Huawei has just added a fresh pair of wireless earbuds to its collection with the introduction of the FreeBuds SE 3. Designed with a keen focus on affordability, these earbuds come equipped with a single 10 mm driver in each piece. Though they don’t boast a long list of flashy features, they make up for it with their promising price point and stylish appearance. While the lack of multi-device connectivity might be a drawback for some, the ease of connecting them to compatible devices remains user-friendly, thanks to an optional pairing button on the charging case.
Despite not having Bluetooth multipoint — which would allow simultaneous connection to two devices — these earbuds still offer a seamless experience for users switching between gadgets. For instance, seamlessly transitioning from watching videos on your laptop to answering calls on your phone, if you don’t mind a quick manual switch.
Design-wise, the FreeBuds SE 3 may catch your eye with their elegant aesthetics, coming in two sophisticated colors: gold and black. Both the earbuds and their sleek charging case share matching hues. In terms of battery life, Huawei boasts that these earbuds can provide up to 42 hours of listening time, provided they are periodically recharged in their respective case. A quick ten-minute charge can supply an impressive three hours of listening enjoyment.
Currently available in China, the Huawei FreeBuds SE 3 comes with an attractive price tag of around €26 (approximately $27 USD), making it a very competitive option in the budget earphone market. With Bluetooth 5.4 support and waterproof capabilities, these earbuds are tailored for those seeking functionality without breaking the bank.
Even without more premium features, Huawei’s FreeBuds SE 3 seems to offer solid value, especially for anyone keen on grabbing a stylish pair of earbuds that deliver good sound and great battery life on a budget.
