Huawei x Gentle Monster Eyewear 2 launched in Singapore
Huawei Singapore has launched the next generation smart glasses, the HUAWEI × GENTLE MONSTER Eyewear II. This new eyewear comes with various new improvements over the first-gen eyewear.
Based on their core design philosophy of the seamless fusion of technology with fashion, Huawei’s second-generation smart glasses continue to focus on audio and smart innovation, with a more avant-garde yet comfortable design and a greater wealth of outstanding smart functions to experience. With it, Huawei is forging a unique and iconic smart wear trend for sophisticated fashion-conscious consumers.
Eyewear II was designed using Huawei’s core technologies and acoustic privacy protection features. The semi-open, ultra-thin, large-amplitude speaker effectively cancels out sound leakage and provides the wearer with high-definition stereo sound.
The newly upgraded Smart Interaction function turns the glasses into your own personal assistant, which offers not only faster access to information, but also a more intelligent form of interaction, providing consumers with a brand new experience of smart wearable technology.
Fashion and improved design:
The HUAWEI X GENTLE MONSTER Eyewear II offers a more comfortable wearing experience. Integrating technologies in a precise manner, the slim temples are made of plastic titanium for lower density and lighter weight.
The hinge between the temples and the frame rim is also made of titanium elastic, with increased holding strength to reduce the gripping feeling brought about on the temples. Furthermore, the curved earpiece angle has been increased from the first generation, from 12-degree to 20-degree, to achieve a better fit.
Compared to the first generation, Eyewear II features a larger, slimmer, large-amplitude loudspeaker that offers a wider soundstage range for a more immersive sound experience, perfect for listening to music, playing games, or watching TV.
Eyewear II also features a unique acoustic privacy design, with one semi-open speaker on each side of the lens temple, which transmits sound directly to the wearer’s ear through the directional sound chamber, effectively reducing sound leakage and providing a clearer and more layered stereo experience.
Meanwhile, both temples include a leakage hole design that can offset the directional sound waves generated by sound cavities, further reducing sound leakage. Together with adaptive volume technology, Eyewear II can automatically lower the volume based on the ambient sound environment, which ensures the user can hear clearly while minimizing the impact on the people around them.
Smart audio, smart interaction
Eyewear II supports updated smart gesture control. For pairing, users only need to gently pinch on the left temple. In addition, the voice assistant can be easily activated by a double-tap on the left temple. Eyewear II also supports swiping gestures.
To play the next/previous song or adjust the volume, users only need to make a few swipes on the temples without taking out their phones. Equipped with multiple advanced sensors, Eyewear II can intelligently detect wear status.
For instance, during music playback, Eyewear II will pause when the sensors detect that the user has taken off the glasses, and will resume if the user puts them on again within three minutes.
In addition, Eyewear II makes a step forward in terms of smart experience. After the user puts aside their Eyewear II for a while and put them on again, a window will pop up on the smartphone screen, so the user can check Eyewear II’s battery level with a glance.
By tapping on the pop-up window, the user can quickly go to the device’s settings for more details. Eyewear II plays a greeting when the user puts them on for the first time each day.
Aside from outstanding audio experience, Eyewear II comes with a powerful battery to allow users to keep wearing them for hours on end. Eyewear II can play music for 5 hours continuously on a single charge.
Moreover, Eyewear II features new NFC contactless and wireless fast charging technology, allowing the glasses to be ready to use anytime, anywhere.
HUAWEI X GENTLE MONSTER Eyewear II is now available in Singapore at S$638 in selected Huawei Concept Stores at 313@Somerset and Westgate, consumer electronic stores including Best Denki, Challenger & Hachi.tech, COURTS, Harvey Norman, and official online stores with Lazada and Shopee.
