When is it planned to start selling Suunto Aqua Light Headphones on the European market (EU)?
-
I am completely satisfied with the Suunto Aqua Light Headphones package (without power bank and they are lighter), because I use Suunto Ocean and Smart sensor for managing my activities. Is there at least a month known when they might be available for purchase in the EU?
-
@Erw-Romm I guess likely not planned at all due to EU regulations, which now require all headphones to have USB-C connector.
Which is a bit stupid regulation, especially in case of waterproof headphones. For such devices magnetic charger is likely better from usability and waterproofness viewpoints.Opinions expressed are solely my own and do not express the views or opinions of my employer

What happens when the governments micromanage……occurs a lot in the US. The idea behind this is not a bad one but lawmakers rarely understand the implications……

@pavel.samokha Checked User manuals - both “Suunto Aqua light” and “Suunto Aqua” for charging headsets (connection to headset) using “magnets”, both use USB for music transfer - difference is charging “Aqua Light” model uses USB (same connector as for mp3 transfer) but “Aqua” USB-C (in powerbank). I’m not sure, that is a big problem, add one more connector USB = USB-C (for charging in EU).

@pavel.samokha Yes indeed, Shokz had to re-engineer their bone-conduction with a usb-c on the side instead of a magnetic port.
