I will start my review by comparing them to the Apple Airpods Pro since they are the main wireless earbuds that I have. The Huawei Freebuds 3i came into my hands as a gift with the purchase of the Huawei GT 2 Pro, so they were not bought to replace the Pro, but they served in the writing of the following review :)
First of all, as you can understand, I am an iOS user and this in itself has some limitations in the use of the Freebuds. For example, there is no AI LIFE customization app, which means that you cannot change the gestures, you cannot see the battery level except from the discreet LED light that changes colors (green - yellow - red), and you cannot set your own gestures. Apart from that, of course, the user experience was excellent. The packaging is very well made, giving a premium feeling, and inside you will find a cable without a plug, 4 different ear adapters, and various manuals. The connection is very easy, even with iOS, and flawless. It recognizes the ear immediately as soon as you put it in, and with a double tap, you can answer your call. In Spotify & Netflix, which I tried, it has very good sound performance, as well as in calls. I can hear and be heard very well. It doesn't have the sound quality that the Pro has, it falls a bit short, but it is at high levels. The ANC is very good, although it also doesn't reach the levels of the Airpods Pro, but it is much better than others I have tried over time. If you want to deactivate the ANC, hold the touch button for two seconds and it deactivates with an audio message and vice versa.
In conclusion, I liked my earbuds a lot and I think that for an Android or Huawei user, it is an excellent solution. Even for iOS users, it is an affordable choice, especially if you don't go for the Pro option and choose some used Airpods 1 or new Airpods 2.
If I could evaluate them somehow, I would say that in terms of sound quality, feeling, and functionality, they are 70% compared to the Airpods Pro and you get them at 60% of their price.
A pleasant surprise from Huawei, at an excellent price and implementation.
