The Freebuds 4i offer a very attractive package for those seeking an AirPods aesthetic without busting their wallets wide open. They’re well-built and serve up a pleasant (if not class-leading) listening experience, with solid noise cancellation, call quality, battery life and charging to match. The main thing that lets it down is the fact that the earbuds can be tricky to remove, but it’s something you get used to. A bigger concern for Huawei is something like the Cambridge Audio Melomania 1 wireless earbuds, which can be snapped up for around £20 more, offering superior sound quality (though no active noise cancelling smarts). If you’re after the AirPods look with good performance and a reasonable price to match though, these could very well be the buds for you.
