HUAWEI FreeBuds 3

Advantages: I took myself red headphones. Yes, they may look like a red make-up bag for a girl, but the color, I will say, is bombastic, beautiful. Black and white are already tired. The form factor makes it easy to put the case in your pocket and also easy to reach. It slips easily into a jeans pocket, even if the pocket fits snugly around the leg. Sound. That's great. With high sound quality, the headphones produce good bass. If you listen to old songs from the 80s, 90s, you will have to play with the equalizer. The quality of the songs is already weak and the bass, though there is, is weak. I took headphones for good sound and good bass and I got it. Shumodav. Well, yes, he is, he is good. The sound in the train and the subway dwarfs well. But I don't use it that often. In ordinary life on the street, I turn off the noise reduction, because during the wind, the noise reduction gives all the sound of the wind to the headphones. on the street and without noise reduction external sounds are not audible.

Disadvantages: There is not enough application for the iPhone. Oh, how not enough. I had to install an application on a tablet with an android in order to customize the headphones for myself, configure the buttons and update the headphone software. But in general, if you need headphones to plug in and listen, then you can do without an application on any smartphone, laptop and any other device.

Comment: I looked closely at these headphones for a long time. I read a lot of reviews and among the Free Buds 3 and Free Buds 3i I still chose the first ones. And I do not regret anything. The sound quality suits me. Color, in my opinion, is generally a bomb. At first I was afraid to scratch the case, and then, somehow it became all the same, they do not scratch in my pocket. And the covers for them can be found inexpensively on the Chinese website known to us. Telephone conversations go well, extraneous sounds do not climb into the microphone, there is no wind and external noises do not interfere either. Both one earphone and both at once work quietly. If the earphone is in the case, it is silent. They charge quickly, work for a long time. Instantly connect to the last connected device.

Advantages: I'm only a fan of earplugs. I often walk near the road and take the subway. I tried a couple of times to change to the earbuds, to the analogue of Airpods, and to Huawei Freebads 2, all were sold. After a while, I tried to switch to earbuds again, bought a Xiaomi Air 2 (I do not advise anyone, they are quiet and look awful) and now I discovered Huawei. Huawei Freebads 3 made me reconsider my attitude towards earbuds. You can use these headphones. 1. Noise reduction. Huawei have done a fantastic feature. Just think about it. Noise reduction at earbuds. Really working noise reduction.You can hear everything when you walk next to a road with heavy traffic or take the subway. It's just awesome. 2. Sound. It's as good as good earbud sound can be. The engineers have pulled the most out of the sound earbuds possible. 3. Design. He impressed me. The case has an unusual shape in the form of a washer or soap. It feels like a compact device in the hands. 4. Backlash of the case cover is minimal and is unlikely to cause problems for those who care. When closed, the case feels like a monolith. 5. In the software, you can configure tapes or adjust the strength of noise reduction. The screenshots are loaded and everything should be clear from them. 6. Microphones when communicating are simply divine. 7. Taps are implemented very conveniently, the response is very clear and fast. 8. Stable communication. There are separate locations in the city where any headphones stutter. I have these low buildings next to the metro, where there should be a lot of traffic and a tower, or open spaces. This is probably due to cell towers. I don't know exactly, but I sin on them. But these headphones, as it turned out, do not care. The connection is very stable. I don’t know how the engineers managed to cope with this. But they could. 9. Long-term work. They promise 3-3.5 hours. There are earpieces that work for 7 hours. But in fairness, 3 hours of work, for me, for the eyes. And very, very rarely when this time is not enough. In my opinion, in my entire life there were once or twice.

Disadvantages: 1.Lack of thoughtful placement of the headphones in the case. When you take them out, you need to turn them 180 degrees to insert them into your ear. It is clear that it is a matter of habit and after a while the skill is developed and this will not cause inconvenience. But at first it feels like a strong disadvantage. 2. Glossy material. Collects scuffs and leaves prints on the case. Xiaomi Air 2 has everything matte, and looks and feels much fresh. 3. Insufficient control through headphones. They have two tapas control. And that's it, just two tapas. Not one, not three, but only two. Any function can be hung on them. For example, two taps on the right - switch to the next track, and on the left - enable or disable noise reduction. 4. Spontaneous headphone response. This happens very often for me. In particular, the left one turns on or off the noise reduction if I jump or during high-intensity walking up the stairs, when I am in a hurry somewhere. This is annoying. And this problem exists in the Huawei Freebads earbuds. I have not seen this problem with other manufacturers. 5. Lagging YouTube. I use headphones in a bundle of Samsung Note 8 and the lag is visible. 6. Great price. I managed to snatch them with a New Year's discount and the price came out lower than on the Chinese site.

