On a fan community page on Chinese social media platform Weibo, hundreds of users have posted comments and pictures, some covered in little red hearts, to express their admiration for a star they affectionately call Kun Kun. “Kun Kun flies bravely, iKun will always follow him; Kun Kun never gets old, and will remain a blue-chip till the end,” some users wrote alongside the picture. “Kun Kun,” whose full name is Zhang Kun, is neither a pop star nor actor. Instead, he is one of China’s most prominent fund managers who oversees around 120 billion yuan ($18.6 billion) in assets at E Fund Management, an established Chinese asset management firm. Zhang’s followers, who label themselves “iKun,” (“i” is a homophone for the Chinese word love), have also created accounts on Weibo posing as his “global fan clubs.” “Kun Kun, I would like to accompany you for many, many years,” a follower wrote. “Let’s witness both the bull and bear markets, but still return with young hearts.” ...
The 2020 Pixel Buds were revealed back in October during the Made by Google event 2019 that was primarily held to launch the Pixel 4. Google stated that were slated for a 2020 launch and now a listing has been spotted in the Bluetooth SIG, confirming its imminent arrival.
At the Made by Google 2019 event, Google only showcased dummy models of the Pixel Buds 2, essentially highlighting the new design of the wireless earbuds. The original Pixel Buds were announced back in 2017, but it was not of the truly wireless type of earphones, instead it has a wire connecting the two earbuds together. The new design makes the Pixel Buds 2 truly wireless with a much more compact carrying case.
Being a dummy model, the sound quality of the earbuds could not be determined. However, at $179 (Rs. 12,790 approx.), it can be expected to have a similar acoustic performance to the Apple AirPods or Sony’s wireless earbuds.
The listing does point out in its description the presence of an ambient vent, similar to the ones found on the AirPods Pro. This will ensure users do not feel the tightness in their ear canals that’s common with in-ear designs. Google has also placed in dual microphones that can be used for its Adaptive Sound functionality, along with other features like voice accelerometer, long-range Bluetooth connectivity and more.
