Huawei has announced two new audio products for the Indian market. The two products are the Huawei Freelace Bluetooth Earphones and Huawei Mini Speaker. Both products already launched in China months ago, though the latter is sold as the Nova Mini Bluetooth Speaker.
Huawei Freelace Bluetooth Headset
The Freelace Bluetooth Headset originally launched alongside the Huawei P30 series. It has a 9.2mm titanium-plated drivers. It connects via Bluetooth 5.0 but if you own a Huawei or Honor device, you can instantly connect it to your phone using Huawei’s HiPair Technology. All you have to do is connect it to your phone via the USB-port or a USB-Connector and the phone will recognize it. You can also charge the earphones this way when connected to your phone.
Huawei says just 5 minutes of charge will provide up to 4 hours of listening time. The Freelace Bluetooth Headset has a battery life of 18 hours. The earbuds also have what is called Hall Magnetic Sensors in the earbuds which will allow you to pause or resume playback when you attach them together. This also works for calls too. There is also Wind-Noise reduction which reduces ambient noise. The earphones also has an IPX5-rating.
Unlike in China where it is available in Graphite Black, Amber Sunrise, Emerald Green, and Moonlight Silver, the Freelace is only available in Black in India. It is priced at INR 4,999 (~$70) on Flipkart. Do check our reviews of the headset here and here.

It will shut disconnect itself after 5 minutes of no playback and automatically shut down after 30 minutes.
