European Union Rules That All Phones Sold in the Region Should Come With USB Type-C Chargers
European Union officials have agreed on new rules requiring a uniform charging cord for smartphones and other devices, a move that would make life easier for consumers fed up with rummaging through a tangle of cables for the right one. EU negotiators said they inked a provisional agreement on a “single charging solution,” part of a wider effort to make products sold in the 27-nation bloc more sustainable and cut down on electronic waste.
The new rules, which will take effect by fall 2024, mean EU consumers will only need to use a common USB Type-C cable for small and medium-sized rechargeable, portable electronic devices. The devices covered include mobile phones, tablets, e-readers, earbuds, digital cameras, headphones and headsets, handheld videogame consoles, and portable speakers.
Laptops also are covered, but manufacturers will have extra time to comply. While many electronics makers have started adopting USB-C sockets into their devices, Apple has been one of the main holdouts. Apple had previously said it’s concerned the rules would limit innovation and hurt consumers. The company’s iPhones come with their own Lightning charging port, though newer models include cables that can be plugged into a USB-C socket.
The EU rules also outline standards for fast charging technology and give consumers the right to choose whether to buy new devices with or without a charger, which the EU estimates will save consumers 250 million euros ($266 million) a year. Reducing electronic waste is another goal. The EU estimates disposed or unused chargers account for 11,000 metric tons of e-waste in Europe every year.
Sennheiser has introduced its first Sports headphones in several years. The new SPORT True Wireless earbuds are now available to athletes and sports enthusiasts in the UAE who have an authentic love for fitness, sports as well as music and great sound.
Choose an open ear adapter style to stay aware of your surroundings but at the same time minimize body-borne noise, like hearing your own breathing or footsteps. Or simply switch to an insulating closed-ear adapter that blocks outside sound for an immersive audio experience.
Adaptable Acoustics tailor the sound experience for the level of immersion or awareness preferred. Our unique Adaptable Acoustic feature offers the choice of either open or closed ear adapters, that match with special EQ modes to provide the perfect setting for your exercise.
“Sennheiser Consumer Audio’s SPORT True Wireless is the ideal companion to drive your performance. In addition to the legendary Sennheiser’s Signature Sound, it features Adaptable Acoustic offering a choice of open and closed ear adapters – thus you can tailor the listening experience for greater running comfort or more immersion.” said Heston Saldanha, Sales Director, Sennheiser Consumer Audio Middle East FZCO. “Secure customized fit and IP54 rating make the SPORT True Wireless ready for the most unpredictable challenges – so you can take your sports to the next level.”
The SPORT True Wireless is powered by Sennheiser’s TrueResponse transducer, a unique 7mm dynamic audio driver that delivers a high-end sound experience with full bass. A built-in equalizer allows users to fine-tune the sound experience to individual taste with a choice of presents through the Smart Control App. The ergonomic fit of the SPORT True Wireless earbuds can be customized with a choice of ear adapters in three sizes and four different ear fins, so they stay comfortably in place during any performance.
The earbuds’ tough design provides splash, dust and sweat resistance. There’s no need to slow down when conditions get tough: the sleek durable design has an IP54 rating so it can easily handle sweat, rain, or workouts on the beach. The earbuds deliver 9 hours playback time and a further 18 hours with on-the-go charging via the case, for a total of 27 hours.
The Sennheiser Sports True Wireless are available for AED 499 in black.
