ZTE launches two new budget wireless earbuds in China

Nothing Ear 1 may have made all the headlines, but it was not the only wireless earbuds to have launched yesterday. ZTE Buds and LiveBuds Pro were unveiled alongside the company's Axon 30 5G. Here, we will be looking at the specs, features, and expected price of ZTE Buds and LiveBuds Pro in Nepal.

ZTE LiveBuds Pro Overview

Let's start with the premium one. As the name suggests, it is the Pro version of ZTE LiveBuds that was launched towards the end of last year. It gives continuity to the in-ear design. The earbuds are sweat-resistant. The Pro feature here is the Active Noise Cancellation (up to 35dB). For it to work, ZTE has included three microphones on each earbud. There is also a transparent mode when you need to be aware of the surrounding. There is also a game mode that reduces transmission latency to just 70ms. ZTE LiveBuds Pro boasts a combined battery life (case + earbuds) of up to 24 hours.

Moving on, ZTE Buds is the more modest of the two. It has an open-fit design, which means you don't get silicone ear tips for a customized fit. The earbuds are lightweight at just 3.4 grams and are sweat-proof. They have noise reduction technology for better call quality. Another highlight of the ZTE Buds is the 500mAh battery in the case.
