Huawei - FreeBuds Pro 3

I didnt have a good call quality experience with linkbuds S, I currently have huawei freebuds pro 3 and i really like it’s call quality especially in windy conditions

Which model buds? I just got off a call with the Huawei freebuds... They can hear me great but I really like the way The Buds 3 pro have a. Nice ambiance / transparency during calls; feels like I'm not wearing buds while the freebuds I my eyes started to get watery because I can't hear myself talk (hope that makes sense)

Absolutely in love with Huawei freebuds pro 3, I think they have just released the pro 4. To me the sound quality is amazing but the call quality is unmatched and it's so good. Highly recommend

Huawei freebuds pro 3 are currently the best to exist, followed closely by the beats studio buds plus.

I've had Jabra Elite pro 7 because of the superb reviews about call quality and that was the worse experience every! So now i bought Huawei freebuds 3 pro and the call quality like the sound is insane.

If you could get the Huawei free buds pro 3 or 4 for cheap these are your best bet. Have been using them for calls and these bad boys cancel out all kinds of background noise.

I have spent 6 months finding this; best call quality is obejctively the "Huawei freebuds pro 3". Sirens, noise, motorbikes - they don't let ANYTHING through but your voice. Sound quality is fine if that matters (6.5/10). Battery is really great!! (9/10) Anc is good (8/10) Fit is great (8-9/10)

What devices are people using with Freebuds Pro 3 that say they have the best voice quality? When I tried them with my Win11 PC the mic quality seemed average, nothing special.

I have the Freebuds Pro 3 and have found that they work well in noisy environments, fwiw.

I have the AZ-100 coming soon...I am hoping they are the best as they have 10+ hours of runtime as well with ANC on. The Freebuds Pro 4 most likely have slightly better call quality but they also only have 4-5 hours of runtime, which is not very good. I had all the major earbuds in the past 3-4 years and by far the best call quality was (and still is as I haven't seen any comparison yet) the Huawei Freebuds Pro 3. I am sure the 4 is better...but I haven't seen (or heard, for that matter) a comparison. There is a great channel on Youtube called The Weekend Gear Guide who has a great test. [https://www.youtube.com/@weekendgearguide/videos](https://www.youtube.com/@weekendgearguide/videos) I am hoping he will do a comparison soon with the Freebuds Pro 4, Technics AZ-100 and the Freebuds Pro 3, which are his (and everyone else's for that matter) current champion.

I have used both and my wife says the Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3 are the best. Plus they have "real" multipoint . With the Galaxy Buds3 Pro you need to be in the Samsung ecosystem, I.E. you can only switch between Samsung devices if you are logged into a Samsung account. The FreeBuds Pro 4 just came out as well, but they may be locked into the Huawei ecosystem...let's hope not. I am awaiting an Android review before I jump on those. For now the Freebuds Pro 3 are the best, but the battery life is pathetic at 3-4 hours.

The Huawei free buds pro 3 have the best call quality no doubt. They are a bit pricey but it's completely worth it. They block out almost all the noise in loud environments in my testing. I tested them in cafe's, city streets, and sometimes construction sites. They do a phenomenal job with call ENC

I second Huawei freebuds Pro 3s. Excellent microphone. I can make calls walking on a busy street without any issue at all. I use the with an S24 plus. I don't care about the battery much. When was the last time you kept your buds in for longer than 4 hours at a time? Even taking them out for 5 or 10 minutes to go use the bathroom adds a decent amount of charge back to them. I just keep the case sitting on a wireless charger on my desk and stick the buds in whenever I'm not using them. I have yet to run out of battery after a full year of use.

Second this. AirPods still hold up for Apple users and then calls, Huawei Freebuds Pro 3 known as the best by many reviewers. Issue is China stuff is hard to get directly but sellers on Amazon and EBay can get it shipped. I got mine on EBay but that was early on but now more sellers around so Amazon got it now.

Yes but unfortunately no one earbud set contains all of the good things. Best ANC = Bose QC Ultra Best sound = MTW4, Technics Az80/100, Pi8, Devialet Gemini 2 etc etc Best comfort = Bose QC Ultra or Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro imo Best mic and call quality = Galaxy Buds3 Pro imo. Some say Huawei pro 3 Best battery.. Most are 6hrs+ without anc and up to 6hrs with There are prob buds I've forgotten but I have tried a lot and my faves up to no have been the MTW4's. Not the best at everything but the best all round imo.

since my wife needs tws i plan to give her my fbp3 and buy fbp4 for myself. i'm leaning towards the PBP2 and after reading reviews/comments don't want to risk it. the mic for calls on the fbp3 is really impressive and consistent using calls, video calls from telegram, fb messenger and i dont't wanna to risk having lesser or worst performance. hopefully there's some improvements on the ANC and transparency on the fbp4

i had the elite 10 last June with the fbp3. the fit was no problem on both. i sold the elite 10 because for me the sq of the fbp3 is much more better since it uses planars and i prefer the sound. the difference in the calls back then was that there's some background noise on the elite 10 but voice was clear and my wife didn't complain. the fbp3 then she was impressed no background noise.. do background noise like talking people mess up the az100s noise cancelling from calls? this happened to me on the gpbp3 lol

> Hello. Just curious if the buds work with other noises besides wind. Yes, these earbuds are almost supernatural at figuring out the difference between noise and signal, and the noise-reduction is great. > I'm usually iny car and the kids are loud.. will these block their noise? Separate topic, but if "in the car" means driving, I think it's both illegal and unsafe to drive with earbuds in, especially if you are using them to block out "background" noise. It's important to be able to hear as well as see, when operating a couple tons of metal moving at extremely destructive speeds.

