Huawei Freebuds Pro is here to ‘redefine noise cancellation’
First TWS with ‘intelligent dynamic noise cancellation’
Huawei was pretty gun shy about slapping the “pro” tag on their TWS earphones. Now, we’re finding out why with the Huawei Freebuds Pro which has the bold claim of redefining noise cancellation.
If this were any other manufacturer we would be more skeptical, but previous the company’s previous TWS earphones on the Freebuds 3 line have been nothing short of fantastic. So, what’s different now?
Next level noise cancellation
Let’s get to the meat of the improvement. The Huawei Freebuds 3 Pro’s noise cancellation has gone up to 40db. Previous models were at 30db (Freebuds 3) and 15db (Freebuds 3i).
Like the Freebuds 3, it’s equipped with the Kirin A1 chip to aid in noise cancellation, but there are other factors in play as well. The chip is complemented by the in-ear fit — a feature it shares with the Freebuds 3i but not the Freebuds 3.
Adding to these are the dual microphones located both inside and outside the earbuds. This is a key design decision that helps in detecting the surrounding you’re in. It enables the Freebuds 3 Pro to automatically choose the appropriate noise cancellation mode of which it has three: Ultra Mode, Cozy Mode, and General Mode.
Improved battery life
More features mean a little more strain on the battery, but Huawei managed to improve it still, on paper, at least. With noise cancellation on, the Freebuds 3 Pro should last for 4.5 hours, with it turned off, you should get up to 7 hours on a single charge.
When charging for 10 minutes, the wired charging method can charge to 30% and wireless charging method can be charged to 18%. With a 30-minute charge, the wired charging method can charge to 55%, and wireless charging can charge up to 32%.
It supports Huawei SuperCharge so you can use your Huawei tablet or smartphone that support the reverse wireless charging feature to juice up the TWS earbuds.
Intuitive controls and usage
Huawei is also leaning into the stem design but for good reason. They’ve traditionally used the stem both as a way for the user to control the functions of the earbud and as a mic for audio output. The same is true for the Freebuds 3 Pro.
Toggling the noise cancellation on or off can be done by simply pinching the stem. The same gesture can also be assigned to answer and hang-up calls, pause and play songs, and others. To control the volume, users can simply slide up or down on the stem. Convenient.
The Freebuds Pro also allows simultaneous pairing. You can pair it with two devices at the same time. These also don’t have to be Huawei devices. The Dual Connection feature will let you seamlessly switch to Android, iOS, and Windows devices. Neat!
Pricing and availability
The Huawei Freebuds Pro comes in three colors: Carbon Black, Ceramic White, and Silver Frost. It will retail for EUR 199 (US$ 236) and will be available for purchase starting October 2020 on the Huawei official website and various retailers in selected markets.

Apple’s new iPhone Pocket is a stylish way to carry your iPhone
This time, woven into the fabric of a modern accessory
Fashion meets tech — again.
Apple’s latest creation isn’t a new iPhone, but something to wear it in. Announced today, the iPhone Pocket is a collaboration between Apple and Japanese fashion house ISSEY MIYAKE, reimagining the way we carry one of the world’s most recognizable devices.
While this is the first official partnership between the two brands, Miyake’s influence has long been stitched into Apple’s story.
The minimalist yet iconic uniform that is Steve Jobs’ black turtlenecks were custom-made by Miyake himself.
Back in the 1980s, Jobs even approached Miyake with an idea: to design a uniform for Apple employees. That plan never took off, but decades later, the spirit of collaboration finds new form — not in a shirt, but in a beautifully woven accessory.
The iPhone Pocket draws inspiration from Miyake’s Pleats Please and Homme Plissé lines, famed for its permanently pleated, wrinkle-free designs.
Made in Japan, and co-designed with the Apple Design Studio, each bag is crafted from a single piece of innovative 3D-knit fabric that’s both stretchy and feather-light. It’s designed to fit any iPhone and, as Apple notes, “other pocketable items.”
Available in two strap lengths, it can be worn as a shoulder bag (or slung on an arm) or crossbody. The color palette is distinctly Miyake: lemon (neon yellow), mandarin (bright orange), purple, pink, peacock (turquoise), sapphire (rich blue), cinnamon (brown), and black.
Longtime fans might also feel a nostalgic nod to the iPod Socks — a whimsical early-2000s Apple accessory that turned practicality into playful design.
The iPhone Pocket launches Friday, November 14, as a limited release, available online and in select Apple Stores.
In New York, it makes its debut in SoHo which is Apple’s outpost in the city’s fashion district. Prices start at $149.95 for the short strap and $229.95 for the long strap.
