Huawei FreeBuds Pro

And when you think about it €179 is not only cheaper than the Samsung and Apple rivals, but can also be brought down further as Huawei has some spicy deals on its website with various market-dependent bundles. If you want proper noise-canceling experience, top-notch audio and you don't mind the design - this is the way to go.

The FreeBuds Pro are a really good package at a price of €179 in Europe. The only major issue I’ve had with them were in relation to ANC, which were fixed by changing the ANC mode manually. If you’re looking for a pair of truly wireless earbuds and have the money to spare, then these are probably the best premium TWS earbuds you can get.

As a pair of ANC earphones these are orders of magnitude better than the Freebuds 3 they superseded. As much as I loved the Freebuds, combining ANC with an open fit design was just a bizarre decision.

Hands on: While we can’t cast a conclusive comparison with the competition until we've spent more time with the Huawei FreeBuds pro, we've been impressed in the brief time we've spent with them, thanks to excellent sound quality, and amongst the best in-call audio quality we’ve experienced from in-ear wireless buds. Plus, they're far cheaper than the Apple AirPods, despite coming with noise cancellation.
