HUAWEI has officially launched its latest audio wearable in the Philippines. The HUAWEI FreeBuds 6 open-fit earbuds offer the latest advancement in the company’s audio technology portfolio, boasting sophisticated engineering along with contemporary design aesthetics.
Advanced Audio Technology
The HUAWEI FreeBuds 6 features dual-driver true sound technology with its 11mm dual-magnetic driver powered by HUAWEI SOUND architecture. These earbuds utilize Bass Turbo 2.0 acoustic architecture to deliver enhanced bass response and clear high-frequency reproduction.
This marks HUAWEI’s first open-fit earbud model to support high-resolution lossless audio transmission up to 2.3Mbps, accommodating 48kHz/24-bit audio quality with L2HC 4.0 codec technology.
The device also uses a Separated Triple System Architecture, strategically positioning the acoustic system, control system, and battery systems in distinct sections. This configuration optimizes structural efficiency while enhancing overall performance across audio reproduction, device controls, and power management.
Communication Features
The HUAWEI FreeBuds 6 integrates a VPU bone conduction microphone within an independent cavity design for improved voice capture during calls. The system incorporates upgraded AI noise cancellation algorithms capable of filtering background noise up to 95dB and wind interference up to 8m/s. The earbuds support gesture-based call management, allowing users to accept calls with a head nod or decline with a head shake.
Connectivity performance extends to 110 square meters indoors, with outdoor music streaming range reaching 158 meters and call functionality maintaining clarity up to 150 meters from the paired device.
Design and Build Quality
The earbuds feature a water-droplet silhouette design, offeringg reduced size and weight compared to the previous FreeBuds 5 model. The shell also uses a UHF planar diaphragm driver with decorative elements, while multiple ear tip sizes ensure proper fit across different ear anatomies. The device has an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance.
Color options include Purple, White, and Black finishes, each featuring a metallic star-glow effect coating.
Battery Performance and Connectivity
The HUAWEI FreeBuds 6 provides up to 36 hours of total battery life with the charging case. Quick charging functionality delivers 2.5 hours of playback from a 5-minute charge session. The device also supports dual-device connectivity across iOS and Android platforms, with proximity pairing available for HUAWEI devices running EMUI 10.0 or later versions.
Additional features include Audio Sharing capability, enabling two pairs of HUAWEI FreeBuds to connect simultaneously to a single HUAWEI device for shared listening experiences.
