What we cannot blame Huaweiit is his ability to be present in all markets. For several years, the Chinese manufacturer has been present in the audio world and we know why since a large majority of consumers prefers to Buy headphones from the same brand as their smartphone. So yes, the smartphones market Huawei It is not necessarily good in Europe since the United States decided to put Huawei on a blacklist. On the other hand, if we leave the United States and Europe which represent only 700 million consumers at most, there is all the rest of the world who do not necessarily depend on services Google. Also, Huawei has everything to gain from being present in the most markets and sectors as possible.
Also, Huawei takes advantage of this Valentine’s Day period to formalize its completely open new headphones. Not to be confused with recent 6i freebuds, here are the new ones Huawei FreeArc which succeed Freeclip somewhere. We have just spent these last two weeks with it and it’s time to go to the verdict.
Buy the Huawei Freearc
An atypical and yet classic design
It is true that Huawei had surprised his little world with the Freeclip who “clips” on the ears while the new Freearc displayed a more classic design for completely open headphones. To put it simply, it is almost the same design that competition offers. We think in particular of the OpenFit Shokz. Besides, when we compare the two designs, they are relatively close.
In any case, as soon as we put the freeclip on the ears, we notice that they are super light. Indeed, with daily use, we tended to forget them, which is quite surprising since it is by re-lanier of music or an application with sound that we then noticed that we always had them on our ears. As they are open -type headphones, we will also note that the headphones land on the entrance to the hearing channel but without ever putting pressure, that’s why we forget them so easily. Besides, it should be noted that freearcs are perfectly balanced in terms of weight distribution, which still justifies that we forget them so easily. In the end, the Freearc will not move whatever the activity, we were able to try on running, walking or cycling, the headphones remain in place.
Available in three colors, we had gray versions for testing. The case is quite classic in itself and is clearly not part of the most compact boxes, which is logical with such headphones. But the most surprising is the finish. Indeed, if we did not especially doubt the finish, we noticed that the Soft-Touch coating is most pleasant on the ears. This coating allows headphones not to move and yet it does not stick or it does not hang on. Finally, it should be noted that freearc are certified IP57 and are therefore resistant to dust and water but also to rain and perspiration. Note that if the headphones can in theory be immersed for 30 minutes at 1m deep, they are not recommended for swimming for example.
Typical controls
Some innovate by offering no button, we think of Sony Linkbuds for example. Others are more classic like the Huawei Freearc where each of the headphones offers a sensitive button. Because Freearc are very light and tend to be forgotten, we do not have access to the order of a simple support. By default, to launch or stop a sound, you will have to make a double support. Three supports allows you to go to the next track while a long support allows you to call the personal smartphone assistant. You can also slide your finger on the sensitive surface in order to increase or decrease the volume.
Audio quality
We remind you that these new freearc Huawei are completely open headphones. Also, the goal of these headphones is to offer listening to your music while being alerted from the external environment. Besides, Huawei has integrated AI -based technologes that recognize certain ambient sounds and amplify them in case. Suddenly, we can imagine that if we want to use the headphones in the metro for example, there is a good chance that we hear the outside world much more than his own music. And as we do not have an active noise reduction, you will have to do with ambient noise.
If we tend to advise to use Freearc in a quiet environment in order to better benefit from the audio quality of the Freearc, we were pleasantly surprised during our tests in the street. The sound was strong enough so that we could enjoy his music. So yes, it lacks a little serious compared to intra-ear, but you have to be honest, everything works very well. The overall volume is sufficient in itself, even if it lacks a bit of serious. The advantage of being open is that the sound remains aerial and pleasant on a daily basis. We will not push the volume thoroughly under penalty of ending up with a sound that saturates but with a reasonable volume, we were very satisfied with the freearc.
We finish the telephone conversations that go very well. Our interlocutors heard us in telephone conversations. Freearc partially eliminates and in a rather effective way ambient noise. If sometimes we have a view at the limit of the robot, it is quite rare to report it. We didn’t have to complain.
Technical side
The Huawei Freearc are True Wireless headphones all that is most classic and we will go through a most classic pairing. We will note the small button in the case which allows you to launch a new pairing since the freearc are multi-point. In our tests, we paired with an iPhone and a Samsung without note anything. Obviously, to access all settings, you will have to go through the AI Life application.
Having no Huawei smartphones on hand, Freearc allow you to share the sound of your smartphones directly on two pairs of freearc or freebuds. The mix is even authorized, as long as it remains Huawei products. The catch is that it only works with Huawei products (smartphone or tablet) with Emui 13 or more.
As for the battery, the Huawei Freearc offer an autonomy of around 7 hours per load with three additional charges via the box, which is pretty good in this area. We thus end up with almost thirty hours, which is more than enough in real life so as not to pass too quickly through the recharge box. The box offers more-free recharge, always practical, and above all, a 10-minute load allows you to have 3 hours of autonomy. Practical.
