Huawei’s latest true wireless earphones with Active Noise Cancellation and 10-hour battery life deliver multiple listening options to suit your environment.

Wired audio listening equipment is arguably near extinction now that good-quality True Wireless Sound (TWS) has become commonplace in the market.

It just makes better sense. No more fiddly tangled moments, and you get absolute freedom to move and groove when doing your exercise or chores. With online communications now the norm, a good pair of earphones has become the next tech must-have.

Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) has been positioned as the game-changer for a better audio experience, but the premium pricing has kept some from enjoying the benefits. With the launch of Huawei’s Freebuds 4i, the ability to control what you hear and when you want to hear it is now available to everyone.

PURE SOUND QUALITY WITH RICH BASS

With ANC technology, listeners can set their earphones to focus on what they want to tune in to. For those having trouble enjoying their music through the rumble of a bus engine, for example, this feature allows for a better experience by filtering out the noise.

While passive noise cancellation works physically to seal off unwanted noise, ANC takes it one step further by manipulating sound waves. Mics receive external noise, then send the information to the ANC algorithm that creates an inverse wave. When it reaches the listener’s ears, the two waves cancel each other out.

Technology and battery size have improved to a point where effective ANC can now be used on small earphones, and the Huawei Freebuds 4i is a perfect example of this at work.

The Freebuds 4i has been calibrated to deal with diverse environments, including shopping centres, bus and train stations, and offices. From the gentle humming of air-conditioners to the rattling train noise and buzz from commuters, Huawei has optimised the algorithm to nip these in the bud.

For those times when you need to be more alert of audio signals from your surroundings, like when you are ordering your takeaway coffee, the Freebuds 4i includes an Awareness Mode that lets in the environmental sounds without you physically taking the earphones off.

The earphones deliver these multiple listening options with two external microphones and a powerful 10mm dynamic driver. The dual microphone featuring anti-wind design does double duty by accurately picking up ambient noise and your voice. The in-built AI then processes both to achieve exceptional clarity by minimising the first and isolating the second.

With the Freebuds 4i, your music will not be compromised. Along with the large driver, Huawei has wrapped it with a PEEK+PU polymer diaphragm that delivers a strong bass with high sensitivity to details. A separate rear chamber also ensures consistency and comfort. Tuned by the Huawei audio team to allow for a balanced experience between instrumentals and voice, listeners will find the Freebuds 4i excelling in dishing out vivid pop tunes and music tracks.

IN THE PALM OF YOUR HANDS

With its design inspiration hailing from the Reynisfjara black sand beaches in Iceland, the Freebuds 4i presents the earphones in a clean, oval, edgeless case – much like a pebble polished smooth by the sea. Within, the earphones reflect the same purity in design with soft lines along the stems – a nod to pristine nature.

For a style that never goes wrong, the Huawei Freebuds 4i comes in classic Carbon Black and Ceramic White. For those who prefer a little bit more personality, get the striking Honey Red.

With the increased need for control through the earphones, the Freebuds 4i boasts a gloss coating that repels dirt and scuff marks but stays sensitive to interaction.

Eliminating common mistakes from over- or under-sensitive controls, the capacitive touch sensors on both sides of the earbuds straddle the fine line for a smooth experience. Its smart engine determines the user habits to fine-tune the degree of sensitivity, and even includes an anti-mistouch algorithm to prevent those accidental commands. You’ll be able to easily control playback and voice calls while toggling between the ANC, Awareness Mode and standard audio experience with just a tap or long press.

LONG-LASTING BATTERY LIFE WITH FAST CHARGING

With the improved audio experience, one won’t fault you for wanting to wear the Freebuds 4i all day. And with the long-lasting battery, you can.

The large battery in its compact body comes with low-power consumption solutions. As you shut out the unwanted noise with ANC switched on, you can go on listening to what matters for up to 7.5 hours. With standard mode, you can go up to 10 hours of music and 6.5 hours of calls*. With the charging case, this goes up to 22 hours and 14 hours respectively. 

And for the person always on the go, 10 minutes is all it takes to juice up the Freebuds 4i. With fast charge capabilities, you’ll gain four hours of listening with just a 10-minute charge.

Rich music, clear calls and the ability to shut out noise at will all day? It’s possible now with the Freebuds 4i.
