Dude this was perfect. How come you channel isn't millions. You are next level in this thing. Hats off man real good work here. As Churchil once said "a good speech should be like a woman's skirt; long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest". Your video is too like a woman's skirt mate.

[@weekendgearguide]

Thanks for watching! I've wondered that myself. 🤣Love the quote and analogy mate! Maybe I'll use that as one of my voice call quality quotes in future episodes ;-) Till then, stay tuned for more comparisons against Jabra Elite 10, Beat Studio Buds+, Denon PerL Pro, Technics AZ80, Soundcore Liberty 4 and OnePlus Buds Pro 2. Cheers!

[@h4m74ro]

Your tests are incredible! I just wonder if the test result would be any different with just one earbud in use.

[@briandaa323]

Keep up the good work, these videos are WAY better and more useful than 99,9% out there.

[@weekendgearguide]

Thanks for watching! Check out the latest call quality comparison videos. Cheers!

[@aljkeskjn]

great review I just realized I need to have

[@GiladBarel-gj4hv]

Amazing video. Can you please check as well huawei freebuds 5 vs huawei freebuds 3 pro?

[@onoz75000]

My mind is blown by the performance of the freebuds pro 3 in the dynamic environment. Thanks for the video

[@weekendgearguide]

Thanks for watching! I am also surprisingly impressed that the FreeBuds Pro 3 came out of nowhere to have the best voice call quality, and glad the video helped show that. Stay tuned for upcoming comparisons of HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 3 against Jabra Elite 10, Beat Studio Buds+, Denon PerL Pro, Technics AZ80, Soundcore Liberty 4 and OnePlus Buds Pro 2. Cheers!

[@anestacom]

​@@weekendgearguideany chance to add Huawei freeclip to the comparison?

[@JeffersonBross]

Wow ... Been waiting for this.

[@weekendgearguide]

Thanks for watching!

[@next3884]

This is the best and professional comparison I have seen. Can you do Huawei Freebuds Pro 2, I do wonder how far is it aparts the more expensive model.

[@weekendgearguide]

Thanks for watching! Will consider this as well, as I too am curious to hear whether HUAWEI's marketing claims of the FreeBuds Pro 3 over the FreeBuds Pro 2 hold true. Cheers!

[@jeffryyapin1399]

nice concept of testing, really objective way to test. Thanks

[@weekendgearguide]

Thanks for watching! Glad you like the test methodology used in my voice call quality comparisons. Hope that the TWS Earbud manufacturers will watch and utilize my test methodology to help improve their Earbuds for voice call quality in different noise environments. Cheers!

[@cyberhogue]

Thanks. I think your work is amazing!

[@weekendgearguide]

Thanks for watching! Check out my latest voice call quality review to see whether Headphones (w/aux mic cable) have better call quality than a Bluetooth Headphones designed specifically to handle loud background noises in open office: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmqsY6mcjbabrac Cheers!

[@cristobalfernandosanchezma5409]

Hi i got a cuestion, for you which one of these earbuds has the best sound cuality ? How would be your top five ? Thanks

[@antonsee1]

Nice. Thanks for your video. Will purchase freebuds pro 3 rather than sony xm5.

[@stevenkurniadhihardjadinat7699]

Tx for the video, i just bought freebuds 3 pro❤

[@MK-my5ke]

A wonderful effort.. love how huawei keep getting better even Despite the difficulties definitely will buy one thank you

[@weekendgearguide]

Thanks for watching! Yes, I too was very surprised with the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 3 impressive voice call quality performance, especially in comparison to it's top tier rivals, and seems to be living up to it's marketing claims in comparison to FreeBuds Pro 2. While the FreeBuds Pro 3 voice call quality is #1 in the market, it's other features such as ANC and Sound Quality is definitely within the top 10, so absolutely worth buying. Cheers!

[@av365]

@@weekendgearguide ANC is really weak in comparison to the others. Anyway it could be boosted by changing to foam tips? thoughts ?

