Huawei Freebuds Se 4: A concentrate of technologies with ANC for less than 50 €

Less than a year after the very affordable release Freebuds Se 3Huawei is already launching their successors, the Freebuds SE 4. New reference model of the SE series, they are identified as a reduced version of Freebuds 6i.

Of the ANC and a semi-intra design … A first in the entry-level Huawei

This time, the Chinese manufacturer seems to take the side of improving experience without significant price increase. Indeed, the Freebuds SE 4 abandon the design open-free of their elders for the benefit of an insulating semi-introicular architecture. In addition to being likely to provide a higher sound restitution at the bottom of the spectrum, this design allowed Huawei to integrate an active noise reduction system presented as effective.

The Freebuds SE 4 thus offer three anc (comfortable, general and ultra) modes, the most efficient would be able to offer up to 24 db of attenuation. This figure seems to us, for once, realistic compared to the 45 dB or 50 db utopian frequently announced by competition. However, the brand does not mention the presence of transparency mode.

Aware that silicone tips can be cleaned, Huawei would have been based on more than 10,000 databases from the auditory channel to obtain the most universal port comfort as possible. In addition, for a daily use on a daily basis, each headset weighs only 4.3 g and benefits from IP54 certification protecting them effectively from splashes and other dirt. On the command side, if the volume setting is missing, the Freebuds SE 4 obviously offer reading, calls and the ANC via their touch interface.

10 mm transducers, Bluetooth 5.4 and up to 10 hours of autonomy

Although we can expect a certain sound modesty with regard to their positioning, the freebuds are promised to deliver a balanced sound in ” treble, mediums and bass Thanks to 10 mm transducers. Be that as it may, these headphones seem to offer a complete listening experience, thanks to an equalizer available via the AI ​​Life application, predefined sound modes and a latest generation Bluetooth 5.4 chip suggesting a stable connection. No information is given, however, on the presence of the multipoint, a low-latency mode, or even advanced audio codecs.

The calls, on the other hand, are supported by three directional microphones and an AI algorithm reducing ambient noises. Autonomy is promised at 7 a.m. with the activated noise reduction, and 10 a.m. in passive insulation. Performance in the average, nothing more.

Available now in black and white finishes at a price of € 49.99, freebuds SE 4 could easily position themselves among wireless headphones at the best price/quality ratio of 2025 Given the performance in ANC and the number of functions announced.
