HUAWEI recently hosted a launch event showcasing the Mate 70 series and Mate X6 smartphones, the MatePad Pro 13.2 tablet, and the Watch Ultimate Design smartwatch. Additionally, the brand unveiled the FreeBuds Pro 4, its latest true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds, and the first to feature the HarmonyOS NEXT operating system.
HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 4 features
The FreeBuds Pro 4, debuting under the Yuezhang brand, is powered by the Kirin A2 chip, delivering high-speed 2.3 Mbps transmission and up to 48kHz/24-bit lossless audio.
These earbuds introduce super-sensing dual drivers, combining an 11 mm four-magnet dynamic driver with a micro-planar tweeter for enhanced sound quality. The earbuds support digital frequency division technology, dynamic EQ, active noise cancellation (ANC), and voice-transparent modes for versatile listening options.
Upgraded AI noise reduction improves call clarity, complemented by four microphones and a reverse bone conduction pickup microphone, which eliminates background noise and captures voice effectively. The system supports 100 dB call noise cancellation and cancels wind noise at speeds of up to 10 m/s. For audio enthusiasts, the FreeBuds Pro 4 supports codecs including SBC, AAC, L2HC 4.0 (HarmonyOS 4.0 or higher), and LDAC.
Powered by HarmonyOS NEXT, the earbuds offer features such as face-to-face translation, ultra-immersive spatial audio, and Star Flash search. These additions enhance usability and situational awareness. The device is also IP54-rated for dust and water resistance, ensuring durability in various environments.
The earbuds weigh 5.8g each, while the charging case weighs 47g. The 55mAh battery in each earbud provides up to 6.5 hours of playback without ANC or 4.5 hours with ANC. The 510mAh charging case extends total battery life to 33 hours without ANC or 23 hours with ANC.