[@timurklc6912]

​@@av365ANC is subpar but boosted with silicone. Personally, I wouldnt buy it for Transperancy or ANC. Sound quality is decent. But call quality? You MUST try it. Whatever I say its just not enough because its truly MIRACLE and life changing

[@meritlonar9012]

Thanks

[@Kamananaaaa]

Very useful

[@Physics_HB]

Is the freebuds Pro 3 one of the best options for me? if I am looking for noise canceling, sound quality and loudness... I also want those sitting with me not to hear the sound I play. And I don't care about the mic and calls

[@Mohmadsali]

If you don't care about phone call quality and microphone, bose qc ultra would be better than freebuds 3 pro. Bose has better noise cancelation and sounds profile, even when you use it on Aac Codes on Android, it sounds great. Yes, freebuds has ldac, and it sounds good, very good, but it also has some issues with noise cancelation work. When you use it, for example, in a bus, it "gurgles" at every sharp sound and when the bus "shakes". That's why I sold my 3 pro and bought qc ultra. The noise cancelation in this par is amazing, but mic is bad in noisy situation.

[@Physics_HB]

@Mohmadsali Well thanks for the advice🤍... but I think you mean freebuds pro 3 Not freebuds 3 pro Because these are two different earbuds

[@Dr.Elzeiny-Samsung]

Would you compare Apple Airbuds Pro 2 - USB C Samsung Buds Pro 2 Huawei free Buds Pro 3 or 2 Please 🙏🏻

[@weekendgearguide]

Thanks for watching! Will consider these in future episodes. Cheers!

[@propm]

I thought the Bose was easier to hear on the loud test than the Sony Linkbuds, but I was surprised about how bad the quality of the mic sounded on the Bose on all the tests, also man that Huawei is crazy good, now is it not?

[@weekendgearguide]

Thanks for watching! While Bose has arguably the Best ANC, they have a lot of work to do to improve their voice call quality, especially on their Earbuds! Cheers!

[@user-hs5nb7ch7b]

Amazing bro Huawei always brilliant work ❤ I will buy huawei freebuds pro 3

[@weekendgearguide]

Thanks for watching! While the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 3 are the best for voice call quality, they also do respectfully well for sound quality (using the 10 Band EQ) and ANC, I'd say within the top 10 Cheers!

[@av365]

half the features of these buds are missed if ur not in China. So basically, ur paying for the tech, but unalbe to use it

[@user-hs5nb7ch7b]

@@av365 no brother you miss understanding you can use any place any county

[@SaadBorr]

What about audio quality? Which is the best .. and which one delivers lossless audio quality from Samsung phones?

[@weekendgearguide]

If you can put up with the less comfortable Sony WF-1000XM5 foam eartips and it's higher price, then it would arguably have the best music sound quality, using the commonly support LDAC audio codec (availabe on Sony WF-1000XM5 / LinkBuds S and HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 3). As for Lossless Audio, unfortunately Samsung Smartphones do not support either of the 2 Lossless Audio Codecs available today, which are: A) L2HC 3.0 - Available only for HUAWEI Smartphones (Mate 60 series and above) and Earbuds (HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 3) www.huaweicentral.com/huawei-l2hc-3-0-delivers-1-5mbps-lossless-sound-quality-4x-faster-than-apples-aac/ B) aptX Lossless - Available only for select Android Smartphones (ASUS Zenphone, Sony Xperia, Motorola Razr) and select Earbuds (Bose QC Ultra Earbuds) and Headphones (Bose QC Ultra Headphones) www.aptx.com/product-listing?aptx_type=981 Cheers!

[@SaadBorr]

Thanks a lot man, this is very helpful 🙏🏻 I’ll consider Asus Zenfone 10 after ur information. I already liked it with new spec update, and now audio support encourages me👌🏻

[@TheHarirak]

Hey! This is the best comparison method that I had found! In real life we use it in dynamic environment not in the specific room! Thank

[@weekendgearguide]
