Open-Ear Comfort & Secure Fit: Designed for Every Movement
Athletes at Pretty Huge were immediately impressed with the HUAWEI FreeArc’s secure and comfortable fit, a crucial aspect for any workout audio gear.
Unmatched Stability for Intense Workouts
“The HUAWEI FreeArc really stays on no matter how hard you move,” remarked Ebong Sonido, who tested the audio device during a training session. Thanks to its innovative C-Bridge design, featuring a 140° Optimal Triangle shape and gravity-balanced architecture, the HUAWEI FreeArc offers unmatched stability. This design is perfect for staying in place during explosive HIIT sessions and rapid-fire drills commonly seen at Pretty Huge.
Ebong, seen wearing the HUAWEI FreeArc in Grey, added, “I’ve never worn earbuds that felt this light and secure. I can run, jump, and hang upside down during training, and they just stay in place.” Furthermore, the earbuds’ S-shaped curves adapt to the natural ear contours of users. The droplet-shaped earhooks are also fine-tuned to fit every ear shape, significantly enhancing the earbuds’ snugness.
Lightweight and Breathable Design
Aside from its secure fit, Pretty Huge members highlighted the HUAWEI FreeArc’s comfortable and breathable feel. “I barely feel them during my workouts,” Ebong claimed. “They feel so comfortable, I forget I’m even wearing them. It’s a total game-changer.” This exceptional comfort is due to the hypoallergenic, skin-friendly liquid silicone material used in the HUAWEI FreeArc. Additionally, its 0.7mm Ni-Ti shape-memory alloy easily fits any ear shape, making them both more secure and more comfortable. Athletes reported hardly any discomfort even after wearing the earbuds during extended sessions.
Sterling Sound Quality to Fuel Every Rep
Whether deep in a playlist during a workout or taking an important call amidst a busy training day, Pretty Huge members enjoyed sterling sound quality from the HUAWEI FreeArc. Ralph Combalicer, testing the HUAWEI FreeArc alongside a HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4, stated, “It feels like my playlist was cheering me on. The bass is powerful, but I can still hear my coach when I need to.”
Consistent Connectivity and Clarity
The HUAWEI FreeArc features a smart antenna that maintains a connection up to 400 meters, ideal for Pretty Huge’s large training areas. With a 17x12mm highly sensitive audio driver, 4-layer noise cancelling, and a dual-mic layout, the earbuds allowed athletes to take private, crystal-clear calls. This held true no matter how busy the facility got during group classes. The importance of reliable audio in busy environments is often discussed in tech reviews, like those found on sites such as TechRadar.
Ralph added, “The sound quality is amazing. Even during group sessions with loud music, I could still hear my own playlist clearly.” He also found the open-ear design particularly helpful. “I love that I can stay aware of what’s going on around me while still enjoying my music; that’s a big plus for safety,” he said. Moreover, Multi-EQ modes let users tailor sound to their needs, while the 4m/s wind-noise resistance kept conversations sharp.
IP57 Water Resistance: Perfect for Sweaty Sessions
Training in the Philippines’ tropical heat proved no challenge for the HUAWEI FreeArc. Whether powering through HIIT circuits or sprinting, the earbuds kept up.
“I sweat a lot… but that didn’t change the quality and performance of the HUAWEI FreeArc,” said Ralph. “It’s the kind of reliability you want.” As HUAWEI’s first TWS earbuds with IP57 water resistance, the HUAWEI FreeArc handles sweat and light water exposure without missing a beat.
Smart Features for Ultimate Convenience
Pretty Huge athletes found it easier to focus on their sessions thanks to the HUAWEI FreeArc’s long battery life. “The battery life on this is another level!” shared Ebong. Indeed, the earbuds offer 7 hours of audio playback on a single charge, extending up to 28 hours with the case. A quick 10-minute charge also provides 3 hours of playback.
With Dual Device Connection, members effortlessly switched between devices. “I tried it with my watch and then switched over to my phone. There was no lag, no hassle at all,” Ebong noted. Furthermore, multi-area gesture controls allow easy management of the listening experience without needing to interact with phones or smartwatches. “The gesture controls are amazing… I don’t even have to touch my phone at all unless needed,” Ebong claimed.
