Modern life can be pretty hectic. Whether you’re fighting for space on a crowded commuter train, battling through a busy shopping street or being assailed by screaming children on a long-haul flight, it can be hard to carve out some space for yourself to enjoy some music or just to think.
What you need is a pair of true wireless earbuds that block unwanted noise whatever the situation. A pair that combines this world-silencing ability with a stacked feature set, superlative sound quality, and that costs under €100. You need the HUAWEI FreeBuds 6i.
Turn down the noise
We’ve all been there. The train doors slide open to reveal people squashed together like olives in a jar. You manage to cram yourself into a space, but then have to spend the whole journey listening to the deafening roar of the train noise coupled with driver announcements and people on their phones. By the time you get to work you’re ready for the weekend.
But it just gets worse. With open plan offices you’re exposed to radio noise, colleagues’ conversations, people on the phone… it can make getting any work done a fanciful thought. You escape to a nearby cafe for some peace and quiet, but there are just more conversations along with the barista banging out spent coffee grounds from the portafilter and the deafening music the owner has put on for ‘ambience’.
It’s enough to make anyone need a holiday. But on a plane you’re exposed to most of the same noises as a commuter train, and there’s no escape for hours. If you’re not careful, you could return from holiday more tired than you left.
But there is another way…
Noise cancelling that works for you
The HUAWEI FreeBuds 6i feature Intelligent Dynamic ANC 3.0 which can adjust the level of active noise cancellation (ANC) on the fly to react to your environment. So as you descend from a quiet street into the roar of an underground station, the ANC ramps up to neutralise the extra ambient noise. The result is seamless, cocooning you in silence or your choice of music no matter how noisy your environment is.
Intelligent Dynamic ANC 3.0 offers up to 5 kHz of ultra-wide ANC frequency, banishing ambient sound from all parts of the frequency range, from high screeches to low bass rumbles. The technology was previously exclusive to the Pro series, but has now come to the FreeBuds 6i which cost under €100. That makes highly effective noise cancellation more accessible than ever.
But it’s not just the noise-cancelling algorithm that has improved. The HUAWEI FreeBuds 6i offer a total of five technological upgrades to completely revolutionise noise cancellation across a range of scenarios.
These changes apply to both passive and active noise cancellation. Passive noise isolation improvements encompass a Noise Filtering Chamber that detects mid- and high-frequency sounds and filters them most effectively, and brand-new ear tips that provide a more effective seal within your ear and hence more effective passive noise isolation. The ANC has a new three-mic system for picking up and countering noise, 2.4 times more computing power for more computational efficacy and a new 11mm Quad-magnet Dynamic Driver for a more impactful sound.
It’s a compelling amount of technology for a package costing less than £100/€100.
Built for life, designed for you
The HUAWEI FreeBuds 6i have plenty going for them besides noise cancellation. They support the LDAC HD audio codec and have earned the Hi-Res Audio Wireless certification, meaning they support higher quality audio without sacrificing the convenience of wireless connectivity. The 11mm ultra-magnetic bass driver delivers an exhilarating, punchy low end – this driver is 50 per cent more powerful than its predecessor, with thunderous lows reaching all the way down to 14Hz.
EQ adjustment allows the wearer to fine tune the equaliser to meet their requirements, and with 10 bands of EQ to play with, you’ll create a sound that’s as individual as you. A marathon 35 hours of battery life will last you a full week of listening time, and when you need to get going, a 10-minute charge provides a whopping four hours of playback. And with purple, white and black colour options, they’ll compliment your own unique style.
Whether you’re listening to music or just sweet silence, using them all day or just once a day, working, playing, resting or travelling, the HUAWEI FreeBuds 6i are the noise-cancelling earbuds for every situation.
