Review: Huawei FreeBuds 4i | The Best Of The Cheap Huawei FreeBuds 4i

It's hard to recommend paying more, when the Huawei FreeBuds 4i are so good.

Good sound, clear speech quality and good battery life. What's not to like?

No EQ feature, no working iOS app, and the Android app has few features.

Huawei FreeBuds 4i are perhaps the best earplugs for under a hundred we have tested. They sound very well balanced, with a rich and good bass that engages on all music, while voices and instruments sound natural from midrange and up. The midrange may...

Huawei Freebuds 4i Review: Small package, big potential

These earbuds are the company's successor to the FreeBuds 3i and could have the potential to replace your primary true wireless earbuds.

Tremendous battery life ; Comfortable fit ; Budget-friendly

Lack of controls for iPhone users ; No wireless charging ; Average-quality bass

If you’re someone who wants no-nonsense earbuds that work great and feature top-of-the-line battery life along with active noise-cancellation and a budget-friendly price tag, the Huawei FreeBuds 4i are for you

Huawei Freebuds 4i review: Good sound, excellent battery life for under €100

The Huawei Freebuds 4i is an entry-level true wireless earbuds with ANC that is an excellent value-for-money proposition.

Excellent battery life ; Balanced audio signature ; Classic yet premium design ; Compact and solid casing ; Affordable price

Average ANC performance ; AI Life application is almost useless ; No IP certification or wireless charging support ; No HD codec support ; Poor microphone function

For just under €100, the Huawei Freebuds 4i are an excellent value-for-money proposition for a pair of true wireless earbuds with ANC capability. The very balanced sound signature which is far more accurate than most affordable wireless earbuds that...

Huawei FreeBuds 4i Review: The proof is in the ANC | Trusted Reviews

The Huawei FreeBuds 4i are an accomplished pair of budget buds that aim for greatness but don't quite reach their lofty aspirations

Convenient-sized case ; Effective ANC ; Good overall sound quality ; Secure, comfortable fit

Slightly weedy bass ; No wireless charging ; Difficult to remove buds from case

Huawei FreeBuds 4i review

Huawei is back with another pair of budget wireless earbuds with ANC. Now £79 with longer battery life but software woes weaken the experience

Good ANC ; Solid sound quality ; Decent battery life

Awkward design ; App issues ; Limited touch controls

While the FreeBuds 4i are an improvement on the 3i in some ways, the case design is worse, there are also software issues and more competition this time around.

Huawei Freebuds 4i review

Want the AirPods experience minus the price tag? Huawei's new buds could be the answer

Slick design ; Solid sound performance ; All-day battery life ; Noise cancellation

Earbuds can be fiddly to remove ; Mids could be clearer

Solid build, good performance, and all-day battery life, at a very reasonable price

Huawei Freebuds 4i

The Huawei FreeBuds 4i truly wireless headphones are noise-cancelling earbuds that look very similar to the Apple AirPods Pro but cost less than half the price. Did they impress our listening panel and deliver where it matters with excellent sound and...
