Huawei is expanding its wearables portfolio, and the latest joint is an active lifestyle and a freap-open-open-air headphone designed for comfort.
The release of FreeARC mostly flew under the radar as it came with a mate Xt ultimat global unveiling. It is easy to see why people will take more interest in a three-fold smartphone than a pair of relatively simple earphones.
Nevertheless, we took our time to review them and discovered that they shine in some scenarios.

design
The FreeARC is designed to provide an ergonomically a safe fit, which features a hook that wraps around the ear. Since they have an open-air design, they offer excellent comfort and breathing.
Huawei calls it “C-Brij Design”-it essentially contains three elements: audio hardware next to the ear, the battery posted behind the ear, and a thin wire that connects both.
Each earbud is made from 0.7 mm high-demonstrations ni-t-tis alloys, which is both flexible and durable, which makes it easily adapted to any ear shape. The entire set is finished in soft silicon, and we get two color options: basic black and more striking green.
Thanks to the grip and overall size of the material, which Huawei “140-degree optimal triangle design”, the buds stay in place for hours and are comfortable for long-term wear.
features
The open-ear design lets you be aware of your surroundings. The yearpiece does not enter the year canal, which can be both a blessing and curse. On the positive side, you can hear music and podcast without blocking the noise out.
However, when the sound quality is decent, Freeraq was not designed to give the premium hearing experience, so the audio cannot be fully appreciated the way something can expect something.
So, for whom is it designed? After inserting them through several tests, we found that they excel in some specific situations. One of these is running on track. With its dual-resident antenna, the FreeARC can maintain a uninterrupted Bluetooth connection to the company’s claims up to 400 meters.
This makes your phone ideal to leave on the track in your bag when you run laps, although it is not useful for a run around the park.
Another landscape where the freeARC shines when calling at home. You can forget about catching your phone, walking freely while talking without losing audio clarity. Ensuring clear communication, microphones are aimed at your mouth.
They also work well for casual walks in busy urban environments, where it is important to listen to your surroundings. Because the FreeARC does not block the ear canal, it allows for a clear passage of external sounds. When you enjoy your audio, it becomes a good option to undergo congested roads or public transport.
However, there are some limitations. Freeder gym is not suitable for use in noise environment, where the music can intervene with what you are trying to hear. They are also away from the ideal for road cycling – should the earbuds be worn while cycling – but frequency’s fit sunglasses can disrupt things such as other headgieers that wrap around the ear.
Despite being rated IP57 for water and dust resistance, you should not move freight in the pool. They are uncomfortable with a swimming cap, and they would probably fall without one.
sound quality
The sound quality of Huawei FreeARC is surprisingly solid given the price point. Equipped with a 17 mm x 12 mm driver, earbuds offer perforated bass and clear, balanced sound, which make them suitable for various types of audio content from music to podcast.
However, due to open-ear design, audio experience is not like a traditional in-ear or over-ear headphone.
While the sound is clear and crisp, it is not intended to provide high end hearing experience. Freakers acce in the atmosphere where you need to be aware of your surroundings, but audiophylles probably should stay away from it.
The dual-microphone layout powered by AI noisy filtering ensures that the calls are clear and uninterrupted, even in a slight noise condition.
battery life
Huawei usually does not cite the capacity of the battery to its wear, but during the conversation with journalists, we were told that each bud has a 55 mAh battery, and in the case there is a 510 mAh battery.
In the case, it takes less than an hour to charge the earbuds completely, which only charges through USB-C; Wireless charging on this model was abandoned.
At a complete fee, we found that the FreeARC remains for more than 6 hours of use in 75%, with some sessions spread for 6 hours and 30 minutes.
The battery life is impressive, and with a day -to -day use, they should live through workweek without any issue.
Decision
Overall, Huawei has created a solid set of earbuds. The sound is clear and porous, especially for the price, and they are comfortable and light. Battery life is excellent, making them a reliable option for daily use.
He said, they are best suited for a calm environment. Another negative side is that Huawei’s wearbals still struggle with apple devices, even though both companies have progressed in improving battery performance and third party integration.
FreeARC is priced at £ 99 in the UK and € 99 (exempted from € 119) in Europe, and Huawei offers bundles on its website, such as fit at half price in Band 9 or France, or second pair of frequency for another lower price. Keeping these deals in mind, FREARC is definitely considering.
