At the heart of the FreeBuds Pro 4 lies the powerful Kirin A2 chip, enabling high-speed 2.3 Mbps transmission and support for up to 48kHz/24-bit lossless audio.

The earbuds feature a dual-driver system, combining an 11mm dynamic driver with a micro-planar tweeter. This setup provides a balanced audio profile with deep bass, clear midrange, and extended treble.

The FreeBuds Pro 4 offers up to 6.5 hours of playback without ANC or 4.5 hours with ANC on a single charge. With the charging case, the battery life extends to 33 hours without ANC or 23 hours with ANC. The earbuds are rated IP54 for dust and water resistance, making them suitable for various conditions.
