Also new in Stiftung Warentest's constantly updated headphone database: 16 current Bluetooth headphones - including in-ears, open-ears and headband models. One in-ear reduces ambient noise perfectly, another fails in this test point. The devices also perform very differently in terms of wearing comfort: many fit well or very well, others fall out of the ear easily...

Product details
The HUAWEI FreeBuds 6i feature enhanced algorithms and hardware for noise cancellation. The intelligent and dynamic ANC 3.0 identifies and calculates noise and wearing conditions in real-time, dynamically adjusting the level of noise cancellation for an optimal and personalized effect. A C-shaped noise filter chamber, improved ear tips, three microphones, a 240% increase in processing power, a dynamic driver with four magnets, and five hardware upgrades for noise cancellation contribute to a better performance. The 11 mm dynamic quad-magnet driver delivers dynamic bass performance. The FreeBuds are available in three different designs with trendy color contrasts, offering 35 hours of battery life, 10 minutes of quick charging, and 4 hours of listening pleasure. They are stylish, versatile, and provide powerful noise cancellation.

If you are looking for relatively inexpensive ANC headphones, you can't go wrong with the FreeBuds 6i. The wireless headphones from Huawei impress with their appealing active noise cancellation, which automatically adjusts the intensity if desired. The sound is also quite impressive - or rather, it can be heard...

The Freebuds 6? do a lot of things right. They offer a very high level of wearing comfort and equally great app control. The sound is pleasantly warm, but also lacks brilliance - but in this price range there are certainly worse things. However, Huawei does not deliver a good result in terms of battery life.