Comment: When I heard that they made noise in the inserts, the first reaction was “nooooo, some kind of nonsense”. Anyway, the marketing function and of course it is not possible to use it. But guys, what am I going to tell you. Shumodav works. And how. It's not just function for function's sake, it's actually a function that works Here Huawei surprised me greatly. For comparison, with Xiaomi Air 2, a walk next to the road becomes a test, if you turn the sound on Xiaomi to the maximum, then it is very difficult to make out something, and if in the subway, then Xiaomi is completely drained, because I can not hear anything. On the other hand, a walk, with Huawei headphones with noise control turned on, next to the road is perceived as if you are in gags, the podcast is heard, all words can be made out. In the metro, Huawei copes a little worse than plugs (Xiaomi generally drains like that), but turning on the noise reduction and turning the sound 100%, you can still make out the words in the podcast without any problems. I will try to describe how the noise reduction works next to the road. If you listen to a podcast next to the road without noise reduction, then it is difficult to make out the words, and you get very tired of turning the sound to the maximum from high volume. But turning on the noise reduction everything changes, the sound of passing cars becomes in the background. It's like walking in the woods next to an expressway. Yes, you can hear a bunch of racing cars, but the cars are somewhere in the background and you hear the podcast in your headphones and hear the words not even at maximum volume.Here is such a miracle, it is impossible to name it otherwise in the inserts, it creates the noise of the Huaveevsky ears. Since I was impressed with the work of the noise driver, I decided to test it in different conditions. If you turn it on in a quiet room, then the noise reduction somehow starts to put pressure on the brain. Some kind of obsessive pressure is felt, only unpleasant feelings. If you turn on the noise reduction and put on a hat on top, then the noise reduction will go crazy. Either it presses harder, now it is weaker, and these switching from strong to weak are also noticeable, which causes uncomfortableness. Huawei work off every ruble invested. Definitely a treadmill

Advantages: Great headphones. Connect quickly and easily. The interlocutor perfectly hears the voice during the conversation. You can use the left or right earphone for calls.

Disadvantages: Only one - no Multipoint. Either you connect to the phone or to the player.

Comment:

Advantages: Price, sound.

Disadvantages: The case, of course ... original and a bit big compared to the apple version.

Comment: Satisfied with the purchase of this device. There are pluses in comparison with an apple: noise reduction, wireless charging + in terms of form factor it is easier to get them out of the case and insert / remove from the ears, but the price is 2 times less compared to the main competitor. The only thing that is unusual is the case, but this is a matter of time) I recommend purchasing, especially if you have saved up thanks from Sberbank and a couple of discount coupons for Beru.

Advantages: - Sound - Connection quality - Form factor (subjective) - Control - Quick connection - Microphone - Autonomy

Disadvantages: Did not reveal

Comment: I did not expect something cosmic from TWS headphones, but, nevertheless, they pleasantly surprised me. The headphones quickly connect to the phone, transmit sound well, hold a charge well, and do not fall out of the ears. The autonomy is very good (it takes a little over an hour to drive from home to work, from the moment you leave the house they are discharged by about 15%). Out of the box, the control settings are set by default on the headphones (double on the right headphone - switching the track, on the left - turning on the noise reduction), to change the settings and control the noise reduction level - download the Ai Life application, connect the headphones and enjoy. The microphone works fine. Shumodav works well, but considering the form factor, it does not completely cut off all the noise. The connection is kept stable, does not fall off (thanks to the new chip and Bluetooth version 5.1). I definitely recommend buying.

Advantages: Great sound, good noise reduction, elegant style. Better bass than AirPods 2

Disadvantages: The case is easily scratched, but this problem can be fixed by purchasing a case

Comment: A great option for people who have a Huawei or Honor smartphone (since all functions work only under their OS)

Advantages: Keep a charge for a long time, sound quality, convenience, design

Disadvantages: After more than six months of operation, the lid "walks" a little here and there (apparently the mount has loosened a little), in practice this does not affect anything, just a small aesthetic flaw.

