You can reduce the load and stretch it out to five hours or so without ANC, but turn everything on and turn it up loud and the battery goes pretty quick.Īs I listen mostly on commutes, this compromise doesn't affect me as much and I have no complaints. Commutes are fine but hop on a call and you might be down and out in less than two hours depending on your settings.Īs such, I don't think these are great for casual listening during long stretches of work. It does affect the quality of your voice, however, but at least there is still clarity.Īlso, the FreeBuds Pro 2 also sounds good even when noise cancelling is turned off most of the time, earbuds are optimised with the ANC turned on.īattery life: The battery life isn't great. The adaptive noise canceling also applies to the microphone, and say, if it gets really windy, the ANC will reduce the noise significantly. It makes it easier to hear others, but your own voice turns into a nasally whine still, it works, I guess. The transparency mode sounds good enough too, and there's an added option to focus on voices. It copes well and adapts to the presence of wind and buffeting noise is kept to the minimum. It does a fair enough job of nullifying most external noise.Īt Ultra settings, you can easily block out the bulk of the noise on the MRT, and without any undue sound pressure on your ears. It offers three levels of noise cancelling – Cozy, General, and Ultra –along with a Dynamic mode that adjusts according to the environment. So let's just check the boxes, shall we?ĪLSO READ: Huawei Mate 50 Pro gets global debut Features rundownĪNC: The ANC is actually pretty decent for the price. It has more going for it than just its sound, and what makes it impressive is that it does everything else well enough. However, there is a clear compromise here seeing that ANC is more or less regarded as a ubiquitous feature, the ZE3000, unfortunately, is not something I would recommend to just anyone. I don't profess to have tried everything in that range, but the sound quality for the price is outstanding. However, it does not have an active noise-cancelling (ANC) circuit. In terms of the value proposition, the closest that I know of in that price range would probably be Final Audio's ZE3000, an outstanding, stripped-down pair of earbuds designed primarily around audio quality and priced at $219. And for once I'm not going to beat around the bush: for the offer price of $256, the FreeBuds Pro 2 will be hard to beat in the sub-$300 True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds category. For me at least, the Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2 was an unexpected delight.
