By the way, TWS is translated into Lithuanian in several ways: “completely wireless headphones” or “really wireless headphones” (this variant, in my opinion, is more fun and reflects the essence more). Popularity is determined by the compactness and functionality of such headphones. Both features of these TWS earphones have changed rapidly over the past year, the former decreased and the latter expanded significantly.
The first FreeBuds model of Huawei headphones in the TWS segment came out two years ago, and it was a sign that Huawei sees the potential of this segment. 2019 The FreeBuds 3 model was introduced in 2006, revealing that the company’s intentions to become a leader in the TWS market are very serious. The latest FreeBuds Pro model is another important step and a very serious challenge for competitors. It seems they are already forced to chase.

Five important features
The latest TWS segment headset, FreeBuds Pro, was unveiled by Huawei in September, and after a while the product fell into the hands of testers who like to compare products from different companies and find out who could be the segment leader. I will not reveal any secrets about the fact that the FreeBuds headphones have generally been (and are) compared to an Apple product in the same category. This is already normal and normal in our world.
The TWS headphones test focuses on five things: how the headphones fit in the ear, what is the sound quality, how the microphone works, how much the headphones can handle on a fully charged battery, and how much they cost. I would add a sixth category of evaluation: design, where I would include not only the look of the headphones or how they look in the ear, but also the design of the case: the charger. The last feature should probably be evaluated as follows: do you feel like Santa just came to you after grabbing the TWS headphone box? Or maybe you received a fantastic gift from your loved one? But maybe you just have an ordinary plastic box on hand? The first impression when you take out the FreeBuds Pro box is that Christmas is near. Although the FreeBuds Pro Headphone Charger is made of plastic, its weight, appearance, surface area, and cover opening mechanism create a recognizable feel that is always present when you hold a quality product in your hands. There are only three variants in the FreeBuds Pro headphone color gamut: White Ceramic, Silver Asphalt, Carbon Black. But any of them create a feeling of luxury.
In the ear, the headphones hold securely, plus the additional annoying sensation of a foreign body. Huawei has shortened the body of the earbuds and is now only 26mm long and weighs just 6.1g per earbud. But most importantly, when you put the headphones in your ears, you immediately feel that you are isolated from the ambient noise – the isolation is excellent.

Sound and noise
Speaking of the sound of the Huawei FreeBuds Pro in the broadest sense, because it is not only about the sound we hear in the headphones, which is emitted by the dynamic 11 mm headphone speaker, but also the sound that our microphone transmits to our interlocutor. Intelligent dynamic noise cancellation. Noise reduction systems are not a unique feature of headphones these days, but the FreeBuds Pro headphones are distinguished by the fact that they recognize a wide range of ambient noises, compare them to the scenarios in their memory and adjust the operation. of the noise reduction system accordingly. Thus, it can be said that these headphones have artificial intelligence, which other headphones in the TWS segment cannot boast of.
When you hear the sound from FreeBuds Pro, you will immediately understand why the word “Pro” appears in the name of these headphones – the sound is detailed, dynamic, deep and natural. The audio frequencies are perfectly balanced, which may not appeal to those who love all-encompassing bass “bass” and therefore choose massive ear-covering headphones, but you can work with an equalizer and boost the low frequencies. I was still very impressed by the detail of the sound – I listened to a wide variety of music, from classical to heavy rock, and the detail was very clear throughout.
The noise reduction system stands out, which uses three microphones (two internal, one external) and a sensor that captures the vibrations transmitted to our inner ear. The noise reduction system works quite complexly: from the data obtained, it forms a kind of anti-noise, and thus can reduce the actual noise by 40 dB. This system has four modes, from “General” to “Ultra”, which can be selected depending on the environment. The influence of the noise reduction system on the sound quality of the transmission is minimal.
Another thing worth noting is the “Voice Mode”. This option suppresses all ambient noise except human voice, so without hearing the general chaos, you can listen to music and hear what the speaker at the train station or airport or a friend sitting next to you is saying, just click on the body of the headphones.
The detail and brightness of the headphones feel good when talking on the phone. I tried different options, outdoors, at the bar during the Euroleague match, everything sounds great and the noise reduction system copes well with all sounds that interfere with conversation. I asked the interlocutors what they heard during the conversation and the answer was the same: somewhere far away, something very insignificant, some barely audible background, but I do not even identify who, in addition, does not interfere in the conversation.
Another thing I’d like to commend is the great connection. Leaving the phone in a corner of the house, I was walking around the rooms all the time, but there was no shaking, which is usually typical for wireless headphones. Furthermore, thanks to the Bluetooth 5.2 connection, the FreeBuds Pro headphones can connect to two devices simultaneously, eg. Eg smartphone and laptop.
Management and other important things
Huawei’s headphones work with the FreeBuds Pro AI Life application, a very useful tool to control the noise cancellation system of the headphones, adjust the audio settings and have a voice assistant.
All the functions of this device are easy to find, there is everything you need, not too much, not too little. By the way, the noise reduction system can be controlled not only with the application, but also by touching the body of the headphones; You can turn on the “Voice Mode” to suppress the external noise, but “skip” the human voice, you can turn on a higher level and block all the noise, you can turn it all off, so that the external sounds reach your ears. Headphone control: easy: short touch, repeatedly touch, long touch, swipe up or down: these gestures allow you to answer, end a call, adjust the volume, pause the recording, play another song, turn off or deactivate the cancellation of noise.
How long can you enjoy good music? The battery capacity of a headset is 55 mAh. The headphone charger case also has a battery with a capacity of 580 mAh. When fully charged, the headset works for about 4 hours if you listen to music and about 2.5 hours if you talk on the phone all that time. When the noise reduction system is off, the working time is extended to 7 hours for listening to music and 3 hours for talking. The headphones are fully charged in 40 minutes, the case per hour.
Is it worth having or not? I think FreeBuds Pro is one of the leaders in the segment at the moment. Comfortable to operate, comfortably “sitting” in the ear, it suppresses noise well and perfectly reveals the details of any musical style.
