Huaweis onto something here!
Not with the FreeArc, though.
Music has an impressive soundstage, sounds delicately tuned and maintains bristling energy.
Evidence of how easily-bendable the hook is.
The best compliment I can give to Huawei is that I often forgot I was listening to open-ears.
OK so great-sounding, just slightly annoying to set up?
Yes, but we’re missing the big draw.
But purely from a sonic perspective, these are an absolute steal at the price.
So Huawei has put out a really tempting option here.
Firstly, the battery life isnt amazing.
Evidence of how easily-bendable the hook is.
Im not entirely convinced that the process is worth it either.
you might also make your own, which gives you access to a 10-band equalizer.
ANC would be a blessing on these buds.

Huawei FreeArc: Should I buy?
If you only use earbuds in noisy environments, you might not appreciate these buds.
Mostly I listened to music on Spotify but also tested podcasts, games and TV shows.
