Launched at the first press conference of Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2015, the Huawei TalkBand N1 headphones have 4GB of built-in storage so you can listen to music without a phone, and also offer basic activity tracking when synced to a smartphone.

Huawei set the theme for MWC 2015 by focusing on new wearables and a smart watch rather than smartphones and tablets, and it's the TrackBand N1 that caught our eye.

The N1 sports headset claims to be "the industry’s first hi-fi stereo and Bluetooth headset", with the Chinese brand claiming the TrackBand N1 uses "high quality loudspeaker components".

Due on sale in May, the Huawei TalkBand N1 has a price tag of 119 euros, so we'd expect it to come in at just under £100 in the UK.
