I have Huawei Freebuds Pro 3, by far the best earbuds for voice calls ( only one that you can use going 130 km/h on highway and have a regular call - not even apple is close)..
Airpods and Airpods pro are so over rated, they have terrible mics for calls. These out of all I've tested so far are the best allrounder earbuds if I factor in features, call quality, ANC, factory tune and sound reproduction. I'm super impressed, the downside, pricey and that L2HC codec is hard on the battery.
Based on what you've shown so far I can't see much of a difference compared to the free pros 3. Do you happen to have the 3 so that you can do a side-by-side test
Great review! I’d appreciate it if you could clarify a couple of things: 1. Does it have a Speak-to-Chat feature that pauses music and activates transparency mode when you speak? 2. What Huawei-specific features are unavailable on non-Huawei devices?
Hi, So 1. Don't think it has that. Only the wear sensor if you take them out it will pause. 2. Testing with my S24 Ultra it seems you need the AI life app for the features like Special Audio and high bitrate mode. If you use an Apple then you wont have those features.
Oh defiantly these I think. I had the previous XM4 model and unless something changed massively these for me are better. If I can get the wf-1000xm5 I would compare them.
Yes. And especially with the foam tips on and not the silicone ones. ANC on these is very good if you set it to the max, tested in training doing 290+ km/h and an Airbus A380-800. For those types of transport noise they are really good. But still can't block out screaming babies on 8 hour flights 100% unfortunately! :D
@@TechtabletsThanks for quick response, I will try them when they hit amazon. I like app2 for ANC and comfort but everything else sucks for android user.
Did you do the sound test with Huawei phone or another android phone?? I heard the mic and sound quality are better with huawei latest phones!! And please compare the sound and mic quality with Huawei freebud 3 pro🙏
Glad you asked, so I used them with my S24 Ultra as my second paired device and they sound amazing still. You don't need a Huawei phone to get great sound.
Another pro by the way is that the transmitter case also allows you to use the mics at the same time but no custom eq (con). U also get high res playback via the case 👍
Awesome review, I have de first generation and the battery is quite deteriorated for 4 years of use I hope they go on a sale or as a gift in other product purchase to buy them.
I've had the Freebuds Pro 3 and they are in my opinion the best earbuds checking all the boxes. (the freebuds pro 2 were also almost perfect) I got a refund for them because of battery issues but I ended up getting the PixelBuds Pro 2 since I want something more future proof. I think they have not improved a lot with the Freebuds Pro 4 and the black and gold design is also not my thing. But thanks for the video.
Hola que tal el sonido espacial y los gestos están disponibles con otra marca de como samsung o solo con huawei? Y estos son mejores que los buds 3 pro de samsung? Saludos
is the ANC in this comparable to Bose Quietcomfort ultra buds?

@@Techtabletsa shame you couldn't test these against the free buds Pro 3.

I don't have them sorry.

Νice presentation spatial audio its because you have got a huawei device or is it from Huawei freebuds 4 pro themselves?
AI Life app is required to turn it on. S24 without the Ai Life app not working. You don't need a Huawei phone it.
@@Techtabletsde verdad? Tengo los pro 3 y no me sale el audio espacial pero ví que los que tienen Huawei si lo tienen para activar desde la app
hello chris, how would you compare this earphones to the sony wf-1000xm5 , which one is better? thanks
Oh defiantly these I think. I had the previous XM4 model and unless something changed massively these for me are better. If I can get the wf-1000xm5 I would compare them.
I have the freebuds pro 1, 2, and 3. Yes that's how good they're to me.
Me too ;) When 4 is available - guess what - they're mine XD
Tell us please when do they go on sale in North America?
Sorry I don't have that info. You might have to import them to the US.
@Techtablets happy to buy from you if you want to sell
I don't sorry they need to be returned to Huawei.
Any Idea when they will be available in european shops?
But are they better than airpods pro 2? (i talking about ANC)
Yes. And especially with the foam tips on and not the silicone ones. ANC on these is very good if you set it to the max, tested in training doing 290+ km/h and an Airbus A380-800.