Thanks for posting this! For anyone else following, here is the direct link to the comparison of various earbuds in a windy environment: https://youtu.be/d8z4mGaPpco?t=377 And here is the direct link to the earlier comparison in wind, which includes the airpod pro 2, which I think a lot of people will be interested in: https://youtu.be/m7BuTMtWxd8?t=405 TBH, I am hearing intelligibility problems in all of the examples, specifically with the wind-noise test. The Huawei seems to hold up very well in terms of sounding true to this particular speaker's voice, but I'm not sure it's the "hands-down" winner in terms of overall speech intelligibility, in a windy environment. They all seem to round off consonants and either have echoey or muffled artifacts, and the narrator seems to have a somewhat distinctive voice that I think the Sony Linkbuds 3 seem to make the easiest to understand, if not the most natural-sounding. But this is a super-helpful comparison, and the first I have found that specifically compares loud windy environments. Thanks again!

Huawei freebuds pro 3.

Thanks for the recommendation I am now the owner of a pair of freebuds pro 3 And wow I am stunned given the price

this is so helpful. been searching for best earbuds for calls and this made me decide. i just hit buy now

Any updates? Thinking to get it. I have a Pixel 9 and the Watch... But I'm happy with the Huawei Freebuds Pro 3

It's been a week since i received my free buds pro 4 and i completely agree on that. I had airpods pro 2 before however mic & call quality was really terrible and switched to free buds pro 3 after coming to the conclusion that It was the best earbuds to work outside in a cafe etc. Even FB3 was stellar compared to airpods. I preordered the fbp4 and It surprised me even after switching from FB3. Huawei became the one that puts the grin on my face. Sound quality is just incredible. Only earbuds made me this excited before was the Sennheiser. Now Huawei became my next Sennheiser. Being able to attend to work meetings from a cafe regardless of the noise is awesome.

This gets asked probably 3-4 times per week - easy to find answers in the search. If you're using Android, Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3 and Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are the better options due to using a mixture of bone conduction mics for voice and MEMS mics for noise reduction. Unfortunately this incurs cost over using just MEMS mics, which is why every other cheaper set is simply balancing environmental noise reduction with not muffling your voice to the point you're incoherent, and thus falling short of those aforementioned models. If you're using iOS, then go for Airpods (admittedly I've only tested the Airpod 4 ANC). IOS features noise reduction processing on the device itself that makes them outstanding when used with an Apple phone, and completely ordinary on Android.

Why do you think 'everybody is bought off'? Manufacturers might be paying the Gamesky's of this world, with their 100k+ subscribers, but why are they going to pay the little guys for exposure to maybe 5-10k additional views, where are least 30% of viewers will stop watching after 30s, of which 0.5-1% will maybe buy the item. And if everyone is being paid by everyone then nobody is going to say anything bad about anything! Just think about it. And anyway, why listen to these 'trust me bro' influencer type reviewers when there are reputable ones that include long call samples in different environments and leave you to make your own mind up what is acceptable to you? The general consensus from the many occasions this has been asked before haa settled on Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3 and Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. Both brands use bone conduction voice mics as opposed to a whole array of MEMS mics. This results in your own voice separating from the environmental noise a little better than the others which tend to just use MEMS mics exclusively.

FWIW I just got the Huawei freebuds pro 3 and in the day of use the people OI speak to regularly have been really impressed saying my voice is loud and clear and no background annoyances for them. I wore them whilst driving and they didn't know I was in a car, went round the supermarket, they didn't realise and took all the rubbish out (something that normally bothers my gf but she didn't hear any of the usual bashing and crashing). Comfort-wise, seem pretty fine for now but I don't use them for really long stints, no more than an hour.

Jabra's pretty good, esp their top end buds which were on deep discount last I check but do beware that they're discontinuing their consumer line, on buds atleast. If I calls are my prime raison d'etre, I'd get the Huawei Freebuds 3 pro. Best mics on the market IMO

If you want to prioritize voice isolation for calls, the Huawei Freebuds Pro 4 (and 3 which are known to be pretty close to the 4s in voice isolation) are class leading, period. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2Tyw8TCq9U (I own several of the major flagships that would be competitive here, the Huawei Freebuds Pro 4, Apple Airpods Pro 2, AZ100, Galaxy Buds2 Pro, Galaxy Buds3 Pro, and EPOS Adept E1) And see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUgPW7MRfS8 These have stems, but the stem design tends to have better voice isolation because it can position the mic closer and towards your mouth.

