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. -
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.
