Huawei launched the FreeBuds 7i alongside the Mate XTs, (which we’ve already covered elsewhere). Now this guy features a redesigned charging case, stem-style earbuds, and some upgraded audio tech compared to its predecessor, the FreeBuds 6i. In this article, i will discuss everything about the latest Huawei FreeBuds 7i, including its expected price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.
Huawei FreeBuds 7i Overview
Design and Build
The charging case has shifted from an oval shape in the 6i to a round design whereas the earbuds themselves have a stem design with in-ear silicone tips and come with four sizes. Each earbud weighs arund 5.4 grams, while the case comes in at 36.5 grams. The earbuds are IP54 rated for dust and water resistance, though the charging case isn’t water-resistant.
Audio and Connectivity
Inside, the FreeBuds 7i have 11mm quad-magnet dynamic drivers, and Huawei says the sound tuning is improved and naturally balanced. The frequency response ranges from 20Hz to 40kHz, and they support Hi-Res Audio. Bluetooth 5.4 allows multi-point pairing, so you can connect to two devices at once, and codecs include SBC, AAC, L2HC 2.0, and LDAC. Active Noise Cancellation is handled by Intelligent Dynamic ANC 4.0, with Huawei claiming up to 28dB noise reduction and a faster 0.5-second response.
But one thing to note: unlike smartphones, you can’t really judge earbuds just by specs. Tuning matters more than anything, and the only way to know if they click with your ears is to listen. Features we can assess objectively include touch controls, which support swipes and taps, and wearing detection, which pauses audio when you remove the buds.

Battery and Charging
Each earbud has a 55.5 mAh battery, while the case holds 510 mAh. Playback with ANC off goes up to 8 hours per bud and 35 hours total with the case. With ANC on, expect up to 5 hours per bud. Charging time is around 40 minutes for the earbuds, 60 minutes for the case, and 60 minutes if charging both together via USB Type-C. Meanwhile, the earbuds support Huawei’s voice assistant on HarmonyOS 2.0+
