By Abhik Sengupta: HP-owned Poly has launched new true wireless earbuds, dubbed Poly Voyager Free 60, in India. While the earbuds offer high-end functionalities, including ANC, wireless charging, transparency mode, and more — like many other premium wireless earbuds – the dubbed Poly Voyager Free 60 comes with a touchscreen charging case. With added touchscreen capability, users can seamlessly switch between devices and even view call information. The Poly Voyager Free 60 promise 24 hours of listening time and up to 16.5 hours of talk time.
However, the pricing could be a big challenge for the company. The Poly Voyager Free 60 carry a starting price of Rs 41,999. Users can select between carbon black and white sand colour options. The charging case features an oval design with a flat top to house the OLED screen. The display can also be useful for changing tracks with the phone or establishing a connection.
Each earbud has a three-mic, and users can change the ear tips for a more snug fit. The package includes three different-sized pairs of ear tips. Users can connect them with Bluetooth-supporting iPhones, Android phones, and PCs. The package includes a BT700​ Bluetooth adapter to let users connect the earbuds with non-Blueooth devices. The earbuds can be managed via the Poly Lens mobile app.
In terms of features, the Poly Voyager Free 60 include “smart sensors” to automatically answer calls or pause music by inserting/removing the earbuds in your ears. There’s also a “WindSmart technology for protection against wind noise”, which could leverage the power of ANC. The company notes the earbuds can connect to two devices simultaneously and remember up to eight devices.
Supported Bluetooth codecs include AAC, AptX, SBC, and mSBC, while supported profiles include A2DP, AVRCP, HSP, HFP, and SPP.
Apart from the Poly Voyager Free 60 earbuds, HP has launched new computer peripherals, including an HP 925 Ergonomic vertical mouse, HP Thunderbolt G4 Dock, HP 960 4K streaming webcam, and HP E45c 45-inch curved monitor. Their prices are set at Rs 8,999, Rs 19,500, Rs 18,999, and Rs 1,26,631, respectively.
The HP E45c 45 is a large curved monitor that offers dual QHD resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. It also has integrated dual side-firing speakers and can support two different computers simultaneously.
