Huawei FreeBuds Pro 4: 1st Wireless Buds with 24-bit, 48 kHz Audio

0:00 hey everybody I hope you guys are healthy and safe so for those of you guys who watch my channel regularly thank you for that by the way you may know that I have a rule about covering wireless earbuds and I've said this before for years basically I don't want to make a standalone video on a set of wireless earbuds unless the earbuds are special by special I mean they are unique or offering something new never before seen otherwise I think earbuds nowadays they're are dime a dozen I literally get sent to earbuds every few weeks I don't even ask for them like company just sent them to me and that's why even though I have all the earbuds I get earbuds from Bose Apple XI Samsung Google nothing I have very rarely made a full video on them because while those earbuds are all good they don't really

0:45 do anything particularly new or unique the Huawei free Pro 4 however deserves a video because this is the first set of wireless earbuds in the industry to offer 2.3 mbits per second lossless transmission meaning it can pump out lossless audio at up to 48 KZ at 24bit by comparison Apple's airpods Pro 2 can only produce 20bit audio and Google's pixel butts Pro the newest ones they are even lower so huawai calls this new high-end audio technology Huawei sound it's a branding you probably going to see going forward in huawei's tiptop premium audio products but the freebuds Pro 4 are the first to offer this now to be fair you can only reach the app absolute maximum 24-bit 48 khz audio if

1:33 you pair the freebuds Pro 4 with the Huawei mate X6 running the latest version of emui but even when you pair the freebuds Pro 4 with a non Huawei phone like an iPhone or a Vivo device you're still getting high definition audio it's just for the highest tier audio file quality you do need to use a Huawei M X6 for now at least going forward you know that new huawe flagships will also support it and like previous freebuds Pro the earbuds here offers some of the best transparency mode and active noise cancellation that I've ever heard I'll talk about the earbuds more pretty soon let's first take a look at the packaging because the retail packaging of the freebs Pro 4 is a little bit more premium than usual it's also larger than usual too we moved the out the sleeve and open the top cover and you're greeted with the earbuds below it are two sets of ear

2:20 tips in conventional silicon and memory foam each set comes in three sizes that should fit all types of ears now generally speaking memory for will offer even stronger passive noise cancellation than conventional silicon tip by passive noise cancellation I mean that's when the tip of the earbuds seals off your ear canal so it's physically passively blocking out sound and the fact that Hua is giving you memory foam it's an upgrade over what Apple or Samsung gives you because they only give you silicon and memory foam does a better job but not Everyone likes the feeling of memory foam in the ear and memory foam may not be as durable as silicon and that's why huai still includes conventional silicon ear tips the packaging also comes with warranty information and a type A to type c charging cable here are the

3:07 earbuds they follow the same design language established since the first freebuds pro stem is a little bit blockier than usual I actually like the blockier stem than circular ones because they make the earbuds a little bit easier to hold on to and also the touch sensor ofor panel it's a little bit larger and easier to access these buds are very lightweight at about 5.8 G each each and the charging case weighs about 47 G now these earbuds even though they're small they pack a lot of power on each earbud are two driver an 11mm driver and a planner diaphragm driver along with four microphones one of these mics is a bone conduction vpu microphone that picks up sound vibration directly from your skull so that means if I wear these in a noisy environment and I'm on

3:52 a call the bone conduction mic will still pick up my voice because it is not picking up my voice fire external audio ways but via vibration from my bones so that means even if I'm in a really loud environment the other party will still hear me a little bit better okay we're going to put the free buts Pro 4's mics to the test so I'm going to make a call from a Huawei mix6 connected to my freebs Pro 4 right now to my other phone I'm going to put the call in speaker while recording the audio of the DJI mic that's connected to my camera and I'm going to put the call on speaker speaker and then now I'm going to step outside to my patio in downtown Los Angeles so it's obviously very noisy right now a lot of

4:39 course down below so it's obviously very noisy right now a lot of car down below and I'm just talking right now outside with a lot of car noise near me how do I sound right now testing one two three testing one two three the audio you're hearing just coming from the fre BL Pro and okay now I'm wearing the airpods pro two do the same thing step outside okay now I'm making the exact same cve with the Apple airpod Pro okay now I'm making the exact same carve with the Apple airox Pro this Tio is right outside a major down street so there cor the this is a so as you can hear the freebs Pro 4 did pick up my voice better than what the Apple airpods Pro 2 can do so that's probably due to the bone conduction mic

5:24 and also because of huawei's AI call noise reduction algorithm so as mentioned earlier you use the freebuds Pro 4 along with the Huawei mate X6 running the latest version of emui you will unlock the earbuds full capabilities lless audio at 24bit at 48 khz now it's worth mentioning that only the 24-bit lossless audio is exclusive to the m X6 all the other features I talked about such as the excellent microphones and the active noise cancellation that will work no matter what device you're paired with so about the 24-bit and the 48 KZ both of these numbers matter quite a lot if you're an audio file and kilohertz meanwhile measures how often data points are captured per second in audio recording most professional recording artists when they record audio for records like for

6:10 CD or for streaming they record at 44.1 khz so that means at 48 khz the free bets Pro 4 has more than enough data points to cover the full depth of the audio and the free bets Pro 4 are the first wild zits in the world to offer both 24-bit and 48 KZ audio now of course you will need lossless audio files to get full 24-bit audio if you're just streaming from Spotify especially the free tier or or from YouTube music you're not going to be able to take advantage of the Free Bet Pro Force optimal audio qualities but to be honest I think most people out there they're not audio files and the conventional audio that they get from YouTube or Spotify is good enough and I can vouch

6:58 that audio from those sources is still sound excellent on the free buts Pro 4 music produced by a free buts Pro 4 sound really full and Lively with an extra um extra Basse kick like that extra that you get when you're listening to hip-hop music for example in addition to hip-hop I also listen to a lot of rock and roll I've been listening The White Stripes lately and man Jacky's guitar rips sound just so crisp from the freebs Pro 4 battery life is pretty good the auts can play audio for 6 and 1/2 hours on a single charge and the case adds another four charges for over 30 hours of listening time total as I mentioned earlier the transparency mode here is also one of the best and that matters a lot to me because I wear my earbuds a lot when I'm walking outside and riding my bike and excellent transparency mode here allows me to hear

7:45 my surroundings and the real world sound I hear sound very natural like it doesn't sound all digitalized like some inferior earbuds May produce basically when I wear the freebs Pro 4 and I turn on transparency mode it feels like I'm not wearing anything at all because noise from The Real World just comes through naturally so overall if you care about audio file quality if you care about the highest optimal quality that you can get from a Ser wireless earbuds and earbuds that are very comfortable to wear the H freebuds Pro 4 are the best on the market right now so yeah that's about it for this video if you enjoy this content please consider subscribing to my channel it will help me a lot I have a lot more coming stay tuned thanks for watching
