The '''HUAWEI Eyewear 2''' is a smart audio glasses device developed by [[Huawei]], announced in September 2023 and released globally in 2024 at €300 (~$325). As the successor to the original HUAWEI Eyewear collaboration with Gentle Monster, the Eyewear 2 represents Huawei's refined approach to audio smart glasses with significantly improved specifications: 20% slimmer temples, 28% slimmer temple tips, and a titanium frame weighing only 4.7 grams (total weight 36.6-43g depending on style). The audio system features cutting-edge co-directional dual diaphragm dynamic drivers with dual-coil four-magnet architecture, boosting media volume by 30% and speaker amplitude by 40% over the predecessor. Key innovations include 2nd generation reverse sound field technology for enhanced audio privacy, dual microphones positioned 20mm closer to the mouth for improved call clarity, wind-noise-resistant ducts maintaining clear audio at up to 4.5 m/s wind speeds, and smart environment detection that automatically reduces volume in quiet spaces. Battery life reaches up to 11 hours of music playback or 9 hours of calls, with fast charging delivering 3 hours of use from just 10 minutes of charging. Available in four frame styles (Rectangle Semi-Frame, Browline, Square Sunglasses, Round Eyewear), the IP54-rated Eyewear 2 supports dual-device connection via Bluetooth 5.3 with seamless switching between Android, iOS, and Windows devices.
