Since it has an in-ear design, the FreeBuds 3i should offer better noise isolation that the regular FreeBuds 3 with an open design. Add the ANC feature and it should get similar to the Apple AirPods Pro noise blocking.

The case

Huawei said that its active noise cancelation tech can lessen outside noise by up to 32dB. But, it will be at the cost of the battery life as expected. By default, it has up to 3.5 hours of battery life. When the ANC feature is on, it'll drop to just 2.5 hours.

Fortunately, it has a charging case that can add up to 14.5 hours of music listening or 10.5 hours of talk time. The case can charge the earbuds for one hour. The case will need a total of 115 minutes to be fully charged from 0 to 100 percent.

The buds itself uses a 10mm dynamic driver. The body has IPX4 water resistance and it has a tap control feature. You can long tap to turn ANC on and off and double-tap to play/pause playback and answer/end calls.

It also has a 3-mic system with 2 outward-facing and one inward-facing microphone to enhance call quality.

For better comfort and seal, Huawei added 4 extra silicone ear tips in its packaging.

The device is available in Ceramic White and Carbon Black colorway for GBP or around PHP 5.6K out of straight conversion.

In UK, the Ceramic White version will be available starting May 20. On June 17, the Carbon Black version will be available via select third-party retailers.
