Intelligent Dynamic ANC 4.0 Sets New Standards
The FreeBuds 7i features Huawei's most advanced noise cancellation system yet, dubbed Intelligent Dynamic ANC 4.0. This technology adapts to surrounding environments in real-time, responding to changes in background noise within half a second. The system utilizes three high-performance microphones working in conjunction with updated AI algorithms to effectively cancel ambient noise up to 90 dB. This capability ensures clear audio experiences even in extremely loud environments such as subway stations or busy streets. An ultra-large air vent design helps absorb and cancel sound waves more effectively, while four different ear tip sizes guarantee optimal fit and noise cancellation performance for various ear shapes.
Spatial Audio and Premium Sound Quality
Beyond noise cancellation, the FreeBuds 7i delivers immersive audio through its unlimited spatial audio feature that works independently of content source. This technology creates a three-dimensional sound experience across various music and video formats. The earbuds incorporate an 11mm quad-magnet dynamic driver and have earned Hi-Res certification, ensuring high-quality audio reproduction. An Inertial Measurement Unit combined with head-tracking technology adjusts sound direction as users move their heads, enhancing the spatial audio effect.
Revolutionary Call Experience with Bone Conduction
The FreeBuds 7i introduces a bone conduction microphone system that works alongside three additional acoustic microphones to deliver crystal-clear call quality. This setup, enhanced by AI call noise reduction algorithms, maintains call clarity even in environments with up to 90 dB of ambient noise. A standout feature allows users to answer or reject incoming calls through simple head gestures – nodding to accept or shaking to decline – providing truly hands-free operation.
Design and Connectivity Features
The earbuds feature an ergonomic design with rounded curves and geometric contours for secure, comfortable wear during extended use. They carry IP54 certification for dust and splash resistance, making them suitable for outdoor activities and workouts. The FreeBuds 7i supports dual-device connectivity and maintains compatibility with both Android and iOS platforms, ensuring seamless integration across different ecosystems.
Pricing and Availability
Huawei has priced the FreeBuds 7i at EUR 99.99 for the global market, with promotional pricing available in select regions. In the UK, the earbuds are offered at GBP 89.99 with a launch coupon for a limited time. The company includes 12 months of HUAWEI Loss Care service, providing a 50% discount on replacement earbuds if one is lost. The FreeBuds 7i is available in three color options: Pink, White, and Black, catering to different style preferences while maintaining the premium aesthetic expected from Huawei's audio products.
