Huawei Freebuds 3i vs Freebuds 3 - What is the difference?

[@haiderrocking]

The most detailed comparison between the two!!, thanks for the review

[@prathanaramsundar6643]

I have the freebuds 3 Best decision I've made They are amazing! I dont like the feeling of having silicone tips jammed into my ears, it causes ear fatigue. Therefore I opted for the 3. The open design is awesome for my ear shape.

[@Illiterate.]

Does it leak sound. Like when u listen to music can the people around you hear your music. Because I'm thinking of buying it but I can't find an answer

[@prathanaramsundar6643]

@@Illiterate. hi there, yes it does leak sound, I was listening to music and was told by my sister that she could hear it too, this was in a quiet room though.

I just got the Freebuds 3i, and I watched your review using them... loved it. thanks for this review

[@mahiramalik79]

What about call quality? I need a TWS for calls only. Is it as good as wired earphones?

[@ahmedmughim6498]

@@mahiramalik79 Well... i did a voice recording test for the (freedbuds3i) I notice that the Microphone catches your surrounding more than your vice. Than I purchased (sony wf1000xm3) it's double the price of (freebuds3i) and more sound quality. And more like the wired earphones that comes with my phone Samsung S20 Ultra., You can see the difference if you record your vice, on Whatsapp or Sanpchat. In the end what I recommend is: 1-Wired earphone " save money & clear voice call". 2-Sony (wf1000xm3) for more sound control and noise canceling. other than that you can go for big brand names like Bose, AKG.

Great review, i haven't seen anyone doing a review in such great detail, guess what i have bought huawei pods after blackfriday sale.

[@szaweu]

I bought quite a lot of budget earbuds and in the end I had to move to more expensive one to actually feel comfortable with them. I recommend Huawei freebuds pro over both Freebuds 3 and Freebuds 3i

[@metakiat-arpadej5536]

It would be better if there is mic audio test for freebuds 3 as well.

[@BM-vn2bk]

How do the noise cancelling work compared to the airpods pro or the wf1000xm3??? Nice video bro

[@areposo]

I have both in terms of noise cancelation freebuds 3i work better combining active and passive noise canceling, but in terms on sound quality the freebuds 3 are better than the 3i, also battery wise the freebuds 3 last longer than freebuds 3i, the reason I have both is because my ears won't hold the freebuds 3 very good so I use them to listen to music at home while I use the freebuds 3i to go outside or to the gym

[@stianjarnass]

Hi do you get a ear wax build up feeling with the 3i? I tried in ear and didn't like that. But the passive noise cancelling is great from it. But I think I prefer open design like the wired buds that comes with the phone 🤗

[@macbelbelt1815]

hi does it hurt in long term use? like feeling pressure from the ear?

[@areposo]

@@macbelbelt1815 yes if used for long time it can hurt but this depends mostly on the size of the ear buds if you find one that fits your ear it'll hurt a lot less but yes I'd rather go with the freebuds 3 they don't hurt one bit, but they won't hold as good though

[@clementblanc2131]

Do you have a mode to let the ambiant noise in (to hear what is going on around you) ?

[@Hecxa]

Do these need Huawei devices (+EQ in app) in order to produce decent sound? Bought 3i for testing and connected them to my Samsung/iPhone as well as Macbook, and the sound quality is just horrible, especially when listening to music.

[@thestrategist100]

Hi. Which one is your personal pick? I am getting the 3i with a launch bundle of Huawei Band4 as a freebie. I had ordered the Sony one but canceled it as it is double the price. Should I go for Sony, or will the 3i work for good music and call quality? Thanks

[@fAmazingWorld]

the mic seems sweet on these, as soon as you put on the backround noise and started talking, the backround noise got so much lower, altho the mic quality also lowered, but still.

[@ryanschofield2809]

Hey @whatgear! I saw you used the freebuds 3i with your mac desktop, were you able to use all the freebud's feature w/ macOS? I have a macbook pro and I was just wondering if these buds will be compatible.

Yes you can pair them up to mac. However, in order to customise the touch controls you will need to use the AI life app.

[@bigbadwussnah6759]

Personally, id still recommend getting the freebud 3s. my friend usually lets me borrow his airpod pros sometimes, and the silicone tips start to get annoying and I feel like they dig too much into my ears sometimes. This also means that with silicone tips, there would not be much air which I personally find very uncomfortable as my ears would start to get stuffy and uncomfortable. I don't do much intense sport, but when I do simple workouts like jogging or simple activities with my friends, I feel that having earbuds with silicone tips might be more of the suitable option. TL;DR: Get FreeBud 3s for everyday use and Freebud 3i if you go to the gym or do workouts more.
