Huawei FreeBuds 3 review

Android users rejoice, iPhone users avoid

When we first heard about the AirPo&#;, er, FreeBud 3s, we were quietly sceptical – noise-cancelling without an in-ear bud or over-ear fit? Surely not!

Huawei is clearly fearless when it comes to hardware though. While manufacturers like Apple and Google bide their time and launch new tech once it&#;s failed a few times first, we have to give the politically precarious tech giant credit – it innovates, hard.

The FreeBuds 3, Huawei&#;s third generation of AirPod rivals, are the world&#;s first active open-fit noise-cancelling earbuds.

Because of this they're generally less intrusive and more comfortable over longer periods of use, but they also don't isolate the outside noise as well and their bass isn't as focused.

    I'm one of those people that prefer open-fit earbuds putting convenience above fidelity, and found the Huawei FreeBuds 3 lovely to carry around in my ears. During my two week testing period I had them in my ears for multiple hours at a time and didn't experience any issues.

    At under 5g per earbud the FreeBuds 3 are

    The Freebuds 3 are Huawei’s third-gen true wireless earbuds and the world’s first open-fit versions to have active noise cancelling.

    Others, such as Sony’s WFXM3 and Apple’s AirPods Pro, use silicone råd for an airtight seal, and so aren’t an open design.
