Huawei has launched its latest FreeBuds earbuds, the FreeBuds 4E 2024, as an upgrade to the previously released FreeBuds 4E in 2022. The new model maintains most of the features of its predecessor but comes with improved battery life. So let’s get into the details here.

Huawei FreeBuds 4E 2024 specifications

The FreeBuds 4E 2024 continues with the same 14.3mm dynamic driver, 40KHz frequency, and semi-open style design as its predecessor. It also retains the Active Noise Cancellation 2.0 technology and uses three microphones with ENC (environmental noise cancellation) for clear audio during calls.

The notable improvement from the 2022 model is in the battery life. With the charging case, the earphones can now offer up to 26 hours of playback with noise reduction off, compared to the previous model’s 22 hours.

Even with active noise reduction on, the case provides 17 hours of use which comfortably surpasses the earlier version’s 14 hours. However, the earphones themselves have a similar battery life of 4 hours without noise cancellation and 2.5 hours with it on.

Charging times remain consistent as well. The earphones take about 40 minutes to fully charge while for the case alone, it takes around 60 minutes.

There’s support for Bluetooth 5.2 for connectivity and you can pair it with two devices simultaneously. 

Besides many similarities in specifications and design, we didn’t see the mention of the IP64 dust and water resistance rating of its predecessor. Additionally, the FreeBuds 4E 2024 is available in only two colors — Frost Silver and Ceramic White — compared to three on its predecessor. 

Price and Availability

Huawei FreeBuds 4E 2024 earbuds are available for purchase in China at 699 yuan. However, there’s currently a limited-time offer where you can grab it for just 499 yuan. You can purchase the earbuds from Huawei Mall.
