Apart from making good smartphones and laptops, Huawei has recently released a strong contender in the world of portable audio, the FreeBuds 3, a TWS (True Wireless Stereo) earphones.

In fact, in our review, we concluded that it is considered a steal for the features and audio quality despite its PHP 8,990 pride tag.

Why? It has the ability to beat or compete with even more expensive TWS offerings from Apple and more.

So, in case you are interested in getting one, here's a quick recap of its highlights.


Huawei FreeBuds 3 is the new TWS to beat, here are the 5 reasons why!

1. Pocketable case, Dolphin Bionic Design - Unlike TWS buds, the FreeBuds 3 features a slim and tiny circular charging case. It is pocketable and stylish at the same time. Moreover, it is rich in features. It serves as a pairing/charging dock as well.

For the earbuds, Huawei incorporated the Dolphic Bionic Design to enhance fit, isolation, comfort, and sound reproduction.

The result is it made the FreeBuds 3 one of the most comfortable earbuds to wear. One snap on your ear and you are good to go. Also, it fits most ears with ease even if it doesn't have a foam sleeve.

Huawei made that possible by ensuring that it sits deeper than most earbuds.

2. Large 14.2mm dynamic drivers, good mic quality - For audio, the Bionic Dolphin Design and the large 14.2mm along with the Kirin A1 chip with dual-channel Bluetooth 5.1 made it produce stellar audio for a wireless earphones.

It can go really loud as it is easy to drive with your PC, Mac, or smartphone. It is highly detailed and should fit a lot of song genres. My favorite part is it has a wide soundstage despite its small size.

To sum its audio up, it is small in size, but big in sound.

The microphone is quite good as well. It uses an "Aerodynamic Mic Duct Design" to let users experience clearer calls even on a windy day and even cycling at 20 km/h and a built-in bone voice sensor to make your clear during the phone calls and reduce background noise.

In our test, we were able to experience crystal clear calls with almost no lag.

3. Stable connectivity and ANC - While the earbuds are best to use with Huawei devices due to some Huawei-only advanced controls (such as the instant pairing feature), FreeBuds 3 has one of the most stable connectivity around for any source with Bluetooth connectivity.

Thanks to its Kirin A1 chip, the lag on calls, games, and playing music is nearly non-existent.

Plus, unlike the AirPods 2, the FreeBuds 3 has AI-assisted ANC (active noise cancellation).

According to Huawei, it offers up to 15dB of active noise cancellation. In comparison, that is nearly as good as in-ear earphones with deep ear insertion. The isolation that it can provide is impressive for earbuds.

It even has an app where you can adjust the noise-canceling depending on your ear shape. It is designed to give users a customized noise-canceling solution as each

4. Good battery life, fast USB-C charging, wireless charging - To let you enjoy the FreeBuds 3 better. Huawei ensured that it has decent battery life. The company claimed that even if it has a stable connection (normally consumes more power), the FreeBuds 3 has good battery performance, thanks to the Kirin A1 chip.

Each earpiece has a 30mAh of battery that is usually good for up to 4 hours of battery life. With ANC, the battery drains a bit faster, but it can still last for over 3 hours. The battery case can even give you an extra 16 hours of usage.

15 minutes of charge can give you 2.5 hours of playback. 30 minutes of charge can give you up to 14 hours of playback via wired charging.

Moreover, the charging case can be charged via USB-C at 6W or 2W wirelessly.

5. More affordable than the competition - At PHP 8,990, not cheap. But for premium earbuds, it is affordable for the design, features, and audio quality. It is one of the best for connectivity regardless of price as well.

Other FreeBuds competitors such as AirPods 2 are more expensive with PHP 9,490 starting price. Sony WF-1000XM3 is priced at PHP 12,990. AirPods 2 Pro is PHP 14,990.

Note: You can buy the FreeBuds 3 on 12.12 for just PHP 6,990, read here.
