Credit where credits due, Huawei has nailed a few other areas that other earbuds-makers struggle with.
Plus, the on-bud controls are easy to use, with a simple pinch gesture toggling different functions.
That price roughly matches that for last years FreeBuds Pro 2.
One thing stands out right away because unlike some other Huawei gadgets, these are available in the US.
Good luck finding a Huawei phone to pair them with, though!
Itll save you about 10%, or maybe more during sales times.
Its surprising how empty a busy office floor can feel when youre listening to these things!
The app offers loads of different modes.
I never stopped being impressed with just how great the FreeBuds were at removing background sound.
Two thumbs up for this one feature.
Its pretty barebones, save for the LED light indicator and the USB-C charging port.
The buds themselves are nice and light.
The charging case has no IP protection.
But its all for nothing, as the sound quality just isn’t good.
Instruments were blended together like a fruit smoothie, sapping the energy or pizazz from music.
I know that ifWaterloodoesnt spark joy, the earbuds are doing something wrong.
I cant say, but it makes Huaweis websites talk of a triple adaptive EQ seem like meaningless noise.
Maybe the buds should cancel that, too.
That is, except for the noise cancellation.
Those plentiful affordable rivals also have better sound quality, or at least play music with more personality.
So if all you care about is noise cancellation youliterallydont mind anything else these will justify their price.
Otherwise, its hard to recommend them for their full retail price.
Should I buy the Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3?
I’ve also tested plenty of earbuds, including some of the competitors mentioned above.
