Okay, Huawei took the lid off the much-anticipated
Huawei P20/ P20 Pro and along with them came the Huawei FreedBuds among other
accessories. The FreeBuds is a pair of wireless earbuds that looks very much
like Apple’s AirPods but in this case, they come in White and Black colours.
The Huawei FreeBuds comes with an in-ear design
which Huawei says offer better noise isolation than Apple’s AirPods. They also
offer 10 hours of playback when fully charged and this is twice the 5 hours
play time offered by the AirPods on a single charge. The FreeBuds also comes
with a carry case that offers extra charges. The device was announced along
with the Huawei Active Noise Canceling Earphones and a new DAC Headphone
Amplifier which uses an “audiophile-grade” digital-to-analog converter to get
the best audio out of your smartphone.
Huawei’s FreeBuds comes with a price tag of € 159
(US$ 196) which is slightly higher than the $160 price tag which the AirPods
clutched when it was launched in 2016. But then, getting twice the battery
power is worth the extra bucks.
