Honor FlyPods and FlyPods Pro are AirPods that come in better colors

There’s Robin Blue and Charm Red

Honor’s slew of releases included another device that will bring color and great music to your life, quite literally.

This is Honor’s recently unveiled FlyPods and I’m going to say it: They look just like Apple’s AirPods but in a ~~nice~~ better shade called Robin Blue.

Just look at how pretty that looks when worn! I mean, white is fine but this shade is just giving me life.

These wireless earbuds aren’t just lookers, though. These cute things connect to your phone via Bluetook 5.0 and, on top of music-listening capabilities, can answer calls and respond to touch control.

The left bud activates Honor’s YoYo voice assistant while the right one controls music playback. The best part? If you lose one bud, you can just use another bud from a different pair, place it in the case, and it will work as good as new.

If you don’t like this blue-green hue, Honor also announced the FlyPods Pro which come in Charm Red.

The red FlyPods Pro boasts of BoneID technology which uses both voice recognition and bone sound pattern recognition (apparently bone sound is something that’s unique to each person) as biometrics. This means that you can give secure voice commands to the buds.

For example, making payments via WeChat or AliPay with voice command is a feature these earphones support. It also has the YoYo smart assistant built in so you don’t even need gestures (a feature this pair doesn’t support) to give it instructions.

Both FlyPods have an IP54 rating and 420mAh battery capacity which lasts for three hours on a single charge while the carry case has 20 hours more worth of battery power. They charge wirelessly and via a USB-C port.

Funny enough, both the FlyPods and the FlyPods Pro also come in white which Honor has dubbed “Lily of the Valley White.”

The FlyPods will be available online starting November 6 for CNY 799. The FlyPods Pro, however, has no release date as of writing, but they are priced at CNY 999.

Paddock Yoyo + Grand Paddock case

How extra are you as an Apple fan? No matter what you say, you’ll probably never be as extra as someone who buys a US$ 5,000 MagSafe charging case for their iPhone and Apple Watch. Hermès has just launched a series of leather chargers and cases specifically made for Apple fans.

Available now, Hermès has three types of MagSafe chargers for iPhone users. The cheapest one, the Paddock Solo, is a simple leather-bound puck that can charge a single device. The charger also has a braided 3.3ft USB cable. It costs an eye-watering US$ 1,250.

On the other hand, the Paddock Yoyo charger offers two charging zones for two devices simultaneously. Shaped like a yoyo (hence, the name), it allows users to roll the cable into a convenient stack. It costs US$ 1,750.

Finally, the Paddock Duo is a charging pad that allows for two devices simultaneously. It just doesn’t have a pocket for the cable. It likewise costs US$ 1,750.

Now, if you want to upgrade your pricey charging kit even further, Hermès has two cases for them: the Petit Paddock case and the Grand Paddock case.

The Petit Paddock case, as the name suggest, is a snug leather case that fits only the charger (and a brick, if bundled with the Yoyo). The charger and case combo will set you back by US$ 3,725 for the Solo, and US$ 4,225 for either the Duo or the Yoyo.
