Welcome. In front of me I have the Huawei FreeBads Studio which is what I would call
0:12
basically a competition for Apple's new headphones over the year but when it comes
0:18
down to comparing them to the Apple ones if you're planning to get either one of
0:24
those do not get these ones that's right of the bottom I'm gonna say it there's
0:28
nothing really impressive about this. So straight off popping them off. The packaging really just
0:34
kind of makes it feel like it's Apple product. This Huawei just wants to copy whoever is winning
0:41
the best. Now inside of it we have this I would say a bit better design in terms of carrying
0:49
case. It might be a little bit bulkier but it is a bit better in basically every way. So I just
0:57
move that out of the way as well. So it's a nice case right here. Let's pop it open
1:08
And inside, obviously we'll find the headphones. As you can see, there's a couple
1:16
protections right here. Let's pop this out. And there are the headphones coated left
1:23
and right in here. Now, before I start, I guess, trashing them because that's what I'm going to be doing with these because they're not great
1:33
I'm going to mention things that are good because it's, I guess, not all bad
1:37
I really like the design. It's clean, minimal. It looks really nice
1:43
As you can see the band. The bend does feel a little bit, I guess, stiff
1:48
It probably would be better if it would have a little bit more surface rather than this kind of like small part or it presses
1:57
And also, the foam right here is nice. It does feel really pleasant to actually wear them
2:05
Now, in terms of like wintertime, these also, in my opinion, self, another purpose of keeping your ears warm
2:11
which at least that's what I always say most of the time using over-the-year headphones for. But there is now problems with these
2:20
They do have apparently noise cancelling, and that noise cancelling. I would say it's fine
2:25
I haven't really tested it totally. like really, for instance, crowded places and see how much it cancels
2:32
because right of the bat, the sound quality on these is lacking, in my opinion
2:39
So, in terms of design, that's where they're winning, in terms of actual sound quality, that's where they're losing
2:45
And to me, headphones with overly headphones or any kind of sound device
2:50
that supposed to give you experience of listening to music and it doesn deliver and delivering a good sounding music is just a lost product here And this is one of these products
3:02
It has a nice design, but the sound quality of them is meh
3:08
Now, see if I actually have them added. Now, I do have a Huawei device, but apparently adding them on isn't necessarily the easiest one
3:17
So, okay. Now they did have a nice chant sound when it turns on. And..
3:27
So I guess I have to hold the Bluetooth right here to actually see them
3:34
Oh, there we go. I heard a pairing. I may not have been hearable on the microphone, but there was pairing
3:42
So now that they're on, let's find some music that I can play over
3:56
I'm going to place it basically right next to the microphone, which is right here
4:02
Hopefully that was annoying. So let's open up some music and just record this and let's see if I can find something else here
4:11
Now I'm looking for specifically, there we go, no copyright songs. Okay. And... And..
4:19
Now how do I make them actually play... ...and..
4:40
Let me quickly put them on and see if that changes. Okay, I would really like to play it over the headphones
4:56
This is kind of... because it does sense when they're on, when they're off that disables the music, when they're on, it plays
5:19
I think I found it. Oops. Yep, there we go
5:36
Now I do have to cover a tiny bit of this. cover a tiny bit of the speaker right here to make them play
5:43
So I can see that they're here that they can play. This is kind of annoying Okay so I made it a little bit louder
6:01
So I made it a little bit louder. So the sound right here, I don't know how well you can hear, I don't know how well you can hear through the sound right here, I don't know how how well you can hear through the
6:31
microphone, they're most certainly better ways of actually showcasing the sound. But to me listening to them, it's maybe I'm not like right now listening from the
6:45
far the bass sounded okay. When I put them on, maybe you have to make them a little
6:51
bit louder, more loud than I would prefer. But bass was a little bit lacking to me and
6:56
also a lot of the mid-ranges were just all over the were really sloppy and didn't really have the best sound overall
7:08
Which, when it comes down to any kind of headphones, earbuds, stuff like that
7:12
you're looking for a good sound. And these ones, in my opinion, just didn't deliver that kind of sound
7:18
that I would expect for the $250 price range that they come at, or probably 200 plus stocks
7:26
Now, one thing that I will also point out, maybe not the best comparison considering these are the overall
7:31
over the year while what I use on a daily basis is just an ear
7:36
But these soundpeeds come I believe at around $40. At least that's how much I paid for them
7:45
They're just some Chinese brand, or maybe not Chinese, but they're primarily being sold on, for instance, Ali Express
7:53
And for 40 bucks, these come with dual drivers, as you can see
8:01
They don't have any noise cancelling sadly, but they will outperform these headphones in terms of sound quality to the point that you kind of feel like you're listening to some garbage that you picked up off the street comparing to actual pro sound
8:18
Now, I'll also say that these do have really bassy sound. They are the farthest from actual like balanced sound
8:28
So they are specifically based. they have two drivers specifically for that one is there to deliver straight up bass
8:35
while the other ones are there to deliver the rest of the sounds and they do a spectacular job
8:40
at it comparing this to these they are just normal headphones they come would consider a premium price tag but they don deliver that premium sound quality
8:54
So the only thing that they're good at is looking nice, and outside of that, they don't do justice for the price that you pay
9:02
And if you're looking for over-dear your headphones, I can give you two different options
9:08
that have been out on the market since before, Bluetooth and wireless technology was really taking off as it is right now
9:20
So those would be Sony MXs. They have the MX, I can't really remember
9:25
but basically when you look for over-year wireless noise-canceling Sony headphones, they have basically only like one product that keeps getting updated over the years
9:35
And then the other ones are both quite comforts. again wireless ones so both of them will sound amazing there's no
9:47
comparison way better than this can sound and the benefit is both of these
9:52
companies Bose and Sony are what I would consider have leading technology in
9:57
terms of noise cancellation and there is basically nothing in my opinion that
10:01
compares to those two especially in terms of like the over-the-ear I haven't
10:05
tested I haven't tested the N-year Sony's because they did make ear
10:09
in ear so I can't really speak for them but I know that the over the ears are
10:14
some of the best noise cancelling along with some of the best sounds that you can
10:18
in my at least the sound that I like are well the best that can be delivered
10:24
and when you compare them to this while Sony's might be a little bit more
10:29
expensive or a bit more expensive and this bows will come if you get them on
10:36
sale it will basically be at the same price range of these
10:39
And when you have choice between those two, bows will win no matter what you, however you want to compare them
10:46
in every single way, they will be better. Noise cancelling sound design is a little bit more simple
10:54
comparing it to this one. They're both clean in terms of that, but Bose has a little bit of an older design
11:01
if you can describe it that way. After all, the quiet comforts have been out for a good several years now
11:09
Their design hasn't changed, I believe, for like close to a decade. But that doesn't really change the fact that they all sound hands down better than this
11:19
So at the end of the day, I'll really stay away from this because it's just not worth your money
11:26
