Earlier today, HUAWEI officially teased the FreeBuds Pro 2 through their official Weibo account. The FreeBuds Pro 2 is notably the world’s first HWA or Hi-Res Wireless Audio certified TWS earbuds. It will be released in the Chinese market on the 27th of July this year.
The “High-Definition Wireless Audio Technology and Equipment Specifications and Test Methods” (also known as the “HWA standard,” or “Hi-Res Wireless Audio”), which was jointly developed by the China Electronic Audio Industry Association and China Electronics Technology Standardization Institute, was officially released on July 13 by more than 30 domestic and foreign businesses, including Sennheiser, Goertek, and Huawei.
The HWA certification mark does exist with the Hi-Res Wireless certification on the box of the Chinese version of the Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2.
Each Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2 headset weighs 5.9 grams, which is less than its predecessor, according to reports. The Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2 has three microphones and an 11mm unit with a frequency response range of 14 Hz to 40 kHz. It also supports Bluetooth 5.2 and LDAC, AAC, and SBC decoding. This headset has three modes for noise reduction: normal, comfort, and super, as well as an outdoor awareness mode. It also offers a noise reduction depth of up to 47dB.
Like other earbuds, the Freebuds Pro 2 can detect ambient noises and cancel them out while on a call. A new deep neural network technique that learns and adjusts over time is what Huawei improved here. The earbuds should sound great as a result of the collaboration with Devialet.
At the time of launch, Huawei didn’t reveal the battery’s capacity, but guaranteed battery life of up to 30 hours when used with the case. It is claimed that a single charge will last for 4 hours of playback with active noise cancellation and 6.5 hours without. Additionally, the earbuds are IP54 compliant for water and dust resistance, something its predecessors weren’t.
Globally, the Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2 retails at $200 approx (around 1400 CNY) and comes in Silver Frost, Ceramic White, and new Silver Blue colors.
It will be available in the Chinese market on 27th July alongside HUAWEI Watch 3 Pro ECG Version, Smart Screen S Pro 86, the new MateBook X Pro, MatePad Pro 11, and Huawei Enjoy 50 Pro, among others.
