While we can’t readily verify the claim that the hGroovs are the world’s first “smart wireless charging earbuds”, they definitely look very nice. The fit of earbuds is very subjective, so the folks behind the hGroovs provide buyers with three different tip and wing sizes to swap out. Designed for active users (but also being compatible with any phone, laptop, PC, tablet or portable gaming console), the earbuds are waterproof and “wear-resistant”. You charge the earbuds by placing them in their little case, and the case itself can be charged either by microUSB or the included wireless charging mat. The case provides the earbuds with 3.5 hours of listening time per charge, and (if fully charged itself) can recharge the hGroovs up to five times, giving you potentially 21 hours of music. With a 10m range, a minimalistic design and lightweight form, as well as virtual assistant compatibility, it all sounds like a very tempting package.
