Huawei FreeLace: Price in India, Specifications
The Huawei FreeLace wireless earphones are said to have been designed to offer surging bass and melodious treble. A key highlight of these pair of earphones is the ingeniously hidden USB Type-C plug that can be used for both pairing and charging the phone. This does put you in a position where you will need either a smartphone with a USB Type-C charging port or a wall charger with Type-C output.
The earphones make use of 9.2mm dynamic drivers that make use of ultra-thin TPU diaphragms with a titanium plating. The two earpieces are connected to each other via a flat cable neckband. There are two metallic housings at each side of the neckband, with the right one incorporating the volume rockers, multifunction button, and power button, while the left unit is solid and only showcases a Huawei logo. This entire unit gets an IPX5 water and sweat resistance rating.
The two earpieces can also be attached to each other with the lp of the magnets that are embedded at their ends. Attaching the headphones will pause any music that was playing and shut them down, thus helping preserve battery life. The earphones instantly reconnect to your smartphone when detached.
The USB Type-C plug is located in the inline control module. Simply detach the right earplug and connect the plug to your compatible smartphone. This will not only handle all the pairing functions but also charges the earphones. A 5-minute charge is said to provide up to 4 hours of playback, with a full charge offering up to 18 hours of playback and 12 hours of standby.
The Huawei FreeLace Wireless Earphones are now available on Flipkart for INR 4,999. While Huawei also makes an Amber Sunrise color variant of these earphones, only the graphite Black options seem to be listed as of now.
