MagSafe Earbuds: Snap-On iPhone Headphones

Innovative AirPods Charging Solution: The Komutr Buds

Several iPhone battery cases offering AirPod charging have appeared in the market previously. However, Artronic’s latest offering, the Komutr earbuds, presents a novel solution. It features a streamlined charging case designed to magnetically attach directly to the rear of phones supporting MagSafe technology.

Introducing the Komutr Earbuds

The announcement of the Komutr buds occurred on Friday, preceding their official unveiling at CES 2025. Within the competitive landscape of fully wireless earbuds, the 0.47-inch charging case distinguishes itself as the primary innovative element.

It’s important to note that these earbuds are not intended to recharge the phone itself. Instead, the design prioritizes the convenience of consistently having the earbuds readily available alongside the user’s mobile device.

Design and Functionality

The case incorporates a hinged lid, facilitating easy removal of the earbuds even while the case remains attached to the phone. This lid also serves a dual purpose, functioning as a kickstand for hands-free video viewing.

The earbuds themselves provide up to 10 hours of playtime on a single charge. When combined with the charging case, the total battery life extends to an impressive 30 hours.

Compatibility and Availability

Artronic indicates that adaptable solutions will be available for smartphones lacking MagSafe functionality. However, the core appeal lies in the seamless integration with MagSafe-enabled devices.

Pre-orders for the Komutr buds will commence on January 15th, with shipping scheduled to begin in May. The retail price is set at $129.
