H uman Mobile Devices, a company that designs technology based on real human needs, is making its Middle East debut with an all-new accessory product line, with its global launch now available in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Iraq.
Leading the way is DUB, a bold new audio brand, and two stylish smartwatches that offer consumers in the region fresh ways to live louder, move smarter and express themselves in style. With sound and movement now at the heart of self-expression, HMD accessories deliver a lifestyle that seamlessly blends modern design with meaningful functionality.
Leading the HMD accessory launch is DUB, designed for a generation that navigates a constant stream of digital, social and emotional noise, yet strives for clarity. Built on the philosophy of “Hear What Matters,” DUB is for those who see music as a refuge from the noise, whether they are creating, connecting or creating personal moments in a busy world.
DUB brings HMD’s human-centric approach to sound, combining thoughtful design with uncompromising performance. Three series cater to different lifestyles: the P-Series is vibrant and accessible for everyday listeners; the S-Series balances style and substance with Dolby AudioTM and ambient noise cancellation; and the X-Series delivers premium sound, led by the flagship DUB X50 Pro.
The DUB X50 Pro elevates everyday life. Powered by Hi-Fi DSP, DUB Platinum delivers rich, balanced sound across all genres. Active noise cancellation and AI-powered four-microphone ENC ensure clear calls in any environment. With up to 60 hours of playtime, fast charging, and smart features like automatic ear detection, multi-point connectivity, and integrated voice assistant control, it easily adapts to dynamic routines from morning workouts to evening gaming to back-to-back calls during the workday.
"People already know HMD for creating honest, practical and human technology," said Sanmeet Singh Kochhar, Vice President, Europe, Asia, Middle East and Africa, HMD Global. "DUB captures that spirit. It's bold, expressive and built for the way we live now, where sound is part of our identity. DUB isn't just something you wear; it's something you feel. It's purity with character."
DUB earphones are built for both durability and style. Clean, minimal lines make them a fashionable accessory, while the HMD DUB Audio app lets users personalize their audio experience. Every detail, from the tactile feel of the earphones to their intuitive usability, reflects HMD’s belief that technology should enhance life, not distract from it.