Comment: Stylish comfortable cool headphones

Advantages: - color (I have black ones) - noise reduction, for earbuds, quite to myself - the case is comfortable (it is convenient for me personally to get my ears out of the case) - sound - microphone - understandable application

Disadvantages: - very easily soiled black case, you will have to take a cover - I would like to program more actions on the sensor, and so only one per ear - the cost is approximately equal to an apple product

Comment: I will periodically update the review. 01/28/2020 - bought, kicks. I have JBL overheads, JBL wired plugs, and Honor wired ones. But at work (office + traveling to clients) walking in invoices ... is frankly absurd, and with a wire it is inconvenient and also such a sight to see. Wireless earplugs for work are also not an option, since I need to hear the world around me. Previous versions of FreeBuds were at first plugs, then they did not hold a charge and the "leg" was fat. I tried these on - I like everything. The charge is said to hold better (we'll check). There are no complaints yet. There is a standard, for Bluetooth ears, disease - buggy near power lines. I don’t live near power lines (and I don’t advise you), so these are rare problems that plague any Bluetooth headset. 01/29/2020 - I have EMUI 9, maybe because of this, the music is not paused when I take out the earphone. Moreover, if you take out both ears and put them in the case, then, even after closing, the music plays for a couple of seconds. 05/06/2020 - I still use these headphones and there are no complaints (by the way, the review was blocked for some reason, so I will not add more). I have updated EMUI to 10 and now the playback is paused when I pull out one of the headphones (or pull out the only one in my ear). There is really no sound insulation here, since these are earbuds, but that's exactly what I needed. For isolation, I have other manufacturer's wireless false ears.

Advantages: Sound. I have never seen such good sound in any True Wireless in-ear headphones. It is stupid to compare with wired for the same price and with plugs. These headphones can be considered a complete headset that can be worn all day and your ears will not get tired. The charge of the case and the headphones themselves lasts for a long time. With always on music, the headphone charge lasts almost 4 hours. The case itself is enough for about 4-5 recharges. Fast charging from the case. Convenience. They are very comfortable in the ears and are practically not felt, but there is no fear that they will fall out, they lie confidently. I jumped, and ran in them, and tumbled, the headphones remained in place) Noise reduction. Here it is and should not be compared to plugs. Not all sounds are cut off, namely noises. That is, the noise of the stove / wheels in the car, the noise of passing cars (noise! ​​If someone honks, you will hear it) Noise when riding in a bus, subway. Compound. Before that I used xiaomi and Samsung headphones. In these headphones, the connection is stable, without interruptions, allowing you to move a long distance from the phone. When watching videos on YouTube, they do not cause discomfort, the sound matches the "facial expressions" of the mouth. In games, too, the sound is instant.

Disadvantages: Headphone animation and play / pause when taking out only for devices on EMUI 10. After 3.5 months of use, the case was covered with scratches. If you look closely, you can clearly see them. Assuming this moment, I took headphones in white. In black, it will most likely be even more noticeable. But this nuance can be solved by purchasing a protective case.

Comment: You could add more taps, but in principle, there are enough. They work quickly. I think these headphones are the best in-ear headphones on the market, at least in terms of sound (for Android devices) Huawei has made really high-quality and comfortable headphones. Perhaps the price is high, but looking at the cost of AirPods, the purchase doubts disappear.

Advantages: Sound quality - the picture is very balanced, this is not beats with twisted bass, and not cheap rattling ears with high highs. Balanced, just pleasant sound. Not "wow", but better airpods 2. You can listen without an equalizer. The presence of active noise cancellation - yes, it is impossible to make noise cancellation in the earbuds that removes all the noise. You can't put them in your ears and sleep on the plane in silence without music. But when the noise is turned on, the hum in the subway and the plane is reduced to such a level that speech from podcasts and films becomes clearly audible.

Disadvantages: Auto-pause trimmed at the software level when pulling out of the ear - there is a sensor, there is a possibility, but it will work only with Emui 10. No instructions for setting up noise reduction. The application has only a "round", and what it does - guess for yourself) People write that with different updates, its functionality also changes. At one time it was an indicator of the direction of the noise source, on the current firmware it is more like a volume control for the antiphase signal.

Comment: If you, like me at one time, are looking for tws earbuds for android and hesitate between Xiaomi Airdots 2 pro and Huawei Freebuds 3 - take Huawei, infa weaving (I first took Xiaomi, then I sold and took Freebuds - heaven and earth).
