The wireless headphone market is booming with Sony and Apple betting more and more on this segment.
Now it seems that Huawei is also interested in this type of equipment and even has a totally innovative wireless charging solution that can beat its competitors Sony and Apple.
Patent application shows a wireless solution for charging headphones… wirelessly
The wireless headphone market has seen significant growth. Not only because of the appearance of new equipment, but also because of the visible demand of users for this type of device. Currently, Apple and Sony are two of the main players in this segment.
But it seems that Huawei may be preparing to enter the area and with an innovative solution that can outperform North American and Japanese rivals.
All because the Chinese macra recently filed a patent application for a wireless charging solution for wireless headphones. It seems logical that if the headphones do not have cables, their charging is also done without cable tangles.
But really it’s not so. AirPods Max and Sony WH-1000XM4 do not support wireless charging. The Apple model requires a Lightning cable to recharge the batteries, and the Sony model gets more power through the built-in USB Type-C port.
How Huawei’s new charging solution works
And that is why Huawei’s new wireless charging solution is completely innovative and could outperform its rivals in this segment. We agree that wireless charging is a strong buying argument, especially if Huawei manages to be the first brand to offer the solution on the market.
In the patent application now discovered, it is also possible to access the description of how this new solution works. Thus, according to the documentation, the headphones will consist of two headphones connected by an arc.
Each earbud will have a case, touch controls, copper wireless charging contacts, and a circuit board connected to the battery. When the earbuds are in contact with the wireless charger, they start charging the copper contacts included in each earbud.
This is because these copper contacts are actually electrical conductors. Also according to the same documentation, Huawei has increased the effective induction area so that the charge is carried out with maximum efficiency.
From the explanation, we can see that the idea is simple: just place the earphones on the charging base to recharge the battery.
Unfortunately, there is no information on the launch date of this innovative solution and the fact that the patent application has been made to a Chinese entity may suggest a concentrated availability in the Chinese market.
