Huawei - FreeBuds 3

I have the 3s, great for calls in noisy areas, my only complaint is the ocllusion and hearthrough during calls . How do you find the free buds 4 are in that sense? I find that the Samsung buds 3 pro are really good at that one they felt the most natural compared to the Huawei , one plus 3 , az100, jabras etc. That I have owned/used

Never had issues like that with the 3's, but the 4's come with foam tips as well as silicone and I have to say with the foam tips make the hear through less than on the 3's I remember on the 3's in loader environments I was pressing them in my ears.

If you want proper "works" earbuds be ready to shell out for a good price. People who buy budget brands don't understand they had to "cut back" on some aspect to justify their low prices. Mid range brands are a good sweetspot to wet your whistle but once you get a flagship product you understand WHY it has that. The best companies in my experience are the following in the flagship category: 1) Senheissers will forever be GOATed. 2) Sony is a VERY close second because they are literally pioneers in music! Everything from walkmans to Loseless audio compatible devices we see Sony never compromises on quality especially on its high end legends like the XM series. Mid Range companies are JBL and Anker that have the best tuning in their range. I have had their Freebuds 3 and Soundcore 4 pros and both are as good as the day I bought them. It's been years and their clarity is still as crisp today as they were the first time I paired them. Of course Sony and Senheisser blow them out of the water but good overall. Now budget brands like Earfun and Soundpeats are awesome too BUT their business model focuses on you Upgrading every year or so. Their buds aren't built to be long lasting because their undercut the market. They dominate the 100 dollars and below market hard which is why people are ok when their buds die in a year or so because the replacement won't set you back so hard and people like the dopamine hit from buying something "new" each year. But the more you use them the faster they wear out in my experience.

The best by far are the Huawei free buds 3 and 4. By far.

Huawei Freebuds 3 / 4 (there is no difference, might as well save a buck and go with the 3)

Even non-pro Huawei Freebuds are very good. Notice that app isn’t available in the PlayStore! It is available in the AppStore, but iOS version doesn’t support recent models like 7i.

For some reason my AZ 100 sound and call quality was really bad I returned them. I think a 80 had bone conduct mic but a 100 not. Huawei free buds use bone conduct mic and from what I've seen their call quality is top notch. Only downside they are slippery and fall off easy

Huawei freebuds line. No other alternative with ldac capability. Full customizable eq aswell. Best bang for your buck. Good Noise canceling aswell.

Goddamn, finally the excessive time, research and money I’ve sank into earbuds will serve someone else well. Huawei Freebuds. Active background noise cancelling for calls and call clarity blows everything else out of the water. I can be in a building with horns blaring, industrial mechanical room talking to tech support, I’ve even stuck my head out the window on the highway and somehow the person hears nothing but your voice. All the call quality and ANC listening features are as good as my Bose Quitecomforts were, but I use them for hands free calling all the time and got sick of people not being able to hear me. Huawei were game changers

It does, the ANC is as good as my AirPod pros were. The ANC in the Bose QCs is even better than both if you’re ONLY concerned with sound and ANC, but the call quality is so shitty I couldn’t even use them for phone calls, which is probably 50% of the reason I have earbuds
