I use these buds for work so voice calls were very important for me.

Hearing volume a bit lower but callers from the other end had no problems listening to my voice calls in all environments.

Compared to the sony wf-1000xm3 which i also had. The sony's were totally unusable unless u are in a closed room with no other voices or if u are shouting. They picked up every single voice around u instead of just isolating YOUR voice. Total crap for making calls. 99% of the reviews totally ignored this fact.

I fully agreed. The Sony xm3 voice calls was non existent. I had to even resort to disconnect the Bluetooth and listen using phone.

Just got my freebuds 3 and I got to agree that hearing volume from the other party is softer. I'm using Pixel 4 by the way.

My airpods 2 is louder in hearing the other party.

That's how the CVC works isolate human voice over everything else.

The Huawei works better for voice as they have a bone conduction sensor for picking up voice.

If you really require a wireless headset during work for phone calls, you should never had bought a product meant for music and buy those mono Bluetooth headsets specifically made for voice calls.

The latest firmware 208 seems to adjust the volume loud enough even for my insensitive ears.

They also finally managed to add double tap to end call yay!

p/s: 2 update on the firmware so far since I got my headset on launch. well done Huawei

Anyone notice the full charge case drop from 100-95% quite fast in standby mode ? Is this normal (both pods is 100% thou)

Update it stay at 95% till now . Only initial 5% drop

Can any bro confirm this ? If is a lemon set need to return asap

he doesn't know... he already explained that it's only 5% increment shown, so whatever power draw they will show 95% instead of 99.99%

Hi guys, does the music pause when either side of the buds is removed? Mine didn't. I can't seems to find any options to enable that feature.

I read that this auto pause feature only works with Huawei phones running at least EMUI10 OS.

I also don't have this feature coz I'm using Samsung
