HUAWEI FreeBuds 4i - Wireless In-Ear Bluetooth Earphones with Comfortable Active Noise Cancellation, Fast Charging, Long Battery Life, Crystal Clear Sound Dual-Mic Earbuds, Ceramic White

*update* 29/09/21 last night I took my earbuds out of the charging pod that was plugged in and showing a green light and I realised my left earbud wasn’t working. I assumed I hadn’t put the earbud into the pod properly for charging so I put it back in to charge & saw that the earbuds are magnetic to the pod so it would be impossible to not charge. But I put it on charge again, all the same. After 12 hours, I took it out and it doesn’t work. This happened with my apple EarPods and I was really expecting HUAWEI to be better. I’m extremely disappointed in the quality. I purchased them on 08/09/21 and they didn’t even last a month! Now I have to go through the trouble and stress of returning it. Would I recommend now?No.I brought these as my apple beats products have been terrible (yes, I’m as shocked as you as I’m a big apple fan) so when I saw these I thought, why not? They are just under £60 and ive got nothing to lose.The noise cancellation and ‘awareness’ mode (by pressing down for 5 seconds on the long branch of the earphones) is remarkable! When my toddler starts a meltdown and screams, I flick onto noise cancellation and boom! Peace!!I have found the charge is a little dicey it doesn’t last 10 hours on a full charge. More like 5-6 hours. As I like to fall asleep and sleep listening to podcasts.I’m not sure if the headphones charge from the earphone holder so I have yet to discover that.Another thing I noticed is that with apple earphones you can alter the volume so low to a whisper whereas with these headphones you can’t. I like sound to be quite quiet when I’m meditating or falling asleep listening to podcasts/relaxing music. However, I’ve still managed to fall asleep with the lowest sound level of these headphones but it was a bit of a bug bear for me when I discovered this.Over all, I’ve been using these headphones for about 2 weeks now and I can definitely and 100% say I am truly happy with these headphones. They are comfortable and stay in place (if you eat with themOn they come out easily but that’s probably just my ear and swollen jaw bone causing that)I would highly recommend to anyone considering coming over from the dark side (apple products) to HUAWEI. I consider myself 50% apple and 50% HUAWEI.

Paid £60 for these back in 2021.ProsNoice canceling is quite goodBattery life was excellent and charging is quite fast tooGood quality materialWear detectionConsNothingBattery life now is not that good. They last about 8-10 hours max with case but I've had them for 3.5 years.Will definitely be buying the newest version of these when the time comes.

Pro'sHigh quality soundFit/comfortBattery lifeBuild qualityCon'sSketchy connectivity ( occasionally un-pairs / takes time to find device )No volume control on budsNot IP ratedThe value of these buds is so good that I can put up with its operational issues, it is maybe my phone as the buds work as expected with my surface book. The sound quality is excellent, I use Dolby Atmos and have set the equalizer to my taste, clear frequencies and deep bass.Calls are straightforward, tap to accept. You can also customise the tap functions in the Ai Life app which you need to updated the buds software and also gives you battery performance.All in all these are great but some ironing out the issues would be really good too.

I've always wanted a pair of wireless earbuds but have been put off by the price in the past. Saw these at a reasonable price on Amazon and decided to give them a try as I knew I could send them back if not impressed.Wow, they're really good. Bluetooth connectivity to my mobile was so easy, the stereo quality in listening to music was great, and was so impressed with the comfort in my ear. I was doubtful how they would stay in my ears but, despite trying to shake them free, they did not move! Also, noise cancellation is amazing!Early indications are that battery life pretty decent, enough for me to lay by the pool on holiday or walk the dog, so really happy so far.

I bought it on sale. Very good price. Nice quality as you can expect from Huawei. App very handy. Noise cancellation option available even with one bud in use which is not available with so many expensive buds. Very good build quality. Look expensive. A slight downside is the play time. It gives 5.30 hrs with noise cancellation OFF. With that ON it lasts 4 hrs. Overall satisfied. Definitely Recommend.

I bought these on a Good Friday deal. I have a pair of Boltune earbuds which work well and have a good sound, but the noise cancellation feature of these appealed. I was disappointed. The sound quality was no better than the considerably cheaper ones I had already and the volume was lower. But the main reason I sent them back was that I could hear no discernable difference when the noise cancellation was on than when it was off. They are nicely designed and very light to wear but overall less satisfactory that the pair I have already.

Needed new pods as my AirPods are slowly dying on me and they came swiftly. Noise quality is fab however the lid is suuuuper flimsy and you cannot set this up on an iPhone.iPhone users: if you have an iPhone you will not be able to find this and connect to your phone. After searching many forums the way you have to do it (and supposedly the only way currently bc Apple hate other products) is to connect it first to an android device, download the HUAWEI AI life app and download a new software to the pods to upgrade it to enable IOS Compatibility. Once upgraded you are then able to connect to any IOS device.This is what worked for me, it’s a bit of a faff but hope it helps!

Working well for 18 months now. Good for listening to the radio, and OK for music for the price. Could probably be clearer on calls sometimes. May upgrade for future ones now I can see the use cases.
