Huawei Freebuds 3i

The follow-up to the FreeBuds 3, the 3i have a closed- instead of open design. There's active noise cancelling and a lower price, so what's not to like?

Huawei FreeBuds 3i review

AirPods Pro without the Apple price tag?

ANC is impressive ; Seamless pairing and auto-pause ; Light enough to wear all day

Sound quality isn’t superlative ; Average battery life ; Fit doesn’t always feel secure

More than imitation AirPods, Huawei’s lookalike buds offer impressive noise-cancelling in an affordable wireless package

Huawei Freebuds 3i Review: Feature-packed, ANC-capable Budget TWS Earbuds - UNBOX PH

With excellent fit, good active noise cancellation performance and better price tag than their Freebuds 3, the Huawei Freebuds 3i is a solid buy.

The new design allows for a more secure fit ; Better ANC performance ; Good sound quality ; Good price ; Good battery life

Connectivity issues with PCs and laptops ; ANC’s performance in high wind is sub-par

Huawei FreeBuds 3i review: Slim, affordable earbuds with decent sound

Our Huawei FreeBuds 3i review looks at a pair of true wireless earbuds with active noise and call cancellation, and up to 14 1/2 hours of playback.

Compact, slim design ; Decent sound ; Active noise cancellation ; Relatively affordably priced

Mediocre battery life ; Can't control volume with earbuds

Huawei FreeBuds 3i review

We test the new Huawei FreeBuds 3i with active noise cancellation for design fit, audio quality and battery life.

Good value for the price; Good call and sound quality; Simplified touch navigation; Fast charging

Weak battery life; Bulky and cumbersome case without wireless charging; Gimmicky ANC; Some connection drops

Huawei FreeBuds 3i True Wireless Earphones Review

The Huawei FreeBuds 3i features active noise cancellation and app support.

While we've reviewed some impressive options in the true wireless market priced under Rs. 10,000 over the past few months, the Huawei FreeBuds 3i is the first with active noise cancellation. Even though the sound quality and codec support doesn't match...

Huawei Freebuds 3i Review: Effective ANC Makes All The Difference

Huawei Freebuds 3i comes equipped with Active Noise cancellation with crystal clear voice quality and high fidelity music clarity.

Effective Active Noise Cancellation ; Excellent Clarity Over Voice Calls ; Secure In-ear Fit ; Sturdy Design

Bass Delivery Could Have Been Better ; Average Battery Life ; Pop-Open & Wearing Detection Only Works with Huawei/Honor Devices ; No Volume Controls On Earbuds

The Freebuds 3i comes across as a good option for someone looking for an ANC-equipped mid-range TWS earbuds. All other features and performance parameters are pretty basic and can be found on even lower-priced TWS earbuds. You should definitely buy the...

Huawei FreeBuds 3i review: the superior option

The FreeBuds 3i are almost identical to the cheaper models from Honor. However, they performed better in our earbuds review.

Seals in audio better than its predecessor ; Good audio quality at this price point ; Transparency mode ; IPX4 protection

Wind-prone ANC ; Disjointed design ; iOS app unavailable

I felt that Huawei's change to the in-ear concept pays off. Thanks to the silicone attachments, the FreeBuds 3i passively isolate external noise better than ever, while offering an easy yet secure listening experience. The ANC anti-sound technology...
