HUAWEI just launched the FreeBuds 3, the company’s latest true wireless earbuds in India, after it was introduced at the IFA last year. It has Kirin A1 chip with dual-mode Bluetooth 5.1 SoC with patented BT-UHD transmission protocol for 6.5Mbps transmission speed. It uses HUAWEI Isochronous Dual Channel transmission technology for low latency and low power consumption and 356 MHz audio processor for stable, fast Bluetooth connection, as well as an accurate audio and video synchronization. The chip can also eliminate the background noise during calls and enhance the voice simultaneously.
It features Dolphin Bionic Design fits in your ears for a more comfortable and stable wearing, and the Open-fit design is ergonomically engineered for maximum comfort. The earbuds have built-in bone voice sensor that can better pick up your voice through bone vibrations so that your voice will be enhanced accordingly to make it clear and stand-out during phone calls while the ambient noise has been reduced, says the company.
The Aerodynamic Mic Duct Design can suppress the wind passing by to reduce wind noise efficiently for clear calls even during a windy day or even cycling at 20 km/h. It has pop-up and pair features for EMUI 10 devices. The earbuds feature intuitive controls such as double tap the right to play / switch music, or the left to turn on / off ANC function. Playback pauses when taken off, and resumes once put back in.
It comes with symmetrically round charging case with USB Type-C charging and Qi wireless charging that lets you simply lay down the case on a wireless charging mat for quick wireless charging, or use HUAWEI smartphone for reverse charging.
