Huawei - FreeBuds Pro 1

I have tried the top model, not an expert or anything but I'm picky when it comes to sound. Coming from huawei freebuds pro (1st gen) I could notice a difference, more powerful cleaner sound, much better anc. Thought It couldn't be better. Watched reviews and decided to buy the az-100 and again noticed the difference. Not with anc though just cleaner, rucher sound. If I had to grade them I'd give freebuds a 6, nothing 8 and az100 a 9. Considering az 100 are top tier 300$ buds nothing ear are very close at half the price but they don't quite match the azs imo. Better price/performance for sure

For earbuds i only tried Huawei and they are great sound and battery life. Not so much on noise cancellation if nothing was playing. Tried both the free bud pro, and the clip

If you don't mind about noise cancelling get the Huawei Freeclips. If you want noise cancelling get the Huawei Freebuds Pro (2, 3 or 4, they are all good). I personally use the Freeclips for everything, they are the most comfy and sport friendly earbuds imo.

My Huawei Freebuds Pro just broke last week, they are around 3.5 years old. My theory is that the ANC mic broke, which caused it to compensate for a huge sound that didn't even exist, which caused the right driver to blow. Got a pair of Earfun Air Pro 4's a couple of days ago. They're great.

The touch controls are a bit finicky indeed. My old Freebuds Pro's were much easier: they can detect when you pinch the stem. I've been getting used to it though, I've had my Earfuns for a week or 2 now.

I’ve been using HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro since the first generation and recently upgraded to the FreeBuds Pro 4. Solid choice in terms of both sound quality and mic clarity, plus you can enable LDAC in the Bluetooth settings. I did give the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro a try, but the cabinet pressure feeling and weaker mic performance made me go back to HUAWEI.

Not an audiophile and I still noticed the difference between the Buds 3 Pro and Huawe's Freebuds Pro. Lent my Buds 3 Pro to an actual audiophile and he can confirm the quality rivals Sony's. Not saying they are better, just they are in top tier range. I had to switch from spotify to Deezer, then Tidal to fully exploit them, and boy they are good. ANC works fine for me, there are some sounds that pass through but nothing that 75% volume doesn't fix. Transparent mode is awesome. Mic is low for some reason during calls, but recording it is good, so assuming a software issue.

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
