Huawei FreeBuds SE 4 are affordable headphones with ANC and great battery life. They have just arrived in the Czech Republic

Huawei is expanding its range of wireless headphones with the FreeBuds SE 4 model, targeting Czech customers with a price of 1,499 CZK. The new product combines active noise cancellation with long battery life and an ultra-light design, placing it in direct competition with the popular Redmi Buds 6 Pro from Xiaomi. Huawei has extensive experience with affordable headphones and regularly proves that an accessible price doesn’t have to mean compromises in sound quality.

Light as a feather with comfortable wear

The first thing that stands out about the FreeBuds SE 4 is their low weight of 4.3 grams per earbud. The total weight with the charging case is 41.3 grams, making them one of the lightest ANC headphones on the market. The closed-back, in-ear design ensures quality isolation from the surrounding environment, while the ergonomic design guarantees comfortable wear even during all-day use. They are available in black and white color variants, which represents a somewhat conservative approach. Recently, we often see manufacturers experimenting with more vibrant shades.

Three noise cancellation modes for every situation

The main advantage of the new FreeBuds SE 4 is active noise cancellation (ANC) with a level of 24 dB. Users can choose from three modes depending on the current situation – Comfort, Standard, and Ultra, which differ in the intensity of ambient sound suppression. For safe movement in the city, there is also a transparency mode, which allows important ambient sounds to pass through. The quality of ANC is handled by three microphones, which simultaneously ensure clear calls thanks to advanced sound pickup.

Battery life for a week of listening

Huawei traditionally excels in battery life, and the FreeBuds SE 4 are no exception. With ANC off, they last up to 10 hours of continuous listening on a single charge, and an impressive 50 hours with the charging case. With noise cancellation on, the battery life drops to 7 hours, or 35 hours with the case. Fast charging is supported, where just 10 minutes in the case provides 4 hours of music playback.

Modern connectivity and durability

The headphones utilize the latest Bluetooth 5.4 for stable and energy-efficient connectivity. SBC, AAC, and A2DP codecs are supported, ensuring high-quality wireless audio transmission. The FreeBuds SE 4 feature 10mm dynamic drivers with a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz for balanced sound across the entire spectrum. IP54 certification guarantees resistance to dust and splashing water, making them suitable for sports activities.

Intuitive gesture control

The headphones are controlled using touch gestures on their surface. Double-tapping pauses playback or answers a call, while triple-tapping skips to the next track. Holding an earbud for two seconds activates noise cancellation mode. For advanced settings, a mobile application is available, allowing customization of functions according to personal preferences. The headphones are fully compatible with iOS, Android, and EMUI operating systems.

Huawei FreeBuds SE 4 represent an interesting choice for users looking for affordable ANC headphones without major compromises. With a price of 1,499 CZK, they compete not only with the aforementioned Redmi Buds 6 Pro but also with models like the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro. The combination of effective noise cancellation, long battery life, and an ultra-light design makes them a practical companion for daily music listening and work calls.
