Huawei FreeBuds Pro presentation in Russia
On October 12, 2020, HUAWEI Consumer Business Group announced the entry into the Russian market of HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro headphones. Fully wireless headphones with intelligent dynamic noise cancellation have become the flagship of HUAWEI's 2020 audio product line. The headphones are distinguished by their design, increased comfort and long battery life. Hybrid talk noise cancellation technology combines a three-microphone system with a bone conduction sensor to provide high-quality voice transmission during calls.
HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro headphones were developed with special attention to comfort for users. Thanks to the unique design, HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro are securely located in the ears. Replaceable silicone nozzles of three sizes and the function of determining the correct fit of the headphones using the HUAWEI AI Life application allow you to choose the best option that will ensure reliable fixation of the headphones and will be convenient for long-term use. To do this, HUAWEI Audio Lab collected and analyzed data from 1000 real users from around the world.

The technology allows you to stabilize the speaker system of the earphone, reduce vibrations to ensure clear and clear sound. Additional listening comfort is provided by the dynamic equalizer adjustment function, which automatically optimizes sound depending on the conditions of use.
HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro are the first fully wireless headphones to receive intelligent dynamic noise cancellation. The system is superior in efficiency to previous models and is able to compensate for external noise with a volume of up to 40 decibels, while the closed in-channel design eliminates distortion. To increase efficiency, the system has dual microphones located inside and outside each insert, which capture the nature of ambient noise, allowing the headphones to automatically switch between three noise cancellation modes: "enhanced," "comfortable" and "general," to improve sound perception.
A windproof design with no holes to capture sound reduces the influence of extraneous noise, allowing music to be listened to without interference while running or cycling. During calls, the headphones suppress wind noise, even when its speed reaches 5 m/s. The user can turn on active noise cancellation with one touch, adjust the volume, answer the call, start playing the track or skip the song. A special algorithm with recognizes the characteristic gestures of the user, minimizing errors and random responses.
