Huawei TalkBand 3 brings more styles, better audio

At the Huawei P9 and P9 Plus premiere today, the company also revealed the TalkBand B3 band. Just like on its predecessor, the band is passive and is a holder for the Bluetooth earpiece, which sits on top of it. The earpiece itself is where the major updates are too.

For starters, Huawei touts it to be more ergonomic and has a high-grade chipset resulting in better audio performance. The sound volume is up by 25% compared to the B2 and the wind noise cancellation is bumped by 80%. Finally, the glass covering the earpiece is 3D-curved Corning Gorilla Glass (Huawei doesn't specify which generation though).

The bracelet itself, while familiar, is slightly updated and is now available in a few variations. You can get it in Classic (Brown, Gold), Elite (Rose Gold) and Active (Black or White rubber bands).

The Active version will be the cheapest at €169, the Classic version will set you back €199, while the metal Elite band is the priciest at €249.