You'll want to check out these two channels that focus on voice quality and voice isolation (and not just ANC): * Weekend Gear Guide https://youtu.be/rUgPW7MRfS8?t=404 * Aaron X Loud and Wireless https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uee8M8jEpV4 In short, if money is no object, (and I've tested several high end earbuds myself including the JBL Tour Pro 3, Galaxy Buds Pro 2 and 3, AZ100, ADAPT E1) I think the best earbuds with noise rejection (wind and otherwise) are the Huawei Freebuds Pro 3 or Pro 4.

Hey have a listen to how significantly voice call quality is improved using Technic's new "Voice Focus AI" technology used on the Technics AZ100, vs the older "JustMyVoice" technology on the AZ80. [Technics AZ100 vs AZ80 vs HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 4 vs 3 | Best Call Quality 2025 Review](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wc5crDGVVc) Simply mind blowing on how good "Voice Focus AI" handled Loud Dynamic Noise and Windy conditions!

If the occlusion bothers you on your HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 3, then you will not like the AZ100 since it's a bit worse. And until Bose improves their AI to silence background noise in loud crowded environments, I would stay away from the QC Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen. So, it looks like the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro are the best balance for calls for you. I think for most other people, the side tone and occlusion experience would be more than acceptable on the Technics AZ100/80 and above on my ranking list, and they will only notice it if really paying attention and comparing to Samsung, Bose, and Apple.

I've reviewed the Technics AZ100/80, HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 4/3 and Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro, and while the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 4 (and 3) are the absolute best for mic voice call quality in any noise environment, the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro have better side tone balance and less occlusion. Here's my ranking of side tone (out of 10) and occlusion (out of 10) talking experience during phone calls: 1) Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Gen - 10 / 10 2) Bose QuietComfort - 9.5 / 9.5 3) Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro - 9 / 9 4) HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 4 & 3 - 8 / 8 5) Technics AZ100 & 80 - 7.5 / 7.5 7) NOTHING ear - 7 / 6 6) JBL Tour Pro 3 - 6 / 6 Cheers!

>What made you put Bose above Freebuds? side tone (out of 10) and less occlusion (out of 10) talking experience is better on the Bose. This is the feeling you get like you are wearing earplugs, or you plug your ears with your fingers, and when you start talking, you can hear your own voice echo in your head. With Bose QC Ultra Earbuds, during a phone call, there is less occlusion than on HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 3/4. And also you can control the side tone on Bose through the App so you can get a sense how loud you are talking.

Its not the best for call quality. Idk who started the rumor, but I have them and the person on the other side usually here a muffled blur. Do not buy this thing if calls are your priority. Sound quality is awesome for the price though.

100% agree! Freebuds pro 3 is the best all round earbuds I have come across in a long time. The fit, sound and call quality are absolutely top notch! Of course you have to download an apk app which some people may not be fine with. But if that is not an issue for you, no doubt they're the best. (Bought freebuds pro 3 after 2 months of extensive research)

Yes. And it's pretty good. Wouldn't say it's the best (Apple or Bose levels). But it's pretty decent.

No, Freebuds 5i, 6i, 3 pro, 4 pro,

Huawei freebuds pro 4. i am using freebuds pro 3 with my pixel 8 pro and utilising the full power Ldac 32 bit 990 kps

Huawei Freebuds Pro iteration is still the best TWS IMO—if we talk about price-to-performance ratio.

I don't know why no one suggested Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3/4 or FreeBuds Clip. If calls are the priority, the Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3/4 are the best choice.

I see it on the UK Amazon site and their own website. Where are you located? I also see it on US Amazon.

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.

The Sony LinkBuds S which are MFI-certified and are the only earbuds that fit perfectly in my ears. I’ve tried the normal Airpods, the AirPods Pro and Huawei FreeBuds Pro, but neither fit well. Every time I smiled, they would pop out and cause significant discomfort.

I'm glad my review helped you in a way, although it seems I have put you into more research now. Unfortunately, I'm not experienced with earbuds. I used to have Huawei Freebuds Pro, but the left bud's battery has really gone south. These cmf buds are actually somewhere around $70 in Ukraine. Could you tell me what country you are from, so that I can check your local prices and provide my suggestions?

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.

After trying Technics for two days, owning both nothing and Huawei freebuds, I say Huawei knocks it out of park when it comes to overall performance. My bias also from a place that I wanted really good call quality because I take a lot of calls when I'm on a call in central City, and they have been amazing. I take a call in a cafe full of people and crying kids and the other person can't hear a thing and music quality is not bad either. it's pretty good, and ANC is also much better than nothing here. although the fit is much better with nothing here, you don't even feel they are in your ears come on there that good

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
