In addition to an incredibly attractive high-end smartwatch going straight for Samsung Galaxy Watch 3’s jugular and an ultra-low-cost fitness watch with an impressive list of features outshining the Fitbit Inspire 2, Huawei has two new pairs of wireless headphones to showcase as well.
The world’s first TWS earphones with “intelligent dynamic noise cancellation”
Noise-cancelling neckband earphones with all-day battery life
The neckband style may have gone out of fashion for most major manufacturers of wireless headphones, but not Huawei, whose FreeLace Pro come with a cord, the same state-of-the-art active noise cancellation technology as the FreeBuds Pro, and a bold €119 recommended retail price on the old continent ahead of a commercial debut later this month.
In case you’re wondering, the aforementioned OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z are available at only €50… without ANC or the impressive 24-hour battery life promise of the FreeLace Pro. These bad boys are also rocking fast charging capabilities, not to mention you can easily pair them with a USB-C phone, tablet, or PC to squeeze five hours of juice out of a five-minute charge.
In addition to dual-mic ANC, the FreeLace Pro utilize a 3-microphone adaptive system to drown out noise during calls while delivering excellent overall sound quality thanks to a large 14mm dynamic driver unit. Available in Graphite Black, Spruce Green, and Dawn White paint jobs, the neckband active noise cancellation earbuds are also IP55 rated for water and dust protection, unlike the FreeBuds Pro, which are not even advertised as splash-resistant.
All in all, the Huawei FreeLace Pro may well be worth their seemingly extravagant cost… if you don’t mind the somewhat outdated design.
