Huawei FreeBuds 3i
ANC, 3.50 h, WirelessProduct details
With their cone-shaped main bodies ergonomically crafted for style and fit, these in-ear earphones offer an immersive acoustic experience. Pair them with the flexible silicone tips that come in four different sizes for a comfortable and secure fit. Better shape, better seal, better sound.
While the outward-facing mic detects ambient noise to actively counter with anti-noise, the inward-facing mic picks up residual noise in your ears for further cancellation. Huawei FreeBuds 3i offers a thorough noise-cancelling experience for your immersive enjoyment.
Huawei FreeBuds 3i creates an ideal listening atmosphere by lowering the noise level by up to 32 dB. Listen to high-fidelity music, thrilling movie audio effects, and clear voices from loved ones, and enjoy uninterrupted moments with your favorite sounds.
Huawei FreeBuds 3i comes with two outward-facing mics to accurately pick up your voice while avoiding other environmental noises, and a third inward-facing mic receives the voice conducted inside your ears to further enhance call quality. Everything you say is clear regardless of the noises.
With Huawei FreeBuds 3i's highly sensitive diaphragm carefully tuned to deliver authentic, balanced audio and the 10 mm large dynamic drivers delivering powerful bass, you will feel the brilliance of every note in your ears.
Pair Huawei FreeBuds 3i automatically with the pop-up window when the charging case is open, and you are good to go. Battery status is also visible when pairing. Instantly enjoy your favorite music. With built-in capacitive sensors on both sides, Huawei FreeBuds 3i presents convenient tapping features and accurate control that disregards unintentional touches. Playback pauses when the earbuds are taken out and resumes once they are placed back in. Huawei FreeBuds 3i syncs with your every move.

- Simple and reliable operation
- Decent sound with good ANC
- Battery life a little too short
- Trebles are not particularly clear
Due to their design, the FreeBuds 3i sit a little more securely in the ear than the Freebuds 3 and shield better from the outside world. The in-ears are also very well made and can be easily paired with the smartphone. ... The noise cancellation surprised us in this price range: especially in-ears have less space for the necessary technology, but in the underground, only a few sounds from outside are...

Straight out: What Huawei offers at this price is currently outstanding. The only criticism is the comparatively short battery life. Otherwise, the FreeBuds 3i stands up to the big model on all levels - and at a top price.
- Very good active noise reduction with up to 24 dB
- good sound for the price
- Plugs have a very good fit and are very comfortable to wear
- handy charging case
- Very high maximum volume
- App offers almost no setting options
