With the introduction of the HUAWEI FreeBuds 6, the tech giant continues to feature its iconic design without compromising comfort and quality it is known for. These new earbuds maintain its superb sound quality with groundbreaking features powered by HUAWEI’s proprietary audio technology–packaged in a sleek, stylish design that comes in three colors: Black, White, and Purple.

HUAWEI’s new FreeBuds 6 also marks as the industry’s first open-fit earbuds equipped with a Dual Driver Sound System, this includes an AI noise cancellation with a high-resolution, lossless sound at 48kHz / 24-bit via L2HC 4.0 codec technology. This also includes a 2.3Mbps lossless transmission, which ensures a high-definition lossless sound quality. With AI Noise Cancellation up to 95dB, this technology ensures crisp, stable and clear audio during calls.

Considering the fact that people have different listening experiences and preferences, HUAWEI’s FreeBuds 6 has upgraded its Multi-Adaptive EQ system to assure a more personalized hearing experience for every user.

HUAWEI also stated that the battery on the new FreeBuds 6 have significant upgrades in comparison to its predecessor. In a full charge, the earbuds can last up to 36 hours of battery life. And by charging the earbuds in just 5 minutes, users can enjoy up to 2.5 hours of audio playback.

The HUAWEI FreeBuds 6 also features some convenient hands-free features like head motion control. This feature is used when a person gets an incoming call from someone else, and they can answer or reject calls by simply nodding or shaking their head. This feature can prove to be handy for users who have their hands full.

While these new earbuds have the unique, while new droplet open-fit design, they are still created to guarantee a comfortable, ergonomic and a stylish look for the wearer. With these incredible features, the HUAWEI FreeBuds 6 are designed for the everyday consumers, the urban elites, fashion music experts, and the trend followers. These earbuds are marketed as a the perfect combination for any scenario.

Of course, the experience before using these new earbuds always starts with the unboxing. The box itself is simple, and easy to open. Upon opening the box, you will find the charging case along with the earbuds inside resting on top of another cover that reveals a tiny box of ear tips you can install on the earbuds, and beneath it is another box that houses a warranty card, a quick start guide, and a USB-C charger, no adapter included.

As someone who enjoys listening to music and cares about my personal audio experience, looking at its design at first glance makes for a good first impression, especially with its stunning sleek aesthetic. The first time I saw the earbuds and the charging case, I can tell the quality of this device is incredible. With a premium look and feel, especially an iconic unique droplet design, even its pictures won’t be enough to surprise you what it genuinely feels like.

Setting up the HUAWEI FreeBuds 6 is fairly simple. If you’re an Android or an iOS user, installing the HUAWEI Audio Connect app on your phone to properly set up your new earbuds is recommended to make for a full experience. Otherwise, you may not explore the utmost potential of what these earbuds are capable of. But overall, my attempt at setting up the HUAWEI FreeBuds 6 was fairly easy. Just simply open the charging case, tap on connect, and you’re all set. It fits for entry-level users and works well for those looking to use and maximize the device’s features at its best.

After some time using this product, it is easy to say that these are some of the best sounding earbuds I have used. The audio quality is incredible, it amps up the listening experience and may even be on par with some over-ear headphones in the industry.

The EQ feature in these earbuds are simply great, with a selection from Bass Boosts to Hi-Fi Live, there are a number of settings I can use to fully immerse myself that can suit my personal listening experience. The noise cancellation feature works just as well, it manages to silence any background noise I find too annoying and even improves my listening experience wherever I go. And the head motion control is just as convenient, I can simply answer or reject calls with just the movement of my head. I find this to be particularly useful if I ever get my hands full.

Its wearability is something to be admired, as they snug and fit perfectly onto my ears. Because of this, I never worry about them possibly falling off my ear and at the same time a comfortable experience wearing them. I also consider these earbuds as something fashionable even for an average consumer like me. They look beautiful on the ears and the color finishes are simply pleasing to the eye, aesthetically. 

Anywhere I go, this device can deliver the best quality sound I can experience when I travel, take calls, or even just generally enjoy the music I love. HUAWEI has yet again made another lightweight heavy hitter.
