HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 4: The Ultimate Flagship TWS Headphones
When it comes to improving flagship wireless earbuds, HUAWEI engineers have cracked the code with the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 4. These next-generation True Wireless Stereo (TWS) headphones come packed with upgraded features and cutting-edge technology, offering an exceptional audio experience.
What’s Inside the Box?
The HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 4 come with a thoughtful and versatile delivery set. Inside the box, you’ll find multiple ear tips, including four sizes of silicone (XS to L) and three sizes of memory foam tips. These ear tips are designed for superior comfort and enhanced passive noise isolation. The memory foam ear tips are made with medical-grade silicone that molds to your ear canal’s shape, ensuring a snug fit for every user.
The headphones also feature intelligent algorithms that detect the ear tip in use and automatically adjust the active noise cancellation (ANC) for optimal performance. Additionally, the package includes the Type-C charging cable and user instructions.
Design and Build Quality
The HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 4 boast an elegant, fashionable design. The matte black charging case is accented with gold detailing around the edge and a glossy ceramic rectangle near the folding mechanism, engraved with the HUAWEI logo. The case features a Type-C charging port and three built-in speaker holes for sound notifications. The case is ergonomically designed, with a beveled lid for easy access to the earbuds.
The earbuds themselves are crafted from glossy black plastic, designed to match the case. They sit snugly in the charging case, secured with magnetic contacts and easy to remove or return with a simple, satisfying click.
Touch Controls and Ergonomics
The FreeBuds Pro 4 have a sophisticated touch control system. Users can interact with the earbuds by tapping the outer side of the stem, holding the sensor on the inner side, or sliding their finger up or down for volume adjustments. These intuitive controls ensure seamless user experience and convenience.
Cutting-Edge Audio Technology
The HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 4 are equipped with dual drivers per earbud. The first driver is an 11mm unit with a four-magnet system for deep, immersive bass that reaches as low as 14 Hz. The second driver features a flat diaphragm for crystal-clear high frequencies, up to 48 kHz. The dual-driver setup ensures a balanced and high-quality audio experience across all frequency ranges.
For the best sound quality, the FreeBuds Pro 4 use HUAWEI’s proprietary L2HC 3.0 codec, providing wireless transmission of Hi-Res Audio with a resolution of up to 24-bit, 48 kHz. When paired with HUAWEI flagship devices, this codec ensures unbeatable sound fidelity. For other devices, users can rely on LDAC, SBC, or AAC codecs for high-quality audio streaming.
Advanced Noise Cancellation and Voice Clarity
Active noise cancellation (ANC) on the FreeBuds Pro 4 is powered by three microphones that analyze external and internal noise in real time. The headphones dynamically adjust the noise cancellation strength and frequency to ensure maximum comfort, whether you’re in a quiet room or a noisy environment like a subway. The result is a 50% improvement in dynamic ANC performance, delivering exceptional isolation from background noise.
The FreeBuds Pro 4 also feature advanced voice clarity for phone calls, thanks to AI and NearLink technologies. Equipped with four microphones and a bone conduction sensor, these headphones filter out background noise to provide clear, uninterrupted calls. Even in windy conditions, the wind noise suppression technology ensures your voice remains crystal clear.
Additional Features for Enhanced Comfort
The HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 4 offer several convenience features, including the ability to answer or reject calls using head gestures. They also support dual-device connectivity, allowing you to stay connected to two devices simultaneously. The battery life has been improved, with up to 7 hours of playback on a single charge, and 33 hours when using the charging case. The earbuds are also IP54 rated for dust and water resistance, making them perfect for outdoor activities.
AI Life App Integration
The AI Life app enhances the FreeBuds Pro 4 experience, offering a variety of settings and features. From managing device connections to customizing sound modes, the app provides full control over your listening experience. Users can choose between different noise reduction modes, create custom equalizer settings, and even adjust the touch controls.
The app also allows you to enable features like gaming mode for low-latency audio, and it includes a “Find My Earbuds” function to help you locate misplaced earbuds.
Sound Quality: Pure, Rich, and Detailed
The HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 4 deliver unparalleled sound quality, with rich bass and precise high frequencies. In tracks like “Adam” by Ishome, the pulsating bass is immediately noticeable, while the stereo effects create a sense of music beyond the ears. The high frequencies are exceptionally clear, especially in tracks like “Nameless Life” by De-Phazz, where subtle details emerge with remarkable accuracy. Vocals, such as those in “Obmani Menya” by UBEL, are crisp and balanced, adding depth to the overall audio experience.
