HUAWEI's current Pro-tier in-ear model runs two drivers per side: an ultra-linear dual-magnet woofer paired with an ultra-thin micro-planar tweeter, with a stated frequency response of 10 Hz to 48 kHz. Noise cancellation is branded dual-engine AI ANC, alongside call noise reduction, Awareness Mode, Intelligent Dynamic Awareness, Human Voice Transparency, Conversation Awareness, Adaptive Volume and Dynamic EQ. All figures below come from HUAWEI's own specification page.
Key features
Dual-driver configuration
Bass is handled by the ultra-linear dual-magnet driver and treble by the ultra-thin micro-planar driver, covering 10 Hz to 48 kHz. HUAWEI splits codec behaviour into two paths: L2HC and LDAC when prioritising sound quality, and AAC when prioritising connection quality. The two paths give different battery figures, both listed in the table below.
Noise cancellation and awareness
The official noise reduction list covers call noise reduction, dual-engine AI ANC, Awareness Mode, Intelligent Dynamic Awareness, Human Voice Transparency, Conversation Awareness, Adaptive Volume and Dynamic EQ. Onboard sensors include infrared, Hall, touch, gyroscope, accelerometer, bone conduction and pressure sensors — the pinch controls work off the pressure sensor.
Battery life depends on codec
On L2HC or LDAC with ANC off, music playback runs 8 hours, or 33 hours with the case; with ANC on, 5 hours, or 22 hours with the case. On AAC with ANC off, 9 hours, or 38 hours with the case; with ANC on, 6 hours, or 25 hours with the case. Voice calls run 5 hours with ANC off (22 hours with case) and 4 hours with ANC on (18 hours with case). The earbuds charge in the case in about 40 minutes; the case takes about 1 hour wired or 150 minutes wirelessly, at up to 5 W.
Controls and fit
Controls cover double-tap, triple-tap and swiping for volume, plus single- and two-finger pinch gestures for track skipping, noise cancellation modes and the voice assistant. Four ear tip sizes are supplied — large, medium, small and ultra-small — medium fitted by default. Each earbud weighs about 5.5 g.

Who it's for
- In-ear listeners who want real active noise cancellation for the daily commute.
- Anyone on a phone that supports LDAC, or a HUAWEI phone with L2HC, who wants a higher-bitrate wireless connection.
- People who prefer pressure-sensor pinch controls over tapping the surface of an earbud.
- Not for you if: you dislike in-ear tips. This is a sealed in-ear design, and if tips make your ears sore the same brand's open clip-on model is the more realistic choice. Also note HUAWEI states dual-device connection requires a HUAWEI phone running EMUI 10 or later.

FAQ
Q: Why are there two sets of battery figures? A: Because the codec changes the result. HUAWEI lists L2HC/LDAC under sound-quality priority and AAC under connection-quality priority. AAC draws less power, so the hours are longer. Read whichever row matches the mode you actually use.
Q: Can I connect to a phone and a computer at the same time? A: Simultaneous connection to two devices is officially supported, but HUAWEI notes the feature requires a HUAWEI phone running EMUI 10 or later. On other brands it is not guaranteed.
Q: Can I swim with them? A: No. The earbuds are IP57 and the case IP54, and HUAWEI states plainly that this is not professional waterproof equipment. Do not wear them while swimming, showering, or during any activity involving high water pressure or fast-flowing water.
