Such an underrated review! Love the humor!
@injinerconev Рік тому
Thanks for the review. I've been waiting for these to come out globally as I have a huawei phone and I consider getting them. It is tough to tell without personal trying them on. I like a bit more bassy sound and my main daily drives are Sony wi400xb which are considered bassy but to my ears they don't down out other frequencies. Would you reckon the 5i have well expressed lows and did you find the base boost distorting the sound during your testing?
@Oakyman Рік тому
Love my 4i, I'll order 5i soon when it becomes available in Thailand early March 2023

@kmstreetstar 10 місяців тому
My freebuds 4i were glitchy, sometimes more sound comes from one side than the other, the controls sometimes just don't work unless input them back in the case and then take them out again. Became frustrating, hopefully the 5i fixes these
@nightpunisher1108 7 місяців тому
Just wanted to add that the 4i had water resistant probably nkt enough to get a badge but i used it bathing, jogging in the rain and in the gym, you also have constant sound no matter the battery life the 4i is also comparable to the Apple airpods 2nd gen the 5i would surely be better but the battery life won't be.

I have the Huawei free buds pro since it released do you think this is much of an upgrade or maybe switch to the Huawei free buds pro 2
@WhatGear Рік тому
I think the Pro's might be better for you since you are coming from the previous ones. They'll be better than what you already have... These might be too close to what you currently have.

@@WhatGear thanks I've not been able to find any videos on the Huawei free buds pro vs Huawei free buds pro 2 just videos on the Huawei free buds pro 2 Vs the Huawei 3i or 4i so I don't know if the free buds pro 2 are worth the upgrade maybe it's better waiting until the free buds pro 3 releases I like the Huawei free buds pro but there just not not fitting as good comperd to the free buds 3i model

Thank you, Troy. Is there a plain old pair of buds that will STAY in my ears? I don't need a super pair of buds, I'm just listening to books. I lost my last pair. I didn't like them anyway! I wonder if I psychologically lost them? Thanks for another informative video. Btw, how long did it take you to perfect that Quick Draw? 😅

Would you get the Freebuds 5i or Linkbuds S? I have the Freebuds Pro 2 but the Linkbuds S is pretty promising.

@@francoesperantobegue472 So the Freebuds 5i are better, you think? I'd hope. I've had the Linkbuds S but sold them as the lack of all gesture controls killed it for me.
@george0t Рік тому
So, battery on a single charge is nearly twice as worse than on the 4i? Those were allegedly able to last 10 hours with ANC off, 8 with ANC on.
@WhatGear Рік тому
I guess they had to remove some battery from the buds to make them smaller & then compensated with bigger battery in the case. I'm going to take a wild guess & say Huawei probably noticed from their consumer feedback data that not many people use them continuously for more than 6hrs.
@george0t Рік тому
@@WhatGear Or they wanted to claim improved battery life and the easiest way to do that was to cram in a larger power source into the case? The capacity of the battery inside the earbuds seem to be same as before (55 mAh), but I'm going to assume the improved NC and new speaker/mic design draw more power.
@I.P.R.I.N.C.E Рік тому
@@WhatGear that's a good idea
@skeletalgamer1013 Рік тому
7 with ANC on actually. The battery was inevitably going to be worse since it's smaller in size and also have more features crammed in. It's actually impressive how they managed to both shrink the buds and cram in more features without affecting the battery life too much
