The HUAWEI FreeBuds Lipstick are true wireless earbuds with an open-fit active noise cancellation, featuring a 14.3 mm driver and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity. They offer up to 22 hours of total playtime with the charging case when ANC is disabled.

The HearWiki takeAI-condensed

The Huawei FreeBuds Lipstick combine a striking, fashion-forward design with effective feedforward noise cancellation and a 14.3 mm driver for clear sound. They support Bluetooth 5.2, multipoint, and a custom EQ via the app, but their battery life is modest, especially with ANC on. The IPX4 rating and touch controls add everyday convenience, though the lack of wireless charging and unconventional fit may not suit everyone.

What works

  • Distinctive premium design
  • Effective noise cancellation
  • Customizable EQ via app
  • Multipoint Bluetooth 5.2
  • Lightweight with IPX4 rating

What doesn't

  • Short battery life with ANC (2.5 hours)
  • No wireless charging
  • Fit may be awkward for some due to lack of tips
  • Case recharges only via USB-C

gizmochina20.4K viewsNov 2021

The reviewer finds the Huawei FreeBuds Lipstick to be a well-built, premium-feeling product whose main appeal is its unique lipstick-inspired design, particularly aimed at women. While the sound quality, noise cancellation, and other features are only average, the comfortable fit, low latency, and good battery life make it a solid daily option. The design is polarizing, so the reviewer advises checking with the intended recipient before buying it as a gift.

HUAWEI FreeBuds Lipstick - słuchawki, które wyglądają jak szminka

Robert Nawrowski5.4K viewsNov 2021

The reviewer finds the Huawei FreeBuds Lipstick to be a very original and stylish product, primarily aimed at women, with a design that looks like a lipstick. While the sound quality is surprisingly decent, with good bass and highs, the active noise cancellation is poor, and the design is prone to scratching. The reviewer concludes that the price is high, largely due to the unique design, but the headphones are a solid choice for those who prioritize looks and a gift for women.
