Huawei headphones priced at 1,499! Huawei FreeBuds Pro3 experience: excellent sound quality, rough design

Hello, how are you? I am the original huh, click on the attention, more exciting content waiting for you!

Huawei continues to expand its ecosystem, with its wearables and audio products performing particularly well. The Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3, the latest version of Huawei's flagship headphones, is getting a lot of attention in the market.

-

Not only do these headphones have a unique look, superior sound quality, and top-notch noise cancellation, but they also support a number of useful features such as high-resolution audio as well as multi-point connectivity. There are still some details that need to be further refined, such as the design and color options, but overall, the Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3 is undoubtedly a solid pair of headphones with solid performance. I'll be exploring them in depth, so let's take a look.

Huawei FreeBuds Pro3: Design and Color Options

Designing a pair of headphones these days is not an easy task. With so many designs out there, it's hard not to look innovative. Huawei has made a great fashion statement with the FreeBuds 5 model and its teardrop shaped design.

-

And the Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3 follows in the footsteps of its predecessor with the same sculpted design and short stem.

The Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3 headphones are made of shiny, high-gloss plastic, which may not be everyone's cup of tea. Honestly, these shiny visuals give a first impression of a not-so-expensive product.

-

But as they say, a lover's eye is a lover's eye, so I wouldn't pay too much attention to that. What Huawei could have done with the Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3 is offer more color options; there are only three of them, and when you consider that Ceramic White and Silver Frost are your usual whites and grays, there's also a cooler color: green.

Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3: Fit and Feel

The Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3 headphones come in four different earbud sizes: XS, S, M, and L. You'll most likely need all of these sizes, as the sculpted design doesn't fit every ear.

-

I need to wear L size earbuds to keep the headphones from falling out of my ears. There is a fit test inside the app and I recommend you complete it for optimal fit.

There's still a small issue with the fit of the Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3. When you place the headphones in your ears, the stem sits on the opposite ear screen (the small cartilage that protrudes from the lower part of the ear). This makes it very difficult to pinch the stem with two fingers or perform any gesture without disturbing the bud's position.

-

Another issue is that the streamlined and sculpted design of the headset itself doesn't allow for much contact with the topology around the ear canal.

Basically, these buds are held in place by silicone tips most of the time, which isn't perfect. On the plus side, each headset weighs 5.8 grams, so you'll almost forget you're wearing them after a few minutes.

Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3: Pairing

Pairing was a breeze. I know I've complained in the past about the app library and the need to install the AI Life app. Things have improved; you can set up these headsets in seconds. Simply scan the QR code or download the companion software from the app market.

-

If you have a Huawei phone with Hongmeng OS, you get the same experience as using an iPhone with AirPods; the phone recognizes the headphones when they're near.

Not many people will probably use this, but either way, there's no problem pairing the FreeBuds Pro 3 with an iPhone or Android device.

Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3: Touch Gestures

Most touch gestures involve squeezing the stem with two fingers. There is a tutorial available that teaches you how to perform this action, which in my opinion is essential as it takes quite a bit of squeezing to recognize these gestures.

-

At one point, I picked the buds, looking for a hidden physical button (maybe there is one; I'm still not sure; it makes a clicking sound when you squeeze the stem, but whether it's an analog or a real physical sound) button, it's hard to tell).

Here are all the gestures you can perform with the FreeBuds Pro 3: pinch once - answer or end a call, or play or pause a song if you're listening to music; pinch twice - reject call/next song; pinch three times - - previous song; pinch - noise control; swipe up or down - volume control

-

The only customizable option is the "pinch" option. You can set one of the headsets to wake up your favorite voice assistant with this gesture. Overall, I didn't end up using the gestures too much due to some looseness and the force required to perform these pinches.

Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3: Noise Cancellation (ANC)

Huawei says that the FreeBuds Pro 3 ANC capability has been improved over its predecessor by 50%.In fact, we're talking about headphones, but they can only do so much. The part of the ear canal around the ear is exposed and transmits sound inside; that's it.

-

That said, all things considered, the Super Noise Cancellation setting is pretty good for headphones. It also subjectively improves sound quality. You can pinch cycle through the main ANC modes: on, off, and sense.

Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3: Sound Quality

The Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3 are one of the best sounding headphones I've ever tested. Even at default sound settings, these headphones produce detailed and rich sound that I can only describe as HD.

-

The EQ presets are all very useful and the option to customize the presets using the 10 band EQ is pure gold. Listening to music through these headphones is an enjoyable experience. Clarity is excellent and everything is well balanced - not harsh, not dull, great.

Hard rock and heavy metal songs sound great too; it has plenty of volume. If you like R&B, drum and bass, or other bass-heavy music genres, then you're in for a treat here. With an optimal fit, these headphones sound very bassy.

-

I tried a few genres that weren't mine: pop, folk, disco, and electronica, and all in all, the FreeBuds Pro 3 easily solved all the problems I encountered. The call quality on these headphones is also great; the other person had no idea I was using the headphones, which speaks volumes.

Huawei says that thanks to neural network algorithms and a large number of microphones, its PireVoice 2.0 system picks up sound 2.5 times better. Overly technical bells and whistles aside, call quality is excellent.

Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3: Battery Life and Charging

In terms of battery life, the FreeBuds Pro 3 headphones are a bit short. Listening to music at medium volume with ANC on for 2 hours and 20 hours drained the 50%'s battery, and I ended up turning the headphones off after 4 hours and 30 hours.

-

Huawei's own tests show 6.5 hours of use on a single charge with ANC off, which is achievable in my opinion, but still not great.

The charging case charges the headphones from 0% to 100% in about an hour, which takes about 30% of power. This means that if you fully charge all of your devices, you can charge them four times, or listen for about 18-20 hours with the ANC on. This is a far cry from the 31 hours mentioned, but if you turn off the ANC, you may be able to extend that to 24 hours.

Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3: Summary

Time for the final verdict! Should you buy the Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3? If you value great sound quality and want impeccable call quality for not much money (priced at $1,499), then the answer is yes. However, there are a few more things to consider.

-

The fit isn't perfect, and you can save yourself some trouble if you have a chance to try it out before you buy. The touch controls require a lot of power and can get tiresome quickly.

Battery life is poor; you'll end up charging these headphones a lot, especially when using the ANC.
