged case charges the earbuds up to 10.9 times, which makes the total play time up to 95 hours with ANC off and 58 hours with ANC on. The dynamic bass enhancement amplifies low frequencies for a full, balanced soundscape, while the Customisable Equaliser (EQ) via the Amped Buds app on Android and iOS offers users more flexibility.
Android users also benefit from Google Fast Pair for seamless connectivity. With multipoint pairing, the Amped Buds can connect to two devices simultaneously — perfect for switching between your phone and laptop.
The HMD Amped Buds will be available in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other GCC markets starting July 2025, priced at AED/SAR/QAR 599. Local retailers and online platforms will carry the buds in all three colour options.
