Huawei FreeBuds Pro 4 Bluetooth headphones with HarmonyOS NEXT have improved noise cancellation

Huawei has introduced a new model of wireless headphones FreeBuds Pro 4, which became the first devices in the line with the HarmonyOS NEXT operating system. The headphones are equipped with a Kirin A2 chip, which provides fast data transfer and support for lossless audio up to 48 kHz/24 bit. The device has received dual speakers, which significantly improves sound quality, as well as advanced active noise cancellation (ANC) powered by artificial intelligence.

The HarmonyOS NEXT system has added new features: spatial audio for surround sound, real-time translation during conversations and the Star Flash headphone search function. The headphones are protected from water and dust according to the IP54 standard, which makes them practical in everyday life. The autonomy of the device is up to 6.5 hours without using ANC, and with a charging case, the operating time reaches 33 hours.

The headphones are available in Obsidian Black, Snow White and Spruce Green colors. Their cost in China is 1499 yuan (about 206 dollars), and the start of sales is scheduled for December 4, 2024. FreeBuds Pro 4 promise to become a serious competitor in the premium audio accessory market thanks to new technologies and integration with HarmonyOS NEXT.
