Same Sound, New Color

During the international release, Ugreen will be releasing a second color option for the T3 earbuds. Previously, the earbuds were only available in white, but they will now also be available in black. The black version of the T3 earbuds will maintain the same sleek form factor and provide the same high-quality audio.

T3 Key Features

The T3 earbuds feature 10mm PU+Wool composite dynamic drivers, which offer punchy and dynamic bass without sacrificing mid and high tones.

In addition, they offer feed-forward ANC which can reduce ambient noise by 25 dB. This is a proprietary system developed by the HiTune Acoustics Lab. The ANC doesn’t produce inner ear pressure, so listeners can spend hours comfortably enjoying their music.

The T3 earbuds also feature the Real Voice 4.0 environmental noise cancellation system, which effectively filters out 90% of external noise.

HiTune T3 earbuds were launched in February on Amazon UK with a recommended retail price of £35.99. Today the T3 earbuds will launch on Amazon US, and several European Amazon stores at the price of $35.99. Additionally, they will be available on Ugreen’s Official Website around May 7th.
