Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2

Flagship in-ear TWS headphones from the Huawei FreeBuds family, which boast high-quality sound, Hi-Res Audio support, advanced Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and other tricks. They belong to the upper part of the middle price segment and are designed for demanding users who are looking for a quality alternative to wireless headphones from Apple, Samsung and other AAA brands.

Huawei wants to raise the quality bar for wireless headphones, so specialists from the French company Devialet, which manufactures premium acoustics, were responsible for the production of speakers and sound settings. At one time, cooperation with Leica allowed Huawei to achieve leadership in the camera phone market, so the same focus is planned with Devialet. Especially for Huawei, the French have developed hybrid dynamic-planar drivers with an unusual frequency spectrum for this class ranging from 14 to 48,000 Hz.

The adaptive noise reduction system is based on a combination of multiple microphones and advanced ANC algorithms that constantly pick up ambient noise and cancel it with the help of anti-phase. There are several noise reduction modes that depend on the surrounding background. In addition, Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2 is equipped with a whole galaxy of sensors and sensors to optimize user interaction: a bone conduction sensor, an infrared sensor, an accelerometer and a gyroscope are hidden in miniature capsules.

Plus, the manufacturer claims support for the LDAC hi-res audio codec, which is actively promoted by Sony. To connect to a smartphone, a wireless, energy-efficient Bluetooth 5.2 protocol with a 10-meter range is provided. The battery capacity of each earphone is 55 mAh, the charging case has 580 mAh. Battery life may vary depending on usage scenario and activation of optional features. The manufacturer promises 6 hours of music mode, or 4 hours of talk time with activated noise reduction. The charging case can extend the run time by 18 to 30 hours, providing up to 5 charge cycles.
