Huawei has introduced the FreeBuds Neo — Huawei wireless in-ear earbuds with a miniature body, Bluetooth 6.0, and LDAC codec. According to the manufacturer, with a phone that supports LDAC, the earbuds work in LDAC HD mode, and Hi-Res audio 48 kHz/24 bit is declared for connection with Huawei devices. Inside are 11mm dynamic drivers, and adaptive noise cancellation reduces noise by up to 30 dB.
Friends, by tradition, if a news post gets 100 likes, I get the model in hand and make a review for you. And of course subscribe to the review — I will email you the moment it goes live on MyChooz.
The Huawei FreeBuds Neo’s standout feature is its miniature body. While it’s tough to tell from renders alone, they appear to be incredibly compact TWS earbuds. They certainly look interesting, and perhaps Apple’s tiny Macbook Neo started a new trend.
For sound, the FreeBuds Neo come equipped with Bluetooth 6.0 and the LDAC codec. They also support spatial audio with head-tracking. A dedicated game mode is included to enhance the audio experience during gameplay.
The earbuds boast IP55 protection against splashes and dust, according to Huawei, though this rating doesn’t apply to the charging case. Each earbud weighs just 4.8g. You can control playback and features using taps and swipes, with settings managed through the HUAWEI Audio Connect app on Android and iOS. The app also shows the last known location of your earbuds on a map if they get disconnected. If they’re nearby and still connected to your phone, you can trigger a sound alert from the app to help you find them.
Adaptive noise cancellation is handled by a third-generation audio chip. Multipoint connectivity is supported, allowing you to connect to two devices simultaneously and switch audio between them without needing to manually reconnect.
When it comes to battery life, each earbud has a 60 mAh battery, while the charging case holds a 460 mAh battery. Without noise cancellation, you can expect up to 10 hours of playback from the earbuds alone; with it enabled, that drops to 6.5 hours. When using the charging case, Huawei promises up to 40 hours of total playback without noise cancellation in standard SD mode, and up to 24 hours with it on. In the higher-quality HD mode, these figures are slightly lower: up to 33 hours and up to 22 hours, respectively. The case charges via USB-C.
Huawei’s product page doesn’t specify the price or the exact sales start date. Sales channels are also not listed, but the launch did occur in international markets. The FreeBuds Neo are available in four colors: Stellar Silver, Nebula Pink, Ice White, and Starry Black. Inside the box, you’ll find the earbuds, a charging case, four sets of ear tips, a quick start guide with safety information, and a warranty card.
Friends, write in the comments what you think of this new model and what you’d like to know in the review — I’ll do my best to answer everything.
What I’m looking to check out in the Huawei FreeBuds Neo review: Does the model’s main selling point, its miniature body, actually make a difference? And why was this model even released? Naturally, I’ll be comparing its sound to the benchmark for Huawei, the FreeBuds 4 Pro. I’ll also stack them up against the leaders in our ranking of the best wireless earbuds.