@@TechtabletsThanks for quick response, I will try them when they hit amazon. I like app2 for ANC and comfort but everything else sucks for android user.
Thanks for the video, the ANC seems really great! Any idea of MSRP? In Europe perhaps? :)
Did you do the sound test with Huawei phone or another android phone?? I heard the mic and sound quality are better with huawei latest phones!! And please compare the sound and mic quality with Huawei freebud 3 pro🙏
Thanks for posting this video.
You're welcome. Thanks for the comment!
Is this could use as an hearing aid?
Yes there is a mode for that to bring in ambient sound. But it only boosts it a little not hearing aid levels which would be much higher.
In my country, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and this Huawei have almost the same price. which one would be better for me to buy? I have an S23 Plus
I think these are better than the Buds 2 Pro, but as a Galaxy users you might want to stick with Sammy?
do you have any information when they came out globally or in europe?
Hi, Q1 2025. I don't have exact dates at all but it should soon.
ı have pro 3. is it worth to update ?
Do de still have wireless charging?
Yes they do Qi standard
Will I get the same mic quality if I'm using an iPhone? If yes, I'm buying this now
You do
Do you have any idea how freebuds sounds with Zoom, Teams, Google meets, you know with these meeting apps?
@@zizou2i They are probably the best for calls. Even the Freebuds Pro 3 are.
How do they sound when you use a non-huawei phone?
Glad you asked, so I used them with my S24 Ultra as my second paired device and they sound amazing still. You don't need a Huawei phone to get great sound.
@Techtablets thank for your answer, i have and iphone and a galaxy a55
You're welcome.
Better than pro 3? Worth the upgrade?
Yes but I think only if you need that improved call Josie cancelling
Sound quality: Oneplus buds 3 pro
Technics az80
Devialet gemini 2
Huawei freebuds pro 4?
Or something else?
Technics EAH-AZ80
Another pro by the way is that the transmitter case also allows you to use the mics at the same time but no custom eq (con). U also get high res playback via the case 👍
I believe so I will test it out.
Very nice ❤
How much they are?
170-190 depends where you look.
Awesome review, I have de first generation and the battery is quite deteriorated for 4 years of use I hope they go on a sale or as a gift in other product purchase to buy them.
4 years and such tiny batteries it's normal especially if you use them a lot.
@Techtablets yes indeed
Huawei for the best ❤
They do make great products 😃
100 dB noise cancelation in this form factor is unheard of!!!
Thank you Chris for another great review
It sure is and sets the bar 100% It really surprised me with just how good it is. I could have a jack hammer next to me and still handle calls.
Now i bought huawei freebuds pro 3 -- amazing calling experience & premium look❤️ ---- for music not the best ( not using huawei mobile)
Those are very good, well the Pro 4 is a step up for music quality and then that call noise canceling just blew me away with how good it is.
@Techtablets what about the sound quality in other mobiles
Been using them with my S24 Ultra very good.
@@Techtablets wow... So glad to hear from you...im a huawei fan 😍
I have been since the Mate 20 series

The Freebuds 3 Pro are great in-ears these are more refined and not really enough to upgrade from the Pro 3.

Pff... I bought the Freebuds 3 Pro in october 😑
Next Videos 🙏🙂👍
✅Honor Magic 7 RSR Porsche Design VS Huawei Mate 70 RS Ultimate Design 🤤😁
✅Honor 300 Ultra VS Huawei Nova 13 Pro 🤤😁
I was impressed, until I saw the price.
First
So quick!!!
Bro these are too expensive, nobody paying $220 for these!!!!!🙄
Well they are cheaper than many premium in-ears like the wf-1000xm5.
The airpods pro were 250 at launch how are these expensive lol
There is a budget model called Huawei FreeBuds SE, research it
Umm it doesn't seem like much of an improvement over the pro 3
There are a few improvements over the Pro 3, but if you already have those then maybe wait for the Pro 5
How much are those babies
