Huawei has expanded its wearables lineup with the FreeArc, open-ear headphones for comfort and active lifestyles. The release was overshadowed by the Mate XT Ultimate launch.
The FreeArc features a unique 'C-bridge Design' for a secure fit, made from high-performance Ni-Ti alloy and soft silicone, ensuring comfort and durability.
With an open-ear design, the FreeArc lets users stay aware of surroundings but sacrifices some audio quality. It excels for activities like running and calls at home.
The sound quality is decent with a 17 mm x 12 mm driver, punchy bass, and balanced sound suitable for music and podcasts. Calls are clear with AI noise filtering.
Battery life is impressive, with over 6 hours of use at 75% volume and quick charging. The FreeArc is comfortable, lightweight, and offers a reliable option for daily use.
Best suited for quieter environments, the FreeArc struggles with Apple devices. Priced at £99 in the UK and €99 in Europe, it offers bundle deals, making it a worthwhile consideration.
