Lenovo's $88 Yoga earbuds offer 40dB noise cancelling and 36-hour battery — but only in China
Lenovo has launched a new pair of budget noise-cancelling earbuds in China, and the specs punch well above the $88 price tag — if you can actually get them. The Yoga True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds pack 40dB active noise cancellation (ANC) and up to 36 hours of total battery life, undercutting most Western rivals at similar specs. The catch: no US, UK, or European availability has been announced.
The specs
The earbuds use 12.2mm drivers and a three-microphone system designed to filter background noise while keeping voice calls clear. IPX4 water resistance means rain and sweat are fine; submerging them is not. The vertical charging case is a design quirk that sets them apart visually.
Battery life is the headline number: 24 hours total with ANC running, or 36 hours with it off. A 10-minute quick charge gets you about two hours of playback, and a full charge takes around an hour — both reasonable for the price.

Lenovo also built in tight integration with its Yoga laptop line. Open the case near a compatible Yoga PC and it will prompt you to connect — a small but genuinely useful convenience for anyone already in that ecosystem.
The availability problem
This is where things stall. The earbuds are currently sold exclusively in China via JD.com at roughly ¥599 (~$88), per Gizmochina. Lenovo's US storefront lists Yoga PC Edition earbuds, but no Noise Cancelling variant. The UK site is similarly bare — Currys and John Lewis show no stock, and there's been no press announcement for either market.
At $88, the price would sit comfortably against budget ANC competition from JBL, Soundcore, and Anker, which typically run $50–100 in the US and UK. But without a confirmed Western launch, that comparison stays theoretical.
Worth watching
Lenovo hasn't ruled out a broader rollout, but there's no timeline. The absence of CE certification listing or any Western retail presence suggests the company is treating this as an Asia-Pacific product for now. If it does make it to the US or UK, $88 would be a genuinely competitive entry point in a crowded sub-$100 ANC market. Until then, it's one to bookmark rather than buy.
