I bought Huawei Freebies Pro 5, they are amazing! Build and sound (especially bass) quality 5*, better then b&w pi8. Easy to control by touch to by press
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.
