The TalkBand B2 is constructed of light weight aviation aluminum and has an HD touch screen. Huawei says the TalkBand B2 can operate up to five days on a single battery charge. It will work with both Android 4.0 or higher devices as well as iOS devices. Available in black, silver and gold, the TalkBand B2 will be priced at 199 euros ($223 USD) with the premium leather band and 169 euros ($189 USD) with the TPU strap.


Meanwhile, the TalkBand N1 looks like a wireless in-ear headset. Huawei says the sound should rival higher end headsets. The device is more than a headset though as Huawei has built in 4 GB of local MP3 storage. When paired with a smartphone, Huawei says the TalkBand N1 can also function as sports tracker. When not being worn in the ear, Huawei equipped the TalkBand N1 with magnetic earbuds that will stick together so the device can be worn as a necklace. The TalkBand N1 will be available in sliver, grey or red with a retail price of 119 euros ($133 USD).
