Huawei FreeBuds 4 Overview
Huawei FreeBuds 4 is the successor to the FreeBuds 3, a huge success; they have a similar design. They come with active noise cancellation and smart touch control, and audio connection.
Design and Build Quality
Huawei FreeBuds 4 has a semi-open design with a circular case for charging and carrying the earbuds. The earbuds have three color options: White, Silver, and Red. Each earbud weighs 4.1 grams, and the charging case weighs 38 grams.
The earbuds are IPX4 certified, giving protection against dust and accidental water splash.
The company claims the buds to be more comfortable as they are made by collecting the sample of more than ten thousand 3D human ear models. They claim that the earbuds will sit comfortably and do not get stuffy even when worn for a longer period.
Performance
The earbuds have a Kirin A1 processor, touch control, and a built-in 14.3 mm dynamic driver with an independent bass enhancement engine, three microphones for voice and reducing noise during the call, and AI sounds effect. It has 90ms ultra-low latency during gaming.
The high sensitivity microphone supports high definition vocal recording at a sampling rate of 40kHz.
The FreeBuds 4 reduces the external low-frequency noise with the help of adaptive noise reduction technology, which makes the noise reduction more convenient for your ears. A hybrid active noise reduction capability of up to 25db is achievable.
Likewise, you get an impressive feature of dual device connection. The earbuds connect over Bluetooth v5.2. They have a special clear voice mode for vloggers, which picks up the voice even in the noisier environments.
A long press on the earbud will either enable or disable the noise cancellation; it also rejects the call if there is an incoming call. Similarly, the double press on the earbuds will play/pause the music, skip the playing track, or accept the incoming calls. You can regulate the volume using the up/down sliding gesture on either bud.
Battery
The FreeBuds 4 packs a battery of 30mAh in each bud; it has a battery of 410mAh in the charging case. The brand promises a 15-minutes quick charge to give up to 2.5 hours of playback, while the full charge takes one hour.
The charging case supports any Qi-compatible charger for wireless charging and also charges via a USB Type-C port.
The Huawei FreeBuds 4 has a battery life of 4 hours on playback and has up to 22 hours of battery life with the charging case. Meanwhile, the 4 hours of battery life is achievable only when the active noise reduction is off.
