Resembling a luxurious lipstick case, the wireless Huawei Freebuds Lipstick comes in a solid compact stainless steel case and sultry design that nods to the Avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris.
Adaptive Ear Matching (AEM) technology detects the ear canal shape and wearing conditions to offer the best sound, while a simple swipe, double-tap or tap-and-hold can adjust the volume, pause music or a call, and activate the noise cancellation feature — this dials down the surrounding sounds (though not entirely) for a quality audio experience (and helps in diminishing your neighbour’s noisy renovations when you WFH).
Audio quality-wise, the output is balanced and well-defined. They’re also comfortable to wear, though their smooth glossy surface doesn’t feel like the earbuds will stay in place during high-intensity activities like running.
The earbuds offer up to four hours of playback when fully juiced up, and up to 22 hours of music playback with a fully charged case, which uses a Type-C charging connector. If she’s got other Huawei devices like the Vision smart TV or Huawei Watch, they can be synced too.
Available at Huawei‘s official Shopee and Lazada
