Are the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2 the best headphones on the market?
In collaboration with the leading Devialet
In a market of true wireless headphones which now has almost infinite options, HUAWEI comes to shout a thunderous presence with its new set of headphones. The reason for the FreeBuds Pro 2 , without a doubt its top achievement in the field of headphones. Before moving on to the headphones, a special mention must be made of HUAWEI’s collaboration with Devialet, one of the leading companies in the field of audio technology that produces very expensive products with excellent sound. In this case, she put her hand in the tuning of the headphones and some technologies.
First of all, the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2 come quite upgraded compared to their predecessor and promise strong and quality sound. The 11mm drivers offer 30% more bass than the previous ones. Their operating range exceeds human perception and ranges from 14Hz in the low and up to 48kHz in the high frequencies, offering a complete acoustic experience in the entire acoustic spectrum.
But beyond the hardware, their software offers real-time audio adjustment to your ears for optimal performance no matter what you’re listening to or how you’re wearing them. Through the AI Life app you can also choose different audio profiles developed in collaboration with Devialet. They support high-resolution LDAC codec and are certified by HWA and Hi-Res Audio Wireless, while the wireless audio transmission is fast and lag-free, with 990kbps.
All this technical stuff is fine, but what does it actually sound like? First the app tells you which is the right tip for your ear through a test of a few seconds. The right tip seals in properly, delivering perhaps the best bass you’ve heard in this type of headphone, while the highs and mids are crystal clear.
They also feature a powerful ANC noise canceling system with three microphones that you will find especially useful in environments with consistently low noise, such as the refrigerator, traffic, a coffee shop, etc. In case you are moving on the road, there is also an awareness function for increased awareness for your environment. Maximum noise cancellation performance is at 47dB. The ANC even “smartly” adapts according to the structure of the ear canal and environmental noise, offering different levels of ANC on the plane and different ones at home.
Speaking of noise cancellation, the headphones do a great job on calls as well. With a total of four microphones, they cancel out ambient sounds and thanks to a developed algorithm that has been trained with over 100 million voice samples, you hear your interlocutor crystal clear. In fact, they offer one of the best microphones you’ve ever come across, with your interlocutor hearing you crystal clear as if you were talking on the phone. Microphone performance continues to be very high even in windy environments.
A very useful feature is also the connection to two devices, which allows you for example to enjoy a movie on the tablet and when a call comes to your phone and you pick it up, the movie will pause, you can talk on the phone and when you close it to continue the movie without you doing anything at all.
In terms of battery Huawei promises 6.5 hours of playback (4 with ANC on) or 30 in total with the case, which charges with USB-C or wirelessly, even with the reverse wireless charging of your mobile. There is an IP54 certification which means they can withstand sweat or rain. Something that seemed very useful is the pinch on the stem of the headset for control, instead of a simple touch that can lead to mistakes when, for example, adjusting the position of the headset. With one pinch you accept a call or press pause on the movie or song, with two you select the next song or end the call, with a long press you select ANC or awareness, while dragging the finger on the metal ring increases and decreases the volume. Of course you can set the functions as you wish from the AI Life app which is available on iOS and Android.
The HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2 are offered in Silver Frost, Ceramic White and Silver Blue and at their price point they definitely stand out from the competition. In fact, with every purchase of FreeBuds Pro 2 from its official network of partners, HUAWEI gives HUAWEI BAND 7 as a gift.
