On March 26th, netizens sparked a heated discussion on social media platforms after a video showcasing a pair of headphones with a screen from Huaqiangbei went viral. Netizens exclaimed, "Huaqiangbei has really outdone themselves with this self-developed innovation."
From the footage that surfaced, these wireless headphones come with a touchscreen on the charging case, allowing users to swipe left or right to change tracks, control volume, select noise-canceling modes, adjust the equalizer, and more.
The screen also displays basic information such as battery level and time, and even allows users to change the lock screen wallpaper, making it incredibly convenient to use.
"Can Apple learn a thing or two from Huaqiangbei's innovation?" "Wait, isn't this just like the old MP3 players with wireless headphones?" "Looks like Apple might be taking cues from Huaqiangbei in the future," netizens commented one after another.
It's reported that these headphones are priced at less than 100 CNY in Huaqiangbei, generally ranging from 85 to 90 CNY.
Some merchants mentioned that while these headphones have been on the market for some time, they've been selling exceptionally well lately and are currently out of stock. However, strictly speaking, they're not entirely independently developed.
