When I exercise I always listen to music and I have twice been aware that headphones fall out of my ear with particularly serious consequences. Once a few years ago, a headphones fell out of my ear during training and just landed in a sorkbo alongside the path where I ran. I never got that headset. Next time was just a few weeks ago. I was out running in a thin layer of fresh snow then my one headphone, as I would adjust the volume, fell out of the ear and down the street. White headphones in white fresh snow turned out to be super difficult to find. Especially since I did not know more precisely than within ten meters, I was dropping it. Finally, after more than 15 minutes of fine combing I found it.


Is doing well to pill

As long as I do not pill on the hearing, I think almost all the headphones sit safely even when I'm out running. Just when you have to respond to a call, change song or change the volume though, there is always a risk that the slip will roll out. However, not with the type of headphones that Huawei Freearc joins. Huawei Freearc is a pair of new headphones that are open to its design and thus do not shut out the sound of the surroundings in any way, on the contrary. They are made so that you can hear traffic and other important sounds around you while enjoying music, podcasts or for a conversation during a phone call. Here I have no problem changing songs or changing the volume during the jogging round. I wrap over the headset up or down to change the volume and pause or change song with two or three quick prints. It goes well even when I run at full speed.


The case is large and takes up proper space in your pocket.

The gestures to control can also be changed in the app that belongs to, Huawei Ai Life. That app is available for both Android and iPhone and it makes it possible to easily connect the headphones, update software and manage settings. I can easily have several devices connected at the same time and when I connect both an iPhone and several Androids it is easy to choose which one to use with the headphones at the moment.

Good sound

Because the headphones are open, you have no active noise reduction, but on the other hand there is noise reduction for calls, so you can call and be heard well even in messy environments with a lot of background sounds. I try this and gradually increase the noise in the background with the effect that the person I talk to still hears me well, but does not hear any of the noise. The closer the source of noise I go, the more processed, however, sounds my voice, so there is a certain back. As long as I keep distance to the most loud noise, I hear fine. The music sound when I listen to the handsets is good, but not high resolution, but with a nice balance without really standing out specially. However, I notice that they do not always disconnect or pause the music when I take them out of the ears, so accidentally it happens that they play on when I put the headphones on a table or once even ten seconds after I put them in the case. But then the handsets are also relatively cheap with a price tag just over a thousand.
