I just purchased a pair in black, great sound, actually some of the best I've heard for this form factor, clear and with awesome bass, I use the EQ on my phone it's great, also the touch controls are very responsive, work a lot better than several others I've had, I only wish that the app would allow for a battery notification to appear or a widget showing this, but yeah, for the price, this feels like quality.

Hey, Huawei Freebuds SE 2. I have relatively small ears and ear canal. They fit just a tad worse than original earpods. So if earpods fit you, these will too. The sound is a bit dark for my taste out of the box, but if you download the app and change EQ to bright, it gets much better. The original EQ quite clearly overcompensates the lack of seal.

HUAWEI freebuds se 2. They were like $35 and last 10 hours of use or 24 or more hours of no use. No reason for me to spend all the extra money on AirPods. Charge to full in 20 minutes or so.

Hey guys, I have been on a search for earbuds that fit like gen 1/2 airpods. Idk why but they fit my ears perfectly, it feels like I have nothing in my ear, all other earbuds annoy me after a while. So far I have tried, airpods 4, soundpeats air 3 and HUAWEI FreeBuds SE 2. They are all decent but still don't have the same level of comfort. I am considering buying rep gen 2 airpods if I can't find anything, but I would prefer usb c. Cheers.

Darn. Me too! I thought I was the only one facing this problem! Not even in a noisy place. Even when a normal car passes beside me, the ENC just drowns my voice. Call quality is even worse than the free ones I got from Huawei! (Freebuds SE 2) Unfortunately, the period to send it back has already lapsed so I am talking to Earfun now to see my options. :( Edit: I have Air Pro 4+ by the way.

I am rocking HUAWEI FreeBuds SE 2, decent audio quality, good microphone (I was looking for high quality calls) and fair price (for me, at the time, in my country, I don't know for how much you can get them) But I think you are looking for a more premium item than those... dunno

!thanks I ended up buying this similar-looking Huawei SE 2 pair [https://www.amazon.co.uk/HUAWEI-Bluetooth-Headphones-Earphones-Compatible-White/dp/B0CDMB5ZQW](https://www.amazon.co.uk/HUAWEI-Bluetooth-Headphones-Earphones-Compatible-White/dp/B0CDMB5ZQW) It was cheaper, had better reviews and supposedly better battery life, but your answer is a close enough shout that I've accepted it... although Amazon has it listed is a frequently returned item which might be something to watch out for, first time I've seen that warning.
